Amazon.com:
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

- Let me be a Messenger: DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!
You'll need two cans of air freshener to neutralize the stench of this stinkeroo, which has to be one of the dumbest horror flicks I have ever seen.

(P.S. Dude, the stuff with the marauding birds has already been done. His name was Hitchcock.)

Find another way to spend 90 minutes of your life. The biggest horror to this movie would be in wasting any more time watching it.

Rating:

- Predictable But Well Acted
I liked this movie alot because of the actors and the suspense elements but the storyline was way to predictable and obvious, but every movie has been like that for me but if you like suspense and scares this is a great film!

Rating:

- Rises Above Its Cliches
The title "Messengers" seems to carry a slightly religious overtone. However don't be misled by that connotation. There are no religious lessons here. The film is all about delivering scares and surprises, which it does succeed at doing occasionally, despite harboring a host of cinematic clichés.

The clichés and the borrowings from famous horror flicks include:
*An unexplained attack by a flock of crows ("The Birds")
*An isolated house, listing on its foundations, dilapidated ... Read More

- The Messengers
A creepy suspense thriller
this was a great movie all family would like it

Rating:

- Above Par PG-13 Horror Flick
The Ring proved that horror movies rated PG-13 can be scary. Since then there have been oodles of movies following the format. Some have been good, some have not. The Messengers falls on the good side, in my opinion. It's not a great thriller, but it has its moments.

I agree with another reviewer that said they were tired of the Grudge-esque black and white stop motion ghosts. There are plenty of them in this movie, but the effect is slightly better than most. One particularly good scene ... Read More
