Better than its trailers indicate. Forget the seemingly silly Chapstick moment: Any film that sends a cold shock to your system is doing something right.
Watching the film is like getting hooked by a fearful angler who can't successfully reel you in.
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. There is also the problem that insects make unsatisfactory villains unless they are very big.

I loved this film.
It has a genuine creepy feel to it accompanied by great music. There are scenes that are very memorable, and years later, I still get goosebumps watching some of them. I really recommend this movie.

A film that respects the audience's intelligence. The unknown is the scariest film. This is one of the best films ever made.

This is one of those films I will watch again, and have done so over the years. There is great scary atmosphere throughout, and Gere plays his part really well. In my top ten creepy movies of all time.

The Mothman Prophecies is a good thriller that really surprises. Saspence is quite competent to apply, plus with the place of action writers guessed.

Movie does a nice job of creeping you out from start to finish. It gives you an uneasy feeling.
