Review of The Mothman of Point Pleasant

This was a documentary that I decided to check out at work. The reason was that this is listed as also being in horror. Also, I've seen a good number of co-writer/director Seth Breedlove and his production company of Small Town Monsters. To add to it as well, I have family from West Virginia. My father was on the Silver Bridge when he was younger. They've also been to Point Pleasant and to the museum there.What I like about Breedlove's documentaries is that he just reports the stories that people relay. I do appreciate that he's not trying to influence the viewer, outside of just making these documentaries. This interviews people or their relatives to share the stories of people who encounter this Mothman. What is also intriguing, having seen The Mothman Prophecies, is getting the story of Idris Cold. People also saw strange lights and talked to 'men in black'. How much of this is connected to this cryptid? We may never know. These last ones definitely could be government related though.I'll say that this is one of the earlier Breedlove docs and it's good to see this was well-made. The technology for doing re-enactments isn't as good. There is still charm here. I do love that he does what he can instead of just seeing these people who are interviewed. He tries to bring to life what they're saying to add excitement. This looks like his 3rd documentary that he made chronologically and it still looks good. The professional was there even early into making these.I will then just end this out by saying that if you're interested in the Mothman of Point Pleasant, this is a good one to start with. We are getting less investigation into it and more just presenting facts as well as retelling stories. I do think this would be a good companion to ones that probably go more in-depth for sure.My Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

The Mothman of Point Pleasant: Pitiful NEED to believe

PlotLearn 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.CastMade by Seth Breedlove, a man with a penchant for the absurd. From Mothman, to Aliens to Sasquatch he's done a documentary for each.VerdictThe Mothman of Point Pleasant is the same as it's sequel The Mothman Prophecy (2020) as if one of these wasn't enough. Namely it's full of interviews with people who claim to have seen "Something", a lot of speculation, a history lesson and some credits.You see the moment this "Documentary" began I was hit with an advert. No, I mean there's actually an advert as part of the documentary instantly after the credits. Bad start! Never seen something so absurdly unprofessional.And then it begins and it's everything you'd expect from a documentary about something wholly fictional. Local yokels ranting about what they saw but never caught it on camera, local "Experts" who also can't provide anything but alleged background and references to Hollywood movies that feature this fictional creature.Seriously, do you not have anything better to do?RantsThe Mothman doesn't exist Ghosts aren't a thing Sasquatch is fictional Aliens aren't probing buttsDo I need to continue? Grow up and engage with reality.BreakdownFascinating creature Boring Accomplishes nothing Fiction dressed as fact.
