There isn't one original SyFy movie that I can remember, yet recommend. Okay, here is what I grew up watching. ABC wasn't trying to be a SF&F channel, yet they filmed some of the classic SF&F movies. SyFy on the other hand, can't hit the broad side of a barn.

How many “original” syfy movies have been good? None that I know of….so, did anyone expect it to be? ‘Cuz I know I didn’t….especially ones involving cryptids…..because they never have anything to do with cryptozoology….

If only FOX had not cancelled Firefly and forced Jewel Staite to do this movie I’d have those two hours back. SyFy has once again made a lame attempt at putting on a Saturday night movie worth the time it takes to read the opening credits.

The previews were enough to make me want to stay far, far away.

i watched the movie and was very upset that they made moth-man an evil spirit
they even had the Indian cornstalk in it as he summoned the evil moth-man
wow this was even worse then beyond loch ness
at least beyond was corny
this was worse
even carny (syfy new jersey devi movie) was better then both of them
but they (syfy) are making movies about cryptids and making them evil
the only saving graces for syfy is destination truth, ghost hunters, sanctuary (which does have a Bigfoot in it as an assistant to the doctor and a merbeing in a tank) and warehouse 13.

If anyone's interested, here is the IMDB page for the movie. I chuckled at the title of the featured review, "This mothman should stick to eating old clothes".

I also watched up until a little after the boy was killed then turned it off and rewatched Search for the Mothman.

Honestly, I don’t even know why the call that channel Syfy any more. It’s crappy Z-grade horror movies every Saturday. Not much actual science fiction, save for the stargate franchise which the network will not let die.

I saw the whole movie, and it wasn’t as good as I expected. First of all, it was too fictional. Plus, they are attempting to turn a good-spirited cryptid into a villain not-so-scary horror movie. I don’t like how they made the mothman so evil, yet in real life, I think of him as a protagonist because he warns people of upcoming tragedies, not cause them like in the movie. Still, it was a good story, but not if you really want true information about the mothman.
By the way, the boy who dies in the beginning does tie in with the rest of the movie.

I stopped watching during the first five to ten minutes due to the senseless murder of that young teenaged boy in the river. From that point onward, I wrote my own script in my head. If Mothman got them, they deserved it. (IMO)
