DustinRahksi 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.
TheLittleSongbird I admit that I do dislike most of the movies airing on the SyFy channel, but I watch them out of curiosity to get novelty value or to see if either of them are actually surprisingly watchable when there is nothing or little else on. Mothman as I've said is not SyFy's worst by a long shot, but it is not very good, as a matter of fact it is rather weak.The acting is better than anticipated though none are particularly great, but they are undermined by stock and stereotypical characters, a very rushed and underdeveloped story, a laughable script and when they seemingly realised that they only had twenty minutes left and had not finished telling the story the writers decided to include a twist. Unfortunately this twist is utterly moronic leading to one of the weakest endings I've seen in a while.In conclusion, not the worst but weak. 2/10 Bethany Cox
Neil Welch SyFy comes up with another monster movie, and what is it like? Well, in Jewel Staite it has a leading lady who has a small but passionate following from her career so far, some acting ability, and an engaging screen presence (it also has no-one else you have ever heard of or are ever going to hear of again).It has a CGI monster which is, surprisingly, a good deal less awful than you were expecting. And, when I say "you", I mean "I", of course. SyFy's record with CGI critters is not good, but many have been a great deal worse than this one.Where it falls down badly, though, is in the screenplay, which is poor. A good script can help a low budget movie overcome its lack of budget: a bad script means that a film stinks no matter how much money you throw at the production.Which is a pity, because this film could have been much better.
Buzi Fighter Have you ever seen a moth? Did it look frightening to you? If yes then this movie will scare you pretty well, but if not...you'll feel like watching an apple rot. Acting is mostly decent, but I must say the script is below average, and somewhat too predictable. I wished Mothman to eat all the people responsible for their bad actions, because this thing has a justice written all over its crappy wings. Didn't get to see that I'm afraid, but I got to see people trying to kill it with guns, West Virginia hill-billy TM, without success of course. Mothman quickly kills off characters who happen to have 10 lines of text to say. Mothman looks like he's the cousin of the Scream Mask, but with glowing red eyes from the pot he and his designer/inventor smoked. Girl protagonist is annoyingly talking with her natural high pitched voice that would scare the real thing. Seriously, few actors are good at giving their best, but the main character hasn't got anything else to show for. Not even cleavage.Mothman didn't feel scary, but his death did...great way of copying "Blade", "Buffy the Vampire"...etc.
