Mothman

Because of the accepted and expected lower production quality of found footage movies, there has been a massive wave of these in the last 10 years. While it may be simpler to film than a traditional movie, few of them ever put the still required effort and imagination into the script, characters, plot, etc. This is not one of those movies. Mothman is a slow burn, yes, but with a payoff and some genuinely creepy sequences along the way and mysteries to be solved.

I'm a sucker for cryptoids anyway. I'm happy this one played with the mothman mythos and expanded on it in a way that felt original. And thankfully there is much more here than young adults running around in the dark woods for 90 minutes without seeing anything until the final frames.
