Pellington knows, as did the 1940s master of horror Val Lewton, that what you don't see can raise far more goose bumps than what you do.

This is the scariest movie I've ever seen.
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Director Mark Pellington hardly lets a moment pass without suggesting some bad vibes creeping onto the edges of the screen, but he's let down by Richard Hatem's script.
Robert Koehler, Variety
Rotten
There are certainly strong moments and efficient set pieces here, too, but for all the claims that the film, adapted from a 1975 book by John Keel, is based on real events, Pellington fails to sustain credibility.
Wally Hammond, Time Out
Rotten
Despite hints that it aspires to be more, The Mothman Prophecies is a by-the-numbers sci-fi thriller.
