The Messengers description
Lithe and tomboyish Kristen Stewart (Panic Room, The Safety of Objects) anchors the derivative but potently atmospheric horror movie The Messengers. The story--a troubled family moves into one of those creepy farmhouses that scream "serial murder site" and find their lives disturbed by unearthly occurrences--is a puree of plot elements from The Sixth Sense, The Birds, The Amityville Horror, The Shining, the recent spate of Japanese horror remakes, and more. Despite this, the movie may get under your skin; between the bleached sunlight, the effective ambient sound, and scenes that linger unexpectedly on quiet suspense, The Messengers creates a vivid and unsettling mood. There are still plenty of the abrupt jolts that make teenager girls clutch their dates, but this artful creepiness--combined with Stewart's engaging presence--will have a longer effect. Also featuring Dylan McDermott (The Practice), Penelope Ann Miller (Carlito's Way), and John Corbett (Northern Exposure, Sex and the City). Directed by the Pang Brothers, the duo responsible for Hong Kong hits like The Eye and Infernal Affairs. --Bret Fetzer

The Messengers Customer Reviews

Falls short... way short

The plot of this movie is actually good, if you take away the film part and look at only the written word.
However, this movie relies too heavily on special effects, gratuitous frights, way way too many flashbacks and a very disjointed telling of the story.
The 'Messengers' of the movie are actually the crows... they are trying to say 'danger'. But I only figured that out after a few days thought. Otherwise, one is left wondering about the title.
Although there are strong actors here, it doesn't make up for the poorly reconstructed retelling. I believe if there would have been a more deliberate unfolding of the nature of the sudden stranger to the house it would have worked much better.
And there are a few things left unexplained... like the stuff in the basement that consumes the villian... what was it? and why?
I say... strip away the special effects... throw around some clues as to the previous family's demise and make it a nice, tense murder mystery. It would work soooooooooo much better.
