Wow, just took a glance at some of the reviews and I'm so glad I didn't before I watched this movie. I liked it. It kept my attention. The actors/actresses seemed well chosen for their parts. It was filmed well. The setting was perfect. It was atmospheric. I can't say it was a scare fest, but it didn't seem to be meant to be one, and still I was creeped out by several scenes. I kind of wished it had been drawn out more, made into an even longer film. Maybe I'm tired of the blood and guts, cheap scare, slasher type films so this really appealed to me because it really wasn't one overall? Who knows. It's definitely gothic and I felt that and appreciated it. There was nothing poorly made about this, not the filming, not the setting, not the acting, not the score, not the script, not even the story. If people didn't like that it was about teenage girls and set in an all girl boarding school, then they shouldn't have set down and watched it in the first place. It's not like they hid that fact in the blurb about the movie. Anyway, in a setting of an all teenage girls boarding school, you're liable to come across issues that affect teenage girls. I mean, what did you expect. The makers of this film did well. I'd definitely suggest watching it. Btw, I'm not a teen and passed those years way long ago.

The Moth Diaries script isn't terrible, but the acting (especially the fake crying) leaves a lot to be desired. Ernessa is sufficiently creepy - but the other boarding school girls struggle.

This is s thoughtfull look at the loss of innocence and the slow transition from childhood to adulthood under the guise of teens in solitude. A beautiful exploration that would have been praised in early cinema, but is praised early cinema.

The tone and style are not bad, but the horror is less than engaging.

For me this movie was weird, and let's get this straight this is not a vampire movie, like people are saying. I was expecting more like the " Mothman Prophecies ", but it was more like " The Craft ". School girls who are being haunted by a ghost, it was not a good movie, as that being said I give " The Moth Diaries " a D-.
