Moth

Positives: none

Negatives: the movie

I have seen movies made by high school kids that were better than this.

It falls into the "found footage" category, but I don't think it's appropriate, because if anyone had found this mess they would just toss it in the trash.

Found Footage is my favorite and I always love seeing what independent directors are able to accomplish with almost no budget. This had some interesting ideas and the twist is pretty unique! I can see what it was going for, but it just didn't work for me.

One reviewer stated that people missed the point and that this is actually a drama. Maybe so... But if so, its not a very good one. You know the type of person that thinks they are super deep, but gives you secondhand cringe all the time? This is the movie equivalent of that person. It thinks it has something really important to say, but really its pretty surface level and nothing you haven't read on some cheesy Facebook post by your best friends mom.

No scares, no entertainment value, and nothing new to say. Skip it.

This film just has no redeeming qualities. Moth, AKA the longest, most boring road trip you could ever take, is badly acted, boringly written and possibly with the least amount of chills per minute of film ever created. The lead actress has the personality and charisma of a dead fish and her male support is at least as bad. They spend so much time cramped together in the car or saying, "did you her dat?" or 'wat is dat?' that at no point are you ever invested in the characters or the story. The shaky camera is also bad, offputtingly so. The real problem here is just the lack of anything happening. It's a real 'student project' type of thing; minimum cast, people in the car and then the woods, just no. Sorry guys, it was just ghastly.

I feel I have to write my first review now! Honestly I don't get all bad reviews and those bunch of a-holes who watch and rate FF movies despite they hate these kind of movies.

Unfortunately many stupid people have seen and rated this movie describing it one of the worst and blah blah, while they didn't even notice this is NOT a horror movie, but rather a drama with FF and horror elements. Great atmosphere, great storytelling and one of the most surprising twists I've seen in an independent movie so far. A great (if not the best) addition to Wild Eye Releasing movies.

Not perfect for sure - I didn't like the main actress either, but a great film. And please stop bashing indie horror films and ff films. If you don't like them, choose something else.

Paint a wall, then watch it dry. It is more fun. Fast forward to the credits. Take a nap instead.
