Zoooma Basically this is really bad. No one needs to see this. Unless you are in love with Jewel Staite. Who? My thoughts exactly. But she's pretty and a pleasure to look at... and there are girls in bikinis in the first 10 minutes. There is one very brief scary part (about two seconds worth) and one almost scary part (about half a second) and that's about it... truly next to zero creepy factor, lame CGI and mediocre acting. Bottomline: this movie sucks. I know I should stay away from Made-for-Syfy Channel TV movies but they call to me every now and then so I can see what a truly crappy movie is.3.2 / 10 stars--Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener

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.

Film Watchin Fool Watch this if...you are someone who has nothing better to do on a slow afternoon or evening and don't mind a cheesy horror flick.Acting/Casting: 2.5* - I would say it doesn't get much worse than this, but I have seen worse. It is obvious throughout that almost all involved are indeed acting. I always say good acting isn't noticeable because it shouldn't be obvious. The one decent performance goes to Jerry Leggio as Frank, who I thought did a nice job for what he had to work with in this movie.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 3* - The first 15 minutes really grab your attention and pull you in. From there it is all downhill and the movie gets progressively worse as it plays out. If they would have ended the movie 20 minutes earlier, I think this would have made the movie drastically better. The Mothman is computer generated and would have been better off not being as prominent throughout the film. Good scary movies leave a lot to the imagination and this one does not.Plot/Characters: 3* - Outside of the fact that it revolves around the story of the Mothman, there really isn't much to say here. It takes the already established story of the Mothman and runs away with it adding twist and turns throughout. The problem is that the twist and turns really take away from the Mothman plot and make this into a second rate horror film.Entertainment Value: 3* - As I mentioned, the first 15 minutes got my attention. After that I watched because it was marginally entertaining, but it almost gets to the point where you want to change the channel or turn it off. If I am lucky, I will not be watching this again.My Score: 2.5+3+3+3 = 11.5/4 = 2.9Email your thoughts to filmwatchinfool@gmail.com

Paul Andrews Mothman starts in the small Virginian town of Point Pleasant where a group of teenage friends are enjoying a night out in the local woods, unfortunately Jared's (Michael Aills) annoying little brother Jamie (Alex Hardee) has gatecrashed the party much to everyone else's irritation. Jared & his friends decide to teach Jamie a lesson & tell him the story about the local legend of the fearsome Mothman, then they all go swimming in the river & try to scare Jamie by pulling him under the water but the prank backfires & Jamie drown's. Jared & his friends decide to lie & say that Jamie banged his head & drowned not wanting to jeopardise their futures to which his friends agree. Ten years later & Washington journalist Katharine Grant (Jewel Staite) is told to return to her hometown of Point Pleasant to cover the annual Mothman festival, at first Katharine is reluctant but agrees. Once there Katherne meets up with Jared & the other's who lied about Jamie's death which brings back painful memories, then the friends start to get killed by the legendary Mothman as some form of supernatural justice...Directed by Sheldon Wilson & debuting on the Sy-Fy Channel during early 2010 this may sound like yet another terrible 'Craeture Feature' with some genetically enhanced/created or lost species of killer half Moth half man creature as the title would seem to suggest but it's more of a supernatural horror thriller with an incredibly silly central bogeyman type character who seems to be part man, part Moth & part ghost with bright red glowing eyes & Bat like wings. Mothman starts out like a blatant clone of I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) in which someone is killed in a reckless accident & those responsible cover it up for selfish reasons rather than risk going to jail, however instead of the expected teen slasher routine the local town legend of the Mothman dishes out some revenge against the perpetrator's during the annual Mothman festival. You see the Mothman is a local celebrity & has done this sort of thing before. The script is rather bland with forgettable character's, dull off screen kills & a striking inconsistency. I mean it's stated that the Mothman can only enter our world through reflective surfaces & that rule is adhered to until the last thirty minutes when the thing can just appear from anywhere (the incinerator at the old mine for instance). Then there's the rule that daylight repels it but again this rule is ditched as the Mothman is seen attacking a bridge in full daylight towards the end. Also I have to question some of the writing here, why would the one character who likes the Mothman & wants it to carry on it's revenge mission give potential victims the only thing that can kill it? It just seems counter productive if you know what I mean. What about Casey who is caught by the Mothman & flown away only to reappear a few minutes later alive & unharmed despite the Mothman killing everyone else straight away without mercy? No explanation is given as to how Casey survived, at all. I suppose Mothman is watchable in a silly horror thriller sort of way & at least it's not about a half Moth half man monster like the title suggests, at just over 80 minutes it's not too long & it moves along at a decent pace even if it's very lazily written with little explanation & apparent disregard for it's own rules, mythology & parameters.The film looks reasonable enough, it's got that made for television look I suppose but looks alright. The CGI computer effects work is predictably terrible, the Mothman creature looks stupid, it's like a beefy man with Bat wings & glowing red eyes with a black overall appearance. There's not much blood or gore, there are a few dead bodies & a bit of blood splatter at various death scenes but nothing that will shock anyone. There's not many scares as there's very little build-up to the attacks, the Mothman just appears & attacks & within a few seconds of bad CGI computer effects work it's over. Apparently Point Pleasant is a real town that really does have a Mothman legend, really does hold a Mothman festival & it even has a Mothman museum.The IMDb says Mothman had a budget of about $2,000,000 which I don't believe, there's no way this cost that much. The acting isn't great, the cast are the usual good looking type that sleepwalk through the roles. No-one of any note is featured.Mothman has an OK revenge thriller plot that mixes a silly supernatural ghost story into it, not the worst film ever to grace the Sy-Fy Channel but far from the best. A passable time waster at best & an absolute mess at worst.
