This Happened In my Country of Mauritius in 1993,,, they called it LUGAROO!!! Short Story By: Rassool Auckbaraullee
One day in 2002 I went to the theatre, and for no reason me and my ex just thought we would watch this film, because nothing else seemed interesting. At the end of the movie as were walking through the parking lot, I got the chills. I mean the chills like someone is watching you from behind.
At the moment I told my ex this is exactly what happened in Mauritius. She right away agreed and we both started to remember what people were saying about this phenomenon in 1992. As I started to rethink about this film it had many of the similiraties the eye witnesses were saying in Mauritius.
For a film that we just walked into and to think and realize, that this was exactly what happened in Mauritius, was extrememly creepy. For someone who has never seen the film you'll appreciate it.
But if you know about the phenomenon youll crap your pants. When I heard about these events in Mauritius, I didnt't buy into it. This story in Mauritius took over the entire country, but never recieved any world wide news.
Mauritius is a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. So the only peolple who knew about it were mauritians but they also knew no one would believe them. Imagine telling everyone you saw a human form of a bat 10 feet tall. Everyone knew about the story but also nobody wanted to listen because of the other phenomenon of withcraft, voodoo and superstitions. After seeing the film I owe a huge apology to my country men.
Thrillers such as this one are hard to come by. It's not exactly a horror movie, but there are more than enough creepy moments to send a few chills reverberating through your body. It's a film that relies less on special effects than on such quaint ideals as character motivation and development and atmosphere. In fact, this movie's just brimming with atmosphere.
We've all seen those cheesy movies in which a car runs out of gas along a desolate country road, and then BAM - some serial killers make dinner or belts out of the hapless occupants. But in this case, the monster is hardly ever seen, thereby heightening the scares.
At the centerpiece is Gere as Klein. I've never, ever been a Gere fan; it seems to me he has one expression. He's never been terribly emotive and has been known in recent years more for the age disparity with his female costars than for anything else (they get younger, he stays the same old dude). Call him ruggedly handsome if you will, but vacuity is never really appealing.
But this is not your typical Gere at all. He definitely turns in the best work of his career. Sure, he was appealing in Pretty Woman, but it was Julie Roberts' movie. Officer and a Gentleman? Ok, but that was Lou Gosset Jr.'s movie. Primal Fear? Red Corner? Runaway Bride? No, no, no. This is acting on a ledge for Gere.
It's a true departure from the romantic comedies and the sly psuedo-mystery/dramas. Ordinarily, I would think such a movie would expose Gere for the terrible actor he became. But I would be wrong. This movie was so well written and directed that Gere rose to its level, rather than sinking it. That's a huge credit to him as an actor.
Now, I need to differentiate between good acting and appeal. An actor can look good or be charming in a role and still be a bad actor; by contrast, an actor can look uncharming and turn in a great performance. But what's key is how the actor draws the audience in - do they sympathize with his plight? Are they on his side? How good of an actor he is will answer that question.
Gere's Klein starts out as an average joe, and then we get to see him slowly descend into madness - we even descend a little with him. That vaunted atmosphere is so vibrant and realistic that we turn when he turns and feel things he feels. This is an absolute hallmark of excellent filmmaking (by Mark Pellington, whose only other big film was 1999's Arlington Road).
The writing is crisp and eminently believable, and the acting in addition to Gere (including Laura Linney, Debra Messing, and Will Patton) is simply superb. And don't forget the prophecies part of the title, either; this "Mothman" entity issues warnings to whomever it deems worthy. Which sounds good, as long as one can interpret them correctly. Apparently, many have not.
The story is based on actual events that took place in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, but this is no Amityville Horror story. With Amityville, one could distance oneself from the experiences of the family involved; we could say that it would never happen to us, it was only a movie.
This is a little trickier with The Mothman Prophecies. It's a creepy, tingly movie that gets under your skin and crawls all over your heart and keeps you guessing.
