Where do I even begin, I should have wrote down all of my complaints, now I have to remember all of them. Netflix is the king of crappy horror films, you can watch them all and not have to pay for their suck-age. This film is awful, it's TV movie bad, oh wait.So it starts off with some dumb-ass kids doing what they do best. The guys are douche-bags and the women are.... just there. So then the "dudes" start bullying some guys brother and eventually kill him. This is where the similarities with other horror films come into play. The "dude" leader makes a plan to get their worthless redneck lives out of hot water. Lets make it an accident, so lets all cave the dead brothers head in, yeah that will look like an accident. And the funny part is, the dead guys older brother just goes along with it, wow I wish he was my brother, get piccolo. The girl with the weird eyes from firefly is now our main character.What follows is an atrocious waste of an hour and 20 minutes. The plot is inconsistent, the characters can't act. The cgi moth-man looks like crap. It lacks any suspense or mystery, or even scares. I could easily remake this into a much better film, because I or any true horror fan knows what to do and how to do it. There are plenty of stupid things that don't make sense. Like how did that guy with the shotgun survive when we can clearly hear him being ripped apart. Or how the hell did Katherine and that guy get out of the cage, they could just lift it up, so stupid. And why did the moth-man attack some random lady on the Farris wheel, I thought he only killed murderers. Technically the moth-man is the hero, he delivers justice when no one else cared to.Anyway, this film sucked. Even if you like bad movies, I don't recommend it.

I really had my doubts to pick this one up and I did it a few times, now that I watched it I had hoped that I left it on the shelves. The story you have seen a thousand times before. Legends coming alive. It starts rather okay by the way that a prank goes wrong. All friends promise that they will never tell the truth about what happened. Naturally they forgot that a urban legend can come alive and is seeking revenge. Sadly, it only appears in reflections and it did in full stupid looking CGI. The mothman goes after all the friends and once he can fly it all looked like Jeepers Creepers (2001). But it all looked really ridiculous. Nevertheless, the director Sheldon Wilson did knew his stuff by directing already a few horrors like Kaw (2007) and Screamers (2009). But this flick failed completely. I can only speak for myself but Jewel Staite couldn't convince me. But she can act as seen in Serenity (2005).It never becomes creepy or scary or bloody at all. The poking of the eyes didn't work and scene's with the knife also looked cheaply done. The end was predictable. Ideal for teenagers but not for the horror buffs among us.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

The film has a brief moment of promise, introducing a fair premise. Some teens accidentally cause a child's death, and conspire to cover up their dark secret. These guys live in Point Pleasant, WV, home of you-know-who. So the monster will dole out punishment? The wheels come off quickly. Fast forward several years. A big city reporter, one of the teens visits town, and she is immediately invited to toast the kid she once helped kill (a reunion of all the killers). What? Toast somebody you killed? No comment is possible for such a ludicrous plot device. So let's just pretend the movie didn't do this, and move on.Enter the stock village idiot. This was the best character, and decently acted (cliches and all). It was cool to listen to his insane ramblings explaining the creature's motives, its weird red eyes, its obsession with mirrors, and his own back story. Best of all was his habit of often firing a shot gun, especially since this guy was blind. Pop quiz: when learning your presence in a town is causing the deaths, does she: A) Leave town, or B) Stay and fight? Take a wild guess. Using guns. Always works against legendary monsters, right? But the last 20 minutes are beyond moronic. It's as if the original running time was too short, so a lame "twist" was hastily inserted to explain the profoundly stupid new ending they tacked on. A new director was found at the local pre-school playground, to shot the extra footage. "We thought you were dead!" "Yeah, so did I." Who wrote this, and have they been committed yet? The Mothman already has more than a few skeptics on whether it exists or not. This movie won't help his status much.

'Mothman' was yet another miserable 'original' film that SyFy decided to torture viewers with. Who at the SyFy Network is drinking the wrong Kool-Aid? They need to hire knowledgeable and intelligent decision makers when it comes to their line-up and production processes. The only thing redeemable about 'Mothman' is that the acting is above average for SyFy original features. The cast did a pretty good job with such a crazy, undeveloped storyline and script. The special effects were really pitiful - worse than the old dinosaur flicks from the 50's and 60's. With today's technology, someone with creativity and skill could have created much better effects with home computer equipment. I believe that any movie worth making is worth making right - as right as possible anyway. This starts with the writers of course. A solid plot, storyline and dialog really are the most important - special effects can enhance or destroy a film as well. Continuity is a major element in both, in order to eliminate possible holes and aid in believability. I guess the production company didn't have anyone who could provide continuity for the script or work-flow during filming and editing. Oh well. And why the heck did 'SciFi' change their name to 'SyFy'? Ridiculous!
