Hong Kong horror specialists Danny and Oxide Pang (The Eye, Bangkok Haunted) ponder the paranormal sensitivities of young innocents in this tale of an unsuspecting family who falls prey to a malevolent entity after moving to into a haunted sunflower farm. Roy (Dylan McDermott) and Denise Solomon (Penelope Ann Miller) have decided to give up life in Chicago and relocate their family to secluded North Dakota sunflower farm. While the tranquil sway of the lush yellow fields at first offers a welcomed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the family soon begins to suspect that they are not alone on the farm when teenage daughter Jess (Kristen Stewart) and her three-year-old brother, Ben (Evan Turner), begin to see a series of menacing apparitions that are apparently invisible to adult eyes. As Jess and Ben's encounters with the malevolent spirits grow increasingly violent, the parents of the tormented teen soon begin to question their daughter's sanity. Soon, the dark history of the family that once lived in the remote farm and the troubled past of the frightened Jess begin to merge as she struggles to warn her parents about the terrifying confrontation with the supernatural that is about to unfold. John Corbett, Jodelle Ferland, and Brent Briscoe co-star in a rural tale of terror from Ghosthouse Pictures and producer Sam Raimi. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie had much more potential but unfortunatly fell short due to it's overly telling trailer and predictable storyline. While the film does have you jumping from your seat a few times, the real chilling parts have already ALL been shown on the preview/ trailer so you already know when the best eerie scenes are coming. Add to that a predictable storyline that just finishes up really fast like a bad first date and you've got the Messengers. It's basically this..*** !!Don't read this part unless you want the spoiler: Family moves to old farm house haunted by previous family who was murdered there. Drifter passes by and takes up work on far with family. Drifter turns out to be the father of previous family who murdered them all and in the end tries to murder new family but the house takes him out. The end. Like I said, predictable...

    In this case you should shoot the messenger...for this tired old plot and hackneyed acting..the only thing scarier than the performances and directing was the fact that I meant to rent The Messenger signaling that I am really getting senile and dodgy. Boo!
