Continuity: When the car hits the boy on the bicycle, he rebounds off the windshield and rolls down the hood and off the front of the car. When everyone exits the car, the boy is lying on the ground behind it, rather than in front.

(F)lame can't kill this one...

Have you ever seen a moth? Did it look frightening to you? If yes then this movie will scare you pretty well, but if not...you'll feel like watching an apple rot. Acting is mostly decent, but I must say the script is below average, and somewhat too predictable. I wished Mothman to eat all the people responsible for their bad actions, because this thing has a justice written all over its crappy wings. Didn't get to see that I'm afraid, but I got to see people trying to kill it with guns, West Virginia hill-billy TM, without success of course. Mothman quickly kills off characters who happen to have 10 lines of text to say. Mothman looks like he's the cousin of the Scream Mask, but with glowing red eyes from the pot he and his designer/inventor smoked. Girl protagonist is annoyingly talking with her natural high pitched voice that would scare the real thing. Seriously, few actors are good at giving their best, but the main character hasn't got anything else to show for. Not even cleavage.

Mothman didn't feel scary, but his death did...great way of copying "Blade", "Buffy the Vampire"...etc.
