2002: The Mothman Prophecies

Basically, what happens in this film is that Richard Gere talks on the phone to an omnisicient moth that's up to no good. The movie doesn't seem as stupid as that sounds; rather, it's a decent thriller of the supernatural using standard noughties mainstream film aesthetics. The disappointing ending is less disappointing for it disappointingness being visible from half an hour away. Still a 6 overall, though.

If this film had been more successful, maybe we could have hoped for Mothman vs. Kraken, à la Alien vs. Predator. Alas, it's not to be.
