This movie looks scarier then it is. Even though a few scenes made me jump, the movie was more intriguing then scary. The violent content is more mild then most thrillers. A car accident scene shows one character hitting her head on the car's side window. And another accident scene shows a bridge cable going through a car's windshield (it's assumed that the driver died, but the body was never showed). In my opinion, the language was too strong for a PG-13 movie. That's the main thing about this movie that parents should be warned about.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Mothman Prophecies
Parents need to know that although this movie isn't very graphic or gory, it's a psychological thriller that may be deeply upsetting to some people. There's a car crash and a tragic accident with many deaths. Another death could be suicide. There's a brief non-graphic sexual situatio and brief strong language.
