I agree with everything you said! The movie conveys a lot of emotions, I think. The whole topic of the Mothman interests me along with the theories of how it might have came about. I, too, thought Richard Gere was good in this as, too, with Laura Linney's performance. The book was very entertaining.

I saw it but never read the book. The film alone creeped me out so much that I almost started believing in The Mothman.
Not to mention I received a map of West Virginia the morning after watching it -

I haven't read Lovecraft's Beyond the Wall of Sleep but I will just out of curiosity. That scene where he rang Richard Gere's character and told him that Indrid Cold was in the house with him!

I liked it. Richard Gere is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me- I think he's underrated, and I really enjoyed him in this mystery/thriller. Is it a horror I wonder? Maybe we should suggest it for
Sham's
ongoing genre game threads.
7/10 for me. -

Yeah, I like his movies. I do think he doesn't get enough praise. I haven't thought about it but I guess it does have characteristics of different genres - I think you could add drama in there too.

I also like cryptids and mysterious subject matter- Mothman, Jersey Devil, "Number Stations" (like in
Banshee Chapter
), Wendigo, Slender Man, Dog Man, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and such. I like the genre so much I even watch many crappy movies in it- so when I find a well made and well acted film about a "mystery creature" I'm sure to remember it fondly. -

Yeah, me too. I have shelves of books on all that stuff. I have seen my fair share of crappy movies in the genre, god knows I have, but I am always on the look out for some good ones.

I recommend Larry Fessenden's
Wendigo (2001)
http://www.imdb.com/board/10275067/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I'm a fan of his movies, which always feature realistic dialogue and good acting. He's also an actor himself- interesting man. -

I will give that a go, today. Speaking of Larry Fessenden, he was in a lot of great horror, like: We Are Still Here, I Sell the Dead, Session 9, Habit - to mention a few, along with other great non-horror outings. Cheers

I think you are right. I love those 90s urban based vampire films, like The Addiction (1995) and Nadja (1994). I strongly recommend you watch those if you haven't already - they are among my absolute favorite vampire films.

Love them both. It seems we have very similar taste in horror movies, which is very handy for giving each other recommendations! It was you who put me on to
Sole Survivor (1983)
, if you remember. What a fabulous movie that is- a real work of art. -

It is always nice to have shared tastes. I recommended you 'They have changed their face' and 'Demon' 1963 also - i think you liked them also.
