Psychological thriller may deeply upset some kids.

A sub-par, often lethargic take on a a creepy urban legend with absolutely nothing to offer its audience.

Despite hints that it aspires to be more, The Mothman Prophecies is a by-the-numbers sci-fi thriller.

The last reel or so is an embarrassment -- or entertainment at long last, depending on how you look at it.

Faced with such an unlikely mishmash of unexplainable events, you've given up believing anything by the time the popcorn's gone.

Messy but eerie.

This is the scariest movie I've ever seen.

The stylish bleakness keeps you off-balance with unreliable narration and an unforgettable conclusion. The more it accelerates rant-and-rave paranoia, the greater it gets - a campfire-ready chiller whose subconscious embers glow long after it's over.

A gaudy yet grim science-fiction horror movie of such surpassing silliness, humorless intensity and stylistic overkill that watching it may actually put you in a state of paranoia. Why are these moviemakers persecuting us?

Director Mark Pellington hardly lets a moment pass without suggesting some bad vibes creeping onto the edges of the screen, but he's let down by Richard Hatem's script.

Pellington knows, as did the 1940s master of horror Val Lewton, that what you don't see can raise far more goose bumps than what you do.

There are certainly strong moments and efficient set pieces here, too, but for all the claims that the film, adapted from a 1975 book by John Keel, is based on real events, Pellington fails to sustain credibility.
