The Mothman of Point Pleasant (2017)

The Mothman of Point Pleasant: Directed by Seth Breedlove. With Mothman, Denny Bellamy, Marcella Bennett, Lyle Blackburn. Learn the terrifying, true story about thirteen months that changed history! In November of 1966 a car full of kids encountered a creature unlike anything they’d ever seen before. In the weeks and months to follow, the monster (now known as The Mothman) was sighted again and again on country roads and around the state of West Virginia.

“If you are the sort of person who believes that various cryptozoological creatures exist, such as Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster, then u0026quot;The Mothman of Point Pleasantu0026quot; will be a very different experience compared to that of a skeptic, like me. So, as you read my review, please keep this in mind…I already had a mindset that the whole thing is a hoax. I remember various stories in the Washington, DC area as I grew up in the 1960s of similar stories, such as the Bunnyman, UFOs and the Goatman. It was a popular period for cryptids.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is a historical documentary about the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia and their Mothman story. Using a creepy-voiced narrator and equally creepy music and sound effects, the story interviews many locals as well as showing film clips and photos all related to the Mothman. Whether you believe all this or not, the quality of the production is quite good…better than I would have expected for such a topic. And, it didnu0026#39;t draw a lot of conclusions and just let folks talk…which was an excellent decision.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the way, today the town of Point Pleasant embraces the whole Mothman story. In September, they have a Mothman Festival–complete with costumes, rides and a parade. They also erected a Mothman statue some time ago!”
