Moth Movie Reviews

Awful, but with a Good Plot Point

“Moth” is another garbage made in the terrible genre called “found footage”, a crappy means to make cheap and worthless films. The storyline is too short and full of clichés (a professor invites one student to travel with her to the countryside of Hungary to investigate sighting reports of a creature and they are stranded in the creepy wood); therefore, the screenplay is boring and annoying to complete 81 minutes running time. The amateurish acting shows a histrionic lead actress and her voice is so emotionless and strange that seems to be dubbed; and the lead actor is a weird guy. Cinematography, lightning, art and set decoration do not exist and are improvised and amateurish only. The surprising and unexpected plot point is wasted in a very bad movie. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I saw it

Thora (Lídia Szabó ) is an instructor in London. She has been following incidents of Moth Man destruction throughout history. There is an appearance of the Moth reported in Hungary. She requests volunteers to go and film the creature. Only Adam (József Gallai) volunteers to be part of a very boring found footage film. They travel together on the back roads of Hungary doing the “what is it?” cam from inside a tent. We get to discover the mother issues our two adventurers reveal, very boring stuff. We hear the moth, but don’t get to see it. This is a very non-entertaining found footage film, reminiscent of the ones where they go look for Bigfoot. It is for the most part a lone star film.

I really liked the ending. Too bad the rest of the feature lacked entertainment value.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Filmed on location.

Equipped with a shaky camera and a non-existing storyline. Not the greatest of combos…

Sometimes you just got to stop and heed the warning signs found listed for certain movies here on IMDb. I opted to ignore them and decided to sit down to watch “Moth” because the concept sounded alright and the cover for the movie seemed interesting.

However, this 2016 movie turned out to be an ordeal of a movie to sit through. Why? Well, because it is incredibly slow paced, and also because the character gallery in the movie is very flaccid and quite far from being interesting in any way. The characters are one-dimensional and doesn’t hold much of anything to make you take a liking to them.

The dialogue in the movie didn’t really do much to help the pacing of the movie, nor did it do anything to promote the characters. The writing of the dialogue was uninspiring and the delivery of the dialogue by the cast was monotonous and was a bit difficult to take serious.

“Moth” is the type of movie where you sit and watch it as you think ‘I could just as easily have filmed that myself’. The camera is all over the place, and it feels like a home-made movie in every aspect. This particular style of movie presentation is one that I am not very fond of.

The movie runs with a minimalist cast, which means that there is some expectancy riding on the shoulders of those performing in the movie. And when the cast fails to deliver anything worthwhile, the entire movie just comes tumbling down hard.

And it doesn’t really work well in favor of the movie that there is so little happening throughout the course of the entire movie that you will be a great risk of actually hearing your own snoring as the movie trots on at a snail speed pace.

So do take heed of the warning signs and flashing symbols that scream at you not to waste your time, money and effort on movies such as this. Some of us failed to heed the warning and find ourselves with time taken away from us that we will never get back, and got nothing in return for this trade off in terms of enjoyment of a fulfilling movie.

“Moth” scores a meager 2 out of 10 stars from me. And this is without a doubt a movie that I will never return to a second time.
