Bad things just happen. We usually can’t stop them.
The Mothman Prophecies is a solid thriller. It’s supposedly based on true events, but even if it weren’t, it would be worth a look. Richard Gere stars as a Washington Post reporter who inexplicably finds himself in a small West Virginia town where a series of strange goings-on have been happening. His wife was killed two years prior in a mysterious car accident, and there seems to be a connection between her death and the strange happenings in Point Pleasant. Holding the key behind the mystery seems to be a large moth-like creature who tends to show up in places where the loss of human life is about to occur. Gere meets up with several locals who claim to have seen the Mothman, and after a while this creature begins communicating with him. The creature warns people of tragedies about to strike (plane crashes, earthquakes), and Gere thinks this creature can even put him in contact with his dead wife. Gere is given a warning about an upcoming tragedy near Point Pleasant, but can he act in time to stop it? Or should he even try? The film is very moody and sullen. The direction and photography are top drawer, and they enhance the mood greatly. The acting is terrific, as well. I usually can’t stand Gere, but he’s great in this film. Laura Linney would seem miscast as a local cop, but by the end of the film, she will have proved how truly talented she is. Will Patton is outstanding as a local resident who has several run-ins with the Mothman until it drives him crazy.

What exactly is the Mothman? According to this film, he’s some type of oracle. He can see bad things that will happen, and he can even see through to the other side. Does he cause these tragedies? The film would seem to argue not. Though he may have caused the fatal car accident that took Gere’s wife early on. Apparently the concept of the Mothman has been around for a while, but this film gives a pretty good explanation of it for those of us who had never heard of it before.

The film came up short of its $40 million budget in theaters. I blame this on a terrible marketing campaign, and some bad reviews from the big name critics. Don’t let their reviews scare you away. This film is very good. I was hooked after seeing only a couple minutes of it. It was the very effective scene where Gere and Patton first meet up at his home one evening. That was well done! Be warned, however. The film will likely leave you feeling very mortal, and maybe even depressed. There is a really cool new-age rock song during the credits that also adds to the mood.

Consider this film a thinking man’s Final Destination. The climactic scene at the end could have even wandered in from one of those movies. The Mothman Prophecies is worth about 8 of 10 stars.

The Hound.

Truly, truly awful beyond belief
Richard Gere plays a reporter for The Washington Post. He has a wife, a good job and a brand new house. Until his wife is hurt in a car accident very soon after buying their new house.

She dies just as quickly for no real reason apart from to isolate him and give him something supernatural to experience late in the movie.

The opening 20 minutes has nothing happen apart from the accident and his wife’s death, neither of these are truly vital to what little plot there actually is in the film so could have been cut and just referred to in dialogue or short flashbacks.

A lot of the film could quite easily be cut with little on no damage to the viewing experience (there isn’t very much to experience anyway, the film is far too long). the film takes itself far too seriously and it’s laughable claims of being based on reality are as about as real as The Blair Witch.

I could quite easily cut a whole hour from this film and make it far more watchable and still easy to understand.

Gere is not a likable character or at least doesn’t play that way for me. I had no sympathy for the loss of his wife (especially it goes she’s dead, it’s suddenly 2 years later and life’s all hunky dory). You need to be able to relate to his loss or feel it. I don’t, if they’d spent less time in scenes where hardly anything happens and perhaps shown a bit of what happened in his life during the 2 years where he was coming to terms with losing his wife I might have had a bit more sympathy for him.

Anyway he ends up in Point Pleasant, a nicely named town where folks see weird stuff and weird stuff happens. Most of the occurrences are too weird to be based on any kind of reality.

Gere gets sucked into the madness and descends into it himself almost to the point of losing his job and everything that matters to him.

The end of the film is it’s only redeeming moment with the bridge collapse and even then that is far too over done and takes (surprise, surprise) far too long for the event to take place. This should have been shot really quickly with barely any time to react to the event.

Gere’s reaction to dive into the river to try and save the female cop is insane (especially with all the electrical cables hanging into the water, the fast flowing current, how cold the water would be in December). With all the debris falling into the water the likelihood of one or both of them escaping her car and safely reaching the surface was very low indeed.

The ending is very weak indeed with them just saying they didn’t know why the bridge collapsed and no-one every saw the Mothman again.

Very poor indeed.
