I found the movie (2002) scarier than the book, but it's still creepy enough, and it's slowly dragging you into a world where consensus reality is gradually replaced by a grim place where we all can become victims to the forces who act behind the guise of the UFO phenomena (according to Keels hypothesis) and be dragged into a nightmare world. Let us look at these two aspects of this story:EntertainmentThe Mothman Prophecies is excellent thrilling entertainment. Some readers will find this provoking - I found it refreshing and understandable as I devoured this creepy, entertaining and very interesting book. This contempt colors the text with an arrogance toward all who are against him - including various UFO investigators. When writing the Mothman prophecies, John Keel was definitely scared and he handled the fear with anger and contempt for the 'enemy'.
