Mothman Prophecies (2002)

Meh.

M-E-H, meh. This movie was mostly just boring. I mean, the idea was kinda cool, I guess. Some weird moth-being that would zap your eyes if you saw him, and tell you secrets from the future, secrets you could doing nothing about... or maybe he would lure you away to another city to get a call from your dead wife, and try to keep you from saving your new potential love, even though she already had a dream-vision from the moth of her rescue.

Are you confused yet? I was, and I don't get confused easy. Well, to be fair, I wasn't confused, I just didn't understand why, and the "why" is what drives me. I dont need to understand everything perfectly, but I do want the pieces to fall into place. I need everything in the story to count for something, and when the final picture is revealed, I want to go "A-ha! That is what that was about." And if there is a piece left-over, I want it to feel like a teaser from the creators. Something to make me think, ponder, or speculate.

This movie just didn't do it for me. Maybe my second time watching it made the overall affect more boring, because I knew the story wouldn't really go anywhere. Maybe I had been watching Sixth Sense, and this movie could just not stand up. Or maybe this is just a blah movie. Not great cinematography, storytelling, dialog, acting, editing, or really anything. None of it was really bad, but none of it was really good.

So, not really scary, but not really anything at all. Meh.
