The Mothman Prophecies (DVD, 2002)

" Yes I loved this movie based on actual events, the creep factor was one hundred percent even after seeing it a few times, and the actors were very convincing.

A lot of very disturbing things out there that we just can't explain or perhaps we are not meant to be able to. For something to ponder on...its a good start.

Ready for some thing worse? then try: The Entity staring Barbera Hershey based on true life events that became impossible to stop, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose again true horror based on events that took place in Germany and involved a very high profile court case.

So you think your living in a nuts and bolts modern world?

Be warned, they WILL all keep you awake at night."

this is onew of the best movies of its kind the makers show us you dont need in your face monsters buckets o blood to give you the creeps an i do like thouse kinds of movies but this is a smart movie i have not been this freak'd out cents i saw the exorcist but with out puke an foul mouth-e-ness mothman is a great fun on a dark night

An excellent suspense-thriller type movie with virtually no profanity or obscene content. Story based on a series of real events with minimal embellishment. A good scary movie for teenagers without the nasty gore and blood so common these days. Watch and wonder, when does it come back?

A 1st runner-up to The X-Files Movie, but with two different "agents." Same quirky, eerie feel. Great movie if you're looking for some chills and thrills.

No complaints. It came very quickly in the condition promised. I have been burned MANY times from the ebay system not allowing me to complain about a shitbag who never sent the goods beacause it was too soon to complain about such, then missed the other side of the window, saying "It's too late to complain now.." I think this feature of ebay sucks canal water.

I purchased this movie not only because the seller offered it at a low cost, she also offered the shipping at the cost it should be to ship a DVD movie. Se also started the auction with a buy it now so it was very convienient to buy! As for the movie itself, very good thriller! Answered alot of questions I needed answered personaly and was recomended by a friend to do so

Based upon true events around 1966-1967, The Mothman Prophecies centers around a rash of weird, somewhat supernatural, events reportedly occurring in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

Covering a story for the Washington Post, John Klein (Richard Gere) drives south towards Richmond. He unexpectedly has car trouble and finds himself far off course. He walks in the rain to try to find help and winds up knocking on the door of Gordon and Denise Smallwood (Tom Patton and Lucinda Jenney). Gordon becomes very irritated and angry. Gordon claims that John has knocked on his door three nights in a row exactly at 2 a.m. When Sergeant Connie Parker (Laura Linney) arrives to investigate, Klein discovers this is just one of many strange events happening in this small town. With Parker's assistance, John continues to seek answers to these freakish events. Soon, it becomes clear as mud what is going on and soon becomes convinced that some traumatic disasters have or will occur.

Although this film evades many factual accounts of the Point Pleasant events,
the filmmaker's attempts to dramatize the story and capitalize on the audience's overall appeal, seems to have paid off in many ways. The director has options to use documented facts and re-enactments with segments of fantasy and fact added, subtracted, or mixed together for overall shock appeal. One thing to realize is that the film was actually shot in in present day.

What unfolds and what follows, centers around locals who reported strange encounters with UFOs, visits from men in black suits, metallic sounding voices on the line from strange sources calling people, and reports of seeing a winged creature that they soon coined the Mothman. Some locals actually foretold of future events, some of which came true, yet others did not. One such prediction of the December 1967 disaster did occur, and is the basis for the film climax.

Although some investigative information points to a high probability that some of the events were perpetrated by a prankster name Barker. Other events suggest a much wider scope of occurrences to have fallen on one or several lone pranksters.

This film succeeds at being an extremely unforgettable supernatural thriller that stands on its own and emphasizes its strengths as a quirky study of life and death imitating art. The director focuses on the theme of confusion within our own grey areas of our psyche where we struggle to differentiate between reality and make-believe.

The cinematography was purposely dark, offbeat, gyrating, fading, sudden pans across confusing scenery, with a cross-eyed, blurry vision twist to boot. Mothman Prophecies contains looming moments with building intensity of light and sound, ominous music, and a creepy dialogue to match. This overall mood allows the viewer to become totally engrossed in one's self expressive doom, whereby a feeling of unseen and unforeseen forces might be lurking just around the corner hiding in the shadows or watching you from within your own mind. Boo!

I've got to give this film a 5/5 or 10/10 for its spooky tone and unforgettable and spine tingling story.

IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING.

Ive liked this movie since the first time i saw it. Now, it took me a couple times before i got it, but that made it even better. Its creepy, spooky good. Its that waiting for the next moment to come and make you think it out kinda flick. Even if you never get it, its still a great flick
Not kiddie freindly

DVD is in excellent condition, looking forward to buy more DVD from this person. I really loved the fact that it came in a nicely sealed container.

We lived near where this movie is supposed to have taken place. We wanted to own it for that reason. We have since moved from Ohio, which borders West Virginia. We wanted to take a little piece of home with us. :)

It is a spooky movie with out being too scary, nothing graffic.

Sound fluctuates badly during movie. At times you cannot hear the cast over music.. Good movie and story line.

a great price and fast shiping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!overall a great buy i look forword to doing buisness with tou again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live fairly close to west virginia and this movie reminds me of my area . good movie and strange happenings close to home . thanks

The Mothman Prophecies was hot!!!! I love this movie, its creepy because it is based of real events which is the scariest part of it all. If you like the supernatural type movies then this is a jaw-dropping movie.

Bought dvd for g/f whom had never seen it; great suspense; Richard Gere cast very well as Washington Post reporter who is unwillingly involved in the story. She liked it alot, so that is why I gave it "excellent " rating. Suspense without all the gore of a horror film. Based on a true story.

Loved the fast delivery and accurate description of the item. I will definitely go to this seller first for all of my DVD purchases in the future!

good thanks.......................................................................................................great movie

Good video. I know it wasn't filmed in the factual town where the events happened (West Virginia). It was filmed up in Pennsylvania. Good acting and lots of suspence.

THE REASON I GOT IT I LIVE SBOUT FIFTY MILES FROM WHERE IT TOOK PLACE
I LIKE IT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES
MY DAD WAS A BRIDGE INSPECTOR FOR ODT AND HAD WRITTEN THAT BRIDGE UP
SIX MOS BEFORE IT HAPPENED

This is a movie DVD in the original package and is near mint in condition. I have not seen the whole movie, the story was a fore runner to the Silver Bridge tragedy after the sightings and that interests me. It was offered at a terrific price and I am happy to have it.

I had planned to write a review but bops_mom captured it very well. Like her I am not a Gere fan but he did well. Similar type of character as in "Shall we Dance." The story will keep your attention and if not Linney will. She's HOT as usual. Not really too scarry but entertaining. Bop thought it was great...I'd leave it as entertaining...don't pitch "The Exorcist" just yet!

I had heard so much about this movie from friends and had to get it. SO GLAD I DID!!! It is GREAT!!! Debra
