	The Mothman Prophecies (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2002 film The Mothman Prophecies is an adaptation of the 1976 book The Mothman Prophecies by parapsychologist and Fortean John Keel, described as nonfiction.
		Apparently these strange encounters are from a creature known as the Mothman which foretells catalysmic events.
		The scenes of a despondent Gere sitting on a park bench are on the University of Pittsburgh campus, the road montages are filmed on Pennsylvania State Route 28, and the "Chicago" scenes are largely shot in downtown Pittsburgh.

	The Mothman File
		The Mothman Prophecies, a stylish new psychological thriller starring Richard Gere, has all the elements of a particularly sophisticated episode of The X-Files - a frightening red-eyed monster, sinister telepaths, disturbing dreams, phantoms, paranoia and creeping madness.
		He chronicled his experiences in a book, The Mothman Prophecies (also published as Visitors From Space: The Astonishing, True Story of the Mothman Prophecies), a headily baroque mixture of the intriguing and the crackpot, in which the author appears to be steadily losing his mind.
		Mothman is a big, shadowy shape with giant wings and glowing red eyes, supposedly sighted by dozens of folks near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, over a 13-month period beginning in 1966.

	The Cryptid Zoo: Mothman
		Mothman has been sighted many places in Virginia and West Virginia, but the largest number of sightings happened in or near a place known as "the TNT Area," an abandoned ammunitions dump dating from World War II that is near Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
		Mothman is described as being gray (or possibly brown) in color.
		Since there only seems to be one Mothman instead of a bunch of his kind, and since he seems rather paranormal, these sightings are not of much interest to cryptozoologists.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
		The Mothman Prophecies, based on a series of true events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the late 1960s, is a much better film than In Dreams.
		The Mothman Prophecies is primarily about the paranormal experiences in West Virginia, partially shown and partially told through Klein's investigation.
		Klein becomes increasingly obsessed with the story, especially since it has the potential for personal catharsis, and The Mothman Prophecies, unlike the book by the same name, almost flirts with becoming a `the protagonist is really just insane' thriller.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Mothman Prophecies
		Nobody seems to know if the Mothman is a savior or is the inexplicable force behind the disasters, but those who've seen him come away from the experience shaken (not stirred).
		In The Mothman Prophecies, the disaster occurs on Christmas Eve as a cheap ploy to heighten the impact of the story, but this is a fabrication.
		The Mothman is actually seen once, and Indrid Cole is seen in shadows at another point in the film, but there is no climax regarding the very phenomenon around which the film is based.

		August 29, 2004: The CBS News Sunday Morning re-broadcast Bill Geist's report on the Mothman Festival from 2003, in which John A. Keel is shown in one of his rare appearances, all dressed in a white suit.

	DVD Review: The Mothman Prophecies
		The Mothman Prophecies also suffered from his comments made in NYC after the World Trade Center tragedy that alienated him from a lot of the viewing public.
		Since The Mothman Prophecies was released at that time it was a cosmic case of classic bad timing.
		In all The Mothman Prophecies has merit for those following the career of the director but is otherwise not really up to what the hype would have had you believe.

	Mothman Prophecies, The (2002): Reviews
		The Mothman is singularly ineffective as a threat because it is only vaguely glimpsed, has no nature we can understand, doesn't operate under rules that the story can focus on, and seems to be involved in space-time shifts far beyond its presumed focus.
		The Mothman Prophecies loses impact for its accent in to be diferent from the usual films of the genre.
		The occult contrivances of this movie are baffling and the visual style lacks focus with its flashiness but at the film's core is a genuinely moving story of a man unable to come to terms with the death of his wife.

		Mothman having anything to do with demons and angels or any religious overtones is as far from the truth as you could possibly be.
		The Mothman Prophecies is a well-crafted, and at times terrifying, story based on true events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966.
		The Mothman Prophecies is a throwback to the time when "horror movie" didn't actually mean "Teenage Gore Fest." I guess the word for it now would be 'thriller,' and thrill it does.

	The Mothman Prophecies
		Mothman sightings, that began in the mid 1960's in the West Virginia town of Point Pleasant, predicted a catastrophic event.
		The story of a reporter who is driven to grief by the untimely death of his wife and wanders into a town disturbed by ominous sightings of a prophetic "Mothman" has more on the screen than is readily identifiable.
		Their fantasies complement Klein's distorted thinking and he is quick to adopt the Mothman prophecies to rationalize his tragic life.

	THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Allied with that idea, The Mothman Prophecies is about knowing certain things of the future and exorcising the past, about accepting that there are things in life that can't be prevented.
		The Mothman Prophecies is a self-reflexive discussion of the ways in which popular culture assimilates supernatural archetype.
		Because The Mothman Prophecies is a PG-13 affair, Pellington is bleeped to hell, and since if he's not swearing, he's smoking, it makes for a documentary harder on the ears than an episode of "The Osbournes".

		The Mothman Prophecies is only an effective relief, if you have trouble to fall into asleep or have a maniacal pleasure to torture yourself by killing 2-hours in front of TV for nothing.
		The drawings of the 'Mothman' are exactly the same as the ones his wife had drawn while in hospital, just before she died.
		He hears of the sightings or visions of this strange creature nicknamed the mothman and recognises it's description as being the same as a number of doodlings his wife made shortly before her death.

	Movie-List - Reviews - The Mothman Prophecies
		One thing that does boggle me is why they arrived at the conclusion that this is a mothman when it is blatantly obvious by the drawings shown that this figure looked a lot more like the grim reaper.
		I mean the circumstances, the prophecies and impending death all relate back to what has been described as the myth surrounding the reaper.
		I kept finding myself comparing this film to the other real-life paranormal film Fire in the Sky which was a far better film in my opinion because it actually had pacing, an enveloping paranoia and presence.

		It appears that many Point Pleasant residents have seen a “mothman” creature similar to the one experienced by Mary, and she begins to actively haunt him.

		The movie even trots out the idea that Mothman has a prepaid phone card that lets him telephone nervous journalists in the middle of the night, frightening them by announcing the kind of tiny details that could only be known by someone standing in the same room.
		On expert analysis, the Mothman's lines are determined not to have been delivered by human vocal cords (a quaint notion given that voice synthesis is easily available technology these days for any 12 year old with a PC).
		What I hadn't counted on was the extent to which these movies-I'm thinking Mothman as well as last year's sleeper hits The Others and Vanilla Sky-would share with The Sixth Sense a desire to closely examine death and the aftermath of death as paranormal phenomena.

	AboutFilm.com - The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
		The Mothman Prophecies is based on the premise that for centuries and across cultures, there have been sightings of an entity resembling a human-sized moth in conjunction with major disasters.
		Similarly, there were multiple Mothman sightings before and during the Xiaon Te Dam collapse in China in 1926, a 1983 plane disappearance in the Bermuda triangle, a 1978 mine collapse in Germany, and an earthquake in Chicago in 1951--the only earthquake in the city's history.
		Before the disaster, there were more than one hundred reports of Mothman sightings, as well as other anomalies (the usual UFO sightings, green aliens with anal probes, etc.), many of which were reported in the local paper and enough to convince most people there was something funny going on.

		"The Mothman Prophecies" is an example of low-grade horror with high-grade talent.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: The Mothman Prophecies
		After his arrival, he is shocked to learn that the entire town is overcome with fear with several of the citizens claiming to have had encounters with the creature; and one, Gordon (Will Patton), claiming to have spoken with and met the creature.
		We rarely even see glimpses of the mysterious Mothman and we are expected to be satisfied with camera trickery and spooky voices.
		This film tries to portray The Mothman as some kind of super intelligent extraterrestrial, while most articles I have read and websites I have visited view The Mothman as more of a demon or unexplained creature, like Bigfoot or Nessie.

	AskMen.com - Mothman prophecies
		UFO sighting: The Mothman appearances in Point Pleasant were often related to bright lights in the sky and conspicuous Men in Black harassing citizens to keep quiet about the incident.
		Over the years, the Mothman has apparently been witnessed in a variety of tragedies happening around the world, like the collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant in 1967, during which many people reported seeing red lights over the bridge.
		The Mothman is also believed to have appeared before the Chernobyl explosion in 1986; in a woman's dreams to warn her that her plane was going to disappear in the Bermuda triangle in 1983; and in 1978 Germany to scare off workers, keeping them from entering a mine that collapsed moments later.

	The Mothman Prophecies
		People began to speculate that the Mothman was somehow responsible for the bridge’s collapse, but there was no reason to make such a connection.
		Although these "prophecies" were precise, none of them ever came true, except in the sense that any general type of prophecy may come true if worded correctly and interpreted liberally.
		I need to stress here that not only were the prophecies all inaccurate, but these types of mysterious paranormal communications happened only to John Keel, not to any locals or others who could corroborate them.

		A much respected reporter for the Washington Post John Klein (Richard Gere) is about to have his life turned upside down when his wife dies in an automobile accident that seems to have been caused by a mysterious flying creature which he never did see himself.
		The lighting, camerawork, sound and editing are always on top form which is something that prevents the movie from disappearing into the ranks of science fiction B movie hokum.
		Although the ending is Mothman free it certainly does jolt the emotions and evokes a sort of belittling sympathy for the human beings of this planet.
