Eventually, they find a house they can lock themselves into, but with the <i>Mothman</i> being very probably a superhuman being, what good are locks and bolts?<p> <p>Filmed almost entirely in found footage first person style, you are of course treated to a lot of clichés that come with the genre, from shaky camerawork to lo-fi scares to real-time build-up of tension, and while <b>Moth</b> might take its time to kick into gear at first, once it gets to the really scary parts, it indeed manages to shock and use the limitations that come with its approach to its full advantage ... and to call the ending (which I won't give away, sorry) anything other than truly inspired would be a big lie.<p>Totally worth a watch, even if you're not too big a fan of found footage movies! <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2016"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
