Beforehand, I wasn't expecting much from this flick. I don't know, maybe because Richard Gere was involved. Anyway, eventually, I thought it was a decent fantastic thriller. Of course, most of it doesn't make it any sense but I thought the whole thing was actually pretty entertaining and it was above all thanks to the director, Mark Pellington.

I was pleasantly surprised not only with how serious they made the mothman legend seem but with Richard Gere's performance as well. Some reviewer on Netflix said the movie kept them guessing what would happen next, and I agree for the most part. The Mothman Prophecies was interesting and fresh while maintaining a good atmosphere.

Vaikkei toteutus juuri poikkeakaan mistään tusinapsykologisesta trilleristä, on 60-luvulla ihmisille aina onnettomuuksien yhteydessä näyttäytynyt koimies aiheena itselleni sen verran kiinnostava että tätä jaksaa katsella helposti loppumetreille saakka.

The Real Story: Reports of sightings of a large, unidentified winged creature -- dubbed the Mothman -- occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia for 13 months between 1966 and 1967. Then, on Dece"
