The Mothman Prophecies

Gere does a great deal...

Gere and Linney have some nice scenes together. I like the way he takes a beat of indecision before propelling himself into an action.

...as kooky and overeager as it is spooky and subtly in love with myth.

There are a number of moments when the film could easily fall into standard horror or psycho thriller fare, but Pellington shows restraint and admirable resistance to generic clichés.
