Mothman Prophecies
We finally got around to watching this on video – especially since Eddie had read the book by John Keel. Here’s an apt review that compares the film with the book – Hollywood Vs.The Moth
In this eerie supernatural thriller, the title character literally phones in his performance – as a disembodied electronic voice calling Richard Gere and the rest of the cast at inconvenient hours. In the few instances when we’re afforded an onscreen sighting of the creature, it’s a fleeting apparition, the film equivalent of a Rorschach blotch.
As Eddie says: “Less Prophecies! More MOTHMAN!”
