Creaky and Creepy
Review of The Messengers DVD by ms19

Advantages: good characters, good plot
Disadvantages: -

...I stumbled across this film The Messengers. After seeing the trailer it seemed like a typical horror movie plot but however I had heard really good things about this film and decided to persevere. The cast didn’t seem to be too well known but I usually find horror movies never really do have a really famous cast. This film was released in the cinema in April and is released on DVD in August which isn’t too far away. This film begins with the Solomon ...
...Dakota. The family don’t really get on well as the daughter Jess (Kristen Stewart) got into a car accident, suspending her license and causing the little brother Ben to end up in hospital never having spoken since. The amount of money it cost the family meant they had to up and leave as they had spent their life savings on hospitals bills amongst other things. Jess does not seem happy about having to move out to this farm house and neither does the ... Read review

Advantages: Capable direction.
Disadvantages: Mediocre writing.

...on in their new house. The last family that lived there just disappeared. Did they just up sticks and leave? Or was something more sinister at work? Soon Jess is being plagued by terrifying visions of equally scared looking people and the creaks and squeaks of the old building turn into something altogether more dangerous. Her parents won’t believe her and only her little brother Ben can see what’s causing the disturbances. And he hasn’t spoken for ...
...Pang are well practised in the art of frightening audiences, having originated “The Eye” movies. On a superficial level their brand of scaremongering works. They work on the principal that less is more, using the power of suggestion to ratchet up the tension in the opening minutes. You never see who or what is attacking the last family to live at the farm, only their reactions and fleeting suggestions of figures in shadow form. They carry on in this ... Read review

This is definitely going to give you nightmares (Now, 05/07/2007)

DVD Description

Twin filmmakers Danny and Oxide Pang's creepy 2003 feature THE EYE earned them enough kudos to make the leap to Hollywood, and their first effort is the creepy chiller THE MESSENGERS. A Chicago-based family comprised of Roy (Dylan McDermott), his wife, Denise (Penelope Ann Miller), their teenage daughter, Jess (Kristen Stewart), and young son, Ben (played by twins Evan and Theodore Turner) try to put the hard times behind them with a move to a picturesque farmhouse in North Dakota. Jess quickly becomes convinced that the house is haunted after some peculiar occurrences while she's alone there with young Ben. But Ben can't articulate what he's seen, and Jess's story is met with scepticism by her parents. It soon becomes apparent that past family tensions are slowly boiling to the surface. Meanwhile, the ghosts keep coming, and the Pang brothers never keep their audience waiting for long before another nerve-jangling scene shudders into view. But as the ghosts torment their new residents, Jess does a little research on the old farmhouse and discovers a few secrets that may just hold the key to why this is all happening. Packed full of CGI effects and a few moments that may cause a jump or two, THE MESSENGERS is a horror movie aimed at a young audience and not horror aficionados, as indicated by its certification.
