The Mothman Prophecies (2002) - Friday The 13th - 12-19-2009
John Klein is involved in a car accident with his wife, but while he is unharmed, his wife mentions a moth shaped creature appearing. After her death, John begins to investigate the secrets behind this mentioned Mothman. It takes him to a small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where he discovers a connection with the same problem. Here he meets Connie Mills, whilst he continues to unravel the mystery of what the Mothman really is.
When John Klein, a Washington Post journalist, and his wife Mary finally find the house of their dreams, they just can't believe their luck. On the way back from the bargain, Mary nearly runs over a caped, winged figure, jerks the wheel and skids into the sidewalk. She hits her head badly, and dies in the hospital a little later. John, completely devastated, soon finds some sketches his wife made after the accident. They all show a winged creature, yet there is no angel resemblance at all. Two years later, John all of a sudden finds himself one night in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He has no idea how he has journeyed the 400 miles in less than two hours. In the small town, local cop Connie struggles with many sightings of a mothlike creature taller than a man being reported, while John believes that an explanation for his wife's fate can be found. The deeper John digs, the clearer the mothman's purpose arises - only to leave his life in immediate danger, as it seems.

A lot of people didn't like this movie but I found this movie very tense and it has such a cold tone to it. It's quit creepy and pretty atmospheric but there is room for improvement. I loved the idea of taking such a scary myth and turning it into a pretty decent thriller.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but if I remember correctly I wasn't very impressed. Maybe once I watch it again I can make a more valid post.

I thought the movie was very depressing. The actual book by John Keel that was based on the real events in Point Pleasant, WWVA was chilling-there were so many strange things going on in that town, not just sightings of the creature.
The movie just didnt begin to bring that to life-not that it didnt have any scary moments-just not enough
