Based On True Events
From the director of Arlington Road comes a spine-tingling, super-natural thriller based on actual events that will rattle your nerves and shake your beliefs.
Distraught by the sudden, tragic death of his wife (Debra Messing), John Klein (Richard Gere), a journalist for The Washington Post, finds himself mysteriously drawn to a small West Virginia town when his car inexplicably strands him. Rescued by the sympathetic but skeptical local police sergeant (Laura Linney), he soon learns that many of the town's residents have been beset by bizarre events, including sightings of an eerie "moth-like" entity, similar to the one seen by his late wife. Investigating further and having his own terrifying encounters with the creature, he becomes obsessed with the idea that this supernatural being can predict impending calamities and is trying to warn the town of one. Is this a psychic delusion brought on by his grief or can he convince the police sergeant that there's a tragedy that must be averted? His life, and potentially other's lives, depend on his making the right choices before time runs out.

Missing the mark as a thriller - 4 out of 5 (6/16/2002)
'The Mothman Prophecies' is stated to be based on true events. This would lead credence to the saying 'Truth is more Boring than Fiction'. Somehow I am a bit old fashion and feel that a thriller should, oh, I don't know, have some thrills in it. The story plods along with a few distractions but fails to deliver the edge of your seat entertainment. John Klein (Richard Gere) is a successful reporter for the famed Washington Post. He is about to buy a house with his beautiful wife Mary (Debra Messi

An effective thriller! - 4 out of 5 (5/10/2004)
The Mothman Prophecies and The Others are the only two recently released movies that can accutually generate chills. A great cast causes an extremely creepy thriller. Revolving around the death of a reporter's wife as he slowely uncovers the secrets of her death is the basic plot, but because of the way the movie is made I haven't seen a movie with so much originality in a long time. Well worth the buy for anybody who enjoys a good scare.

Very Entertaining Movie, but that is it. - 3.5 out of 5 (6/18/2002)
After reading a few reviews I thought that skip on the Mothman Prophecies. Just goes to show you that you need to see it for yourself. I thought that this movie was very entertaining. It is a worthwhile film that will kind of freak you out. Not really scary but freaky.
