"A little to predictable for me because you pretty much know when things are going to happen...but you still jump so that's good. Storyline is pretty corny. "

- SP_Chris, gave it a 2/5

"I would have to say about 3 1/2. There was some moments that made me jump out of my seat:-) Read my review in the SP Blog."

Additional Information

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 - Amazon.com

In The Messengers, the Solomon family leaves the hustle-and-bustle of Chicago life for the solace of a small, run-down farm in North Dakota. As Roy (McDermott) and Denise Solomon (Miller) try to repair their failing marriage, their troubled teenage daughter, Jess (Stewart), and 3-year-old son, Ben (Evan and Theodore Turner), realize their new farmhouse is haunted. The children see ghosts and find the apparitions intriguing until one night, when the ghosts' sinister side is revealed, their true intentions are made apparent. The evil spirits tear the seemingly peaceful house apart and drag Jess into the darkness as she and Ben struggle to face the threatening spirits on their own.
