Interesting movie, it has its moments and acting is very good. But the story seems to go nowhere. Unlike other stories about monsters, we don't get to see how this moth creature is like.
The part where Connie says "they were seen not by flakes or freaks, but by responsible members of the community" makes one think. What is a freak? Who decides that? So reports from eccentric, misunderstood or stigmatized people are unreliable but any wild, preposterous story coming from those who conform to society's standards are easily accepted?
As if just because someone who carefully does in public only what is expected from them couldn't behave in an unethical or dangerous manner when no one is looking! Maybe anyone who goes to church and follows all the conventions are incapable of lying and cannot misinterpret things?
Hopefully their intention was precisely to criticize that way of thinking.
