Mothman (2022)
Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Mothman, a new found footage movie that can be watched on Tubi, was not quite what I expected, and I'm still not sure if I like or dislike it. It's clear the filmmaker knows his Mothman lore, as it definitely includes aspects and minor details that I was not expecting, and as a fan of the legend I really appreciated that.
However, it can be a real slog to get through as the majority of the movie is just random interviews with people about their friend/family member that went missing, and the police investigation into it. The parts that DO focus on the actual Mothman lore was pretty good though, and did genuinely get creepy at times by the end (when the creepiness wasn't ruined anyway, like the scene with Indrid Cold, hiding his face, only to reveal it a min later and it not be nearly as creepy as what you were imagining in your head). The acting was also surprisingly great here, and I think the biggest surprise of the movie was just how good that acting was for a project like this.
This movie was less creature feature than I was expecting, and more psychological dread, which was a unique angle to take for found footage, and I'm not sure it was executed well, but I do like what they were attempting, and that angle does fit the Mothman mythos more than a creature feature would, so... yeah, I really can't decide if I like this or not, lol.
Terror at Black Tree Forest (2021)
Trasharts creates a Hollyoaks themed horror
Sam Mason-Bell's "Terror at Black Tree Forest" focuses on a group of friends that hang out in the woods, smoke weed and tell stories, one in particular is a legend that goes on in the very same woods that they're in. This is an upgraded remake or reboot (whatever) of Dustin Ferguson's original movie. A definite upgrade! This retelling is very long and you will feel that all way through. It didn't need to be an hour and 13 minutes. Could've easily been 20 minutes or half an hour if most. I actually thought I was watching a two hour film. I am however impressed with the lighting that was done for this. It must've been hard to create lighting around the forest at nighttime.
