Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

lucfrlv I like this documentary because they cover more than just the Mothman and the town of Point Pleasant. They touch base on a lot of strange events that took place within that area of the country, all of which happened around the time of the Mothman sightings. Really opens your eyes to other events that weren't really talked about at the time, some very odd things happening all around there.

Thomas Aitken This VERY long documentary will probably hold appeal for conspiracy theorists, UFO buffs and anyone with a passion for the Mothman event, however, for anyone else it probably isn't going to be as appealing.It actually ends up being 4 mini documentaries rolled into one - first one is about the local Indian/colonial history; second is about the Mothman, third is about UFOs and men in black, and the fourth is about the collapse of the 'silver bridge'.It's kind of like a pot pourri of historical events and theories, etc, rather than actually being strictly a single documentary - as a result it doesn't really have a coherent narrative or flow, it just feels like several things all lumped together in the same film.Reasonably well produced (apart from some small annoying technical issues in places), but it just isn't a great or memorable documentary.

Cosmoeticadotcom Eyes Of The Mothman succeeds magnificently as a work of investigative reporting and a speculative docudrama. Prior to this film, the most interesting take on the whole Mothman mythos was by the late psi writer, John Keel, whose book, The Mothman Prophecies, was the basis for the Gere film. But this film is far more detailed and comprehensive, and roundly debunks some of the longstanding claims made in Keel's book, as Keel was seemingly hoaxed on multiple occasions, and his book riddled with other inconsistencies. This film will likely become the definitive resource on the Mothman legend for the foreseeable future, for it does not condescend, claim to know what was real and what was not, and has no agenda- political, spiritual, philosophic, nor otherwise: it does not push the psi aspects of the legendry, nor does it ignore them. This is, easily, the finest piece of journalism I have ever read or seen, as it pertains to things deemed paranormal, for it eschews the classic Von Danikenism of earlier psi documentaries, and focuses on history, people, and how they were affected by the oddities, rather than just focusing on the oddities. In this way, Eyes Of The Mothman is not only a great documentary film, but an innovative one. Let's hope its style and execution are embraced, whether or not you believe in the Mothman and company.

Gavin Salkeld As someone with a heavy interest in the Mothman phenomenon, and a champion of the film "The Mothman Prophecies", I was intrigued to come across this weighty (two-hour plus) documentary on the relatively little-known phenomenon, the Mothman.The opening back story that makes up the beginning of the film really helps give the Mothman story context, and although you have to sit with it for a little longer than you may want to, it nevertheless is an interesting introduction to the history of Point Pleasant.Overall, the visuals are really nice -- with some clever effects and reconstructions to boot -- and to see eye-witness accounts firsthand was what really made the documentary good. To hear about events from officials, scientists and authority figures is fair enough, but to get to hear the actual witnesses speak was great.The narrator's voice is well suited to the material and none of the reconstructions or effects are cheap, intrusive or cheesy. The subject matter is treated completely with the respect and seriousness it deserves.I highly recommend prospective viewers of "Eyes of the Mothman" track down John Keel's compelling non-fiction book, The Mothman Prophecies, and read it before seeing this. The movie of the same name is also worth seeing, but I think you should see it before you read the book. The book will expand upon the movie, if you enjoyed it, and finishing off with this throughly interesting and insightful film won't leave you disappointed."Eyes of the Mothman" is a little long, but its worth sitting through. Well-made, beautifully put together, and really entertaining.
