Editorial Reviews

November 15th 1966, four young adults traveling through the West Virginia backwoods of an abandoned TNT Plant, come across something, unnatural... The headlights from their '57 Chevy strike what appears to be a black, lurking, lumbering, 7 foot tall man with red eyes and wings! Before the winged man of Point Pleasant would make his departure from its menacing raid on the God fearing souls of this minute church going community, 46 people would die tragically and hundreds more would be left traumatized and emotionally scarred for life. With rumors adrift of a haunting Indian curse, wild stories of men in black, bridge collapses, and a history of uncanny coincidences, UFO sightings, and even alien abductions; The Eyes of the Mothman is the first feature length documentary to delve deeper than any other program to uncover the truth behind this unsolved mystery from 43 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars An In Depth Look at Point Pleasant...and Mothman! March 22, 2011

By TrailsEndWild VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

From the opening scene, it is obvious that Eyes of the Mothman is not your typical cryptozoological film. This is not a movie designed to hype a phenomena or create a false sense of intensity by exaggerating evidence. Eyes of the Mothman plays out as a clear, concise, and accurate history of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. In addition, the films shows how the legend of the Mothman plays into that history. With concrete chronology, the film takes the viewer from the Battle of Point Pleasant and the betrayal of Chief Cornstalk all the way through to modern times. The viewer is exposed to a rare, complete picture of the area and how the different legends surrounding Point Pleasant weave together. The film covers the contamination of the area throughout WWII as the famous TNT area became a hub of weapons manufacture and then was seemingly abandoned to decay. The filmmakers interview scientists, residents, researchers, enthusiasts, and witnesses to form the most accurate portrait of the Mothman phenomena. Intertwined with this phenomena are ancient curses, UFO sightings, and a bizarre string of "coincidence." The documentary presents numerous possible explanations while allowing the viewer to draw heir own conclusion. At a little over 2 hours, this is no short film. Nothing is rushed and each topic is given an appropriate amount of time for discussion. This is a must see film for anyone interested in cryptozoology and the Mothman phenomena in particular. The film is written and directed by Matthew J. Pellowski and was released by Red Line Studios.

3.0 out of 5 stars INTERESTING AND RATHER WELL MADE February 15, 2011

By Robin Simmons VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

This rather interesting and well-made documentary on the ironically named town of Pt Pleasant takes a long look at it's strange history and the weirdness of activities the residents seem to have encountered. From the shame of a native American murder (Chief Cornstalk), the visitations of a huge, demonic, winged, red-eyed creature to the sudden collapse of the "Silver Bridge" that killed almost 50 people. The title of the film is probably a marketing choice as is the cover, it's really the great irony of "Return to Pt Pleasant." Not sure what the previous post about Ivanka Trump stalker is referring to but it would only add to the dark mythic ambiance of the whole enterprise and of course the place itself.

At first, I thought this is a very long (two hours and 35 minutes!) documentary that could benefit from some serious editing, but after a while I began to appreciate the extended nature of all the interviews and historical back story. I have not seen the 2nd Disc of bonus material yet, but if the real story behind "The Mothman" is of any interest, here's a look at the people, the place and the legend. Something weird happened there and there are rational, normal, God-fearing people that still remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked this DVD documentary April 21, 2011

By Ronald R Dolly

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I liked this DVD much better than the movie Mothman Prophecies because it's videotaped in the actual area in which all of this story took place and I also lived in Pt Pleasant in the early 1960's. My parents use to take my sister and I fishing at the TNT area as it was called, this was before the sightings began. The Silver Bridge we crossed it many times the last time being on Tuesday night Dec.12,1967 to get a Christmas tree across the river in Ohio and it collapsed on Friday Dec. 15,1967 during rush hour traffic in which 46 people lost their lives! So thats why this video documentary is special to me.
