Basically this is really bad. No one needs to see this. Unless you are in love with Jewel Staite. Who? My thoughts exactly. But she's pretty and a pleasure to look at... and there are girls in bikinis in the first 10 minutes. There is one very brief scary part (about two seconds worth) and one almost scary part (about half a second) and that's about it... truly next to zero creepy factor, lame CGI and mediocre acting. Bottomline: this movie sucks. I know I should stay away from Made-for-Syfy Channel TV movies but they call to me every now and then so I can see what a truly crappy movie is. 3.2 / 10 stars --Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener

Where do I even begin, I should have wrote down all of my complaints, now I have to remember all of them. Netflix is the king of crappy horror films, you can watch them all and not have to pay for their suck-age. This film is awful, it's TV movie bad, oh wait. So it starts off with some dumb-ass kids doing what they do best. The guys are douche-bags and the women are.... just there. So then the "dudes" start bullying some guys brother and eventually kill him. This is where the similarities with other horror films come into play. The "dude" leader makes a plan to get their worthless redneck lives out of hot water. Lets make it an accident, so lets all cave the dead brothers head in, yeah that will look like an accident. And the funny part is, the dead guys older brother just goes along with it, wow I wish he was my brother, get piccolo. The girl with the weird eyes from firefly is now our main character. What follows is an atrocious waste of an hour and 20 minutes. The plot is inconsistent, the characters can't act. The cgi moth-man looks like crap. It lacks any suspense or mystery, or even scares. I could easily remake this into a much better film, because I or any true horror fan knows what to do and how to do it. There are plenty of stupid things that don't make sense. Like how did that guy with the shotgun survive when we can clearly hear him being ripped apart. Or how the hell did Katherine and that guy get out of the cage, they could just lift it up, so stupid. And why did the moth-man attack some random lady on the Farris wheel, I thought he only killed murderers. Technically the moth-man is the hero, he delivers justice when no one else cared to. Anyway, this film sucked. Even if you like bad movies, I don't recommend it.

I first saw the mothman prophecies i thought that it was good. Many people that review this title did not think much of the movie and gave it low ratings. I have seen much much worse movies than this one and thought that over all it was good. It kept my interest through out the whole movie and i found the acting to be OK. I am a fan of the story and im not here to debate if moth man is real but it is a original story and have enjoyed all of them. Is this movie the best? no its not but i think it is worth watching for sure so you should check it out. Just do try to hide a secret from mothman because well.....

Swimming in a West Virginia river, six mature-looking teenagers tease (Jared's) younger brother Alex Hardee (as Jamie). They tell him the scary story of the legendary "Mothman" monster. During a strange water game, the cast pulls each other's legs down in the water. Somebody suffers a mishap and the swimmers, led by Jewel Staite (as Katharine Grant), decide to make the death seem like an accident. It already was an accident, and their repeated head-bashing only makes it look worse. However, nobody seems to notice. The kid's not dead, either; you can see him breathing. Maybe that's why the resuscitation attempt was so half-hearted... Ten years later, Ms. Staite returns to town. A Washington DC reporter, she has been assigned to write a story on the legendary "Mothman" monster of Point Pleasant... Staite meets the old gang after almost killing one of them in another accident. Quickly, supernatural stuff begins to happen. Probably, the monster is out to punish the cast for making an accidental drowning look like an accident. There is also a parallel incident involving blind resident Jerry Leggio (as Frank Waverly). The leading man is Connor Fox (as Derek Carpenter). The cast is attractive and the special effects are serviceable. Director Sheldon Wilson uses the red eye symbolism well and keeps the cameras steady. Unfortunately, as we get more of the Mothman and the murders, it looks sillier. The story never really makes any sense. *** Mothman (4/24/10) ~ Sheldon Wilson ~ Jewel Staite, Connor Fox, Matty Ferraro, Jerry Leggio

Just finished watching SyFy's Mothman and got to say I wasn't expecting much. In all honesty I was only really interested because it had Jewel Straite in it! I was pleasantly surprised. There are numerous reasons when watching this to shake your head or role your eyes. The attempt at CPR in the first 10 minutes is an absolute joke, the first act is a knock off of 'I know what you did last summer'. And please tell me, if they were going to hide the way Jamie died and say he died diving into shallow water, why did they take turns hitting the body in the head with a rock?!!! Did he do it 6 times? But things really improve as the movie progresses. The mirror breaking when Katherine (Jewels character) looks into it and says 'You look as bad as I feel' shows real skill for the director in timing, I wasn't expecting it and it drew me into the movie. The characters are believable and likable (except for Jared who I thought was retarded) and the actors did a decent job, especially Jewel. There continues to be stupid elements and scenes such as naming the native American who became the Mothman Chief Cornstalk, and the shotgun that Jewel uses near the end when she shots the Mothman about 10 times without reloading, but they were forgivable. The CGI was very poor and is probably the biggest let down. If the production had put more money into the CGI, cleaned up the script the movie would have been good enough for theatrical release (I mean if Killers can get a theatrical release... Overall I give it a 7.

Have you ever seen a moth? Did it look frightening to you? If yes then this movie will scare you pretty well, but if not...you'll feel like watching an apple rot. Acting is mostly decent, but I must say the script is below average, and somewhat too predictable. I wished Mothman to eat all the people responsible for their bad actions, because this thing has a justice written all over its crappy wings. Didn't get to see that I'm afraid, but I got to see people trying to kill it with guns, West Virginia hill-billy TM, without success of course. Mothman quickly kills off characters who happen to have 10 lines of text to say. Mothman looks like he's the cousin of the Scream Mask, but with glowing red eyes from the pot he and his designer/inventor smoked. Girl protagonist is annoyingly talking with her natural high pitched voice that would scare the real thing. Seriously, few actors are good at giving their best, but the main character hasn't got anything else to show for. Not even cleavage. Mothman didn't feel scary, but his death did...great way of copying "Blade", "Buffy the Vampire"...etc.

do yourself a favor .........whenever you see a movie directed by sheldon Wilson ........just skip it and keep those minutes you would have wasted watching a movie like this and save them for something worthwhile .....this guy is responsible for a half dozen stinkers already, look it up on this site if you don't believe it ....SyFy even made the ironic mistake of listing this as "the mothman prophecies" 2002 with Richard Gere and Laura Linney. ........ha, there is no comparison to the story told faithfully with great actors and great direction and top flight production values, etc,etc. with this tripe by Wilson............i'm sure it would not even have been made if they hadn't bamboozled jewel "firefly" staite into the lead .........boy, what some people will do for money. ............i have to say though, it was kind of the director(or more likely, the editor) to keep staite out of frame and shoot the bikini scenes in the beginning from her left POV (we are now puffing up our cheeks, as it were) no wide shots of her in a bikini, especially from behind, if you know what i mean.............anyway, that's Hollywood, sometimes.

I guess I just understood the plot better because I grew up in Point Pleasant. This is the only movie that touched on the idea of Chief Cornstalk and the battle of Point Pleasant. I understand how things wouldn't flow right for someone who has never heard the old stories about the mothman. Some details of the movie were completely wrong. For example, there was no old mill in Pt. Pleasant. It was an old TNT manufacturing plant. There was radiation from the plant that may have made the mothman, so people say. The area that the plant was in was called the TNT area, and this is where the mothman was first sighted. There are still very odd things that happen in that area today. But for the most part, I enjoyed the movie very much!!

I believe that this movie is getting a worse credit then it deserves. I saw it the other night (before going to sleep was not a good idea) and it was not that bad. You have to admit that Sci-Fi (I prefer the old name) has had worse. And even though I missed the first part (I came in when the lady got killed in her car), the storyline is coherent enough to still make sense. The method of how the Mothman emerges is lacking and has been used. I mean, come on, reflective surfaces? There are an infinite number of reflective surfaces. The windshield glass that they didn't smash is reflective like the mirrors. The gun's barrel, the car's wheels, and their cell phone screens are all reflective.
