Everyone all over the world has legendary monsters that are told to each generations. Mexico has the chupacabra, the Tibetans have the abominable snowman. And the USA has the beast of Bray Road and now the Mothman.

"The Mothman Prophecies" is the modern reworking of the events that happened in Point Pleasant, West Virgina in 1967. Those occurrences have been moved up to 2002 to be told with a modern twist and I'm here to tell you that it worked. "The Mothman Prophecies" is eerie, smart, extremely complex, dark and mysterious. This film will have you hooked form the horrific and mysterious beginning till the shocking and even more mysterious end and it won't stop throwing thrills and chills at you until the credits rolls.

Richard Gere gives an extremely disturb and emotional performance as the reporter trying to piece together the event's of The Mothman. Gere's performance is extremely key to keeping this film from falling apart, he's the glue that keeps everything together and is also the engine of the film he keeps it running even when it should stall out and die. Will Paton's is equally as good as Gere with his mysterious and disturb performance as Gordon Smallwood. Patton is as much a key player in this films story as Gere, Patton even more so. Patton is much more apart of the story then the events taking place and he helps keep it interesting as Much as Gere does. The cast is phenomenal and does there best to keep this supernatural thriller afloat and instead they make it soar to new heights.

"The Mothman Prophecies" is eerily suspenseful and shockingly real in it's portrayal of the events that took place in Point Pleasant. And will keep you guessing if what is happening is real or all in Richard Gere's head. All in all "The Mothman Prophecies" is a supernatural mystery you'll want to expose.
