About this movie...
This dark supernatural thriller from brothers Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang stars Dylan McDermott, Penelope Ann Miller, and Kristin Stewart as a family trying to take over and run a remote sunflower farm. But the ominous signs that something is very, very wrong with their new home increase and crystallize following the arrival of a drifter (John Corbett).
Reviews on this movie -
Excessive usage of "BOOS" scares.
The Messengers is the first movie the Pang Brothers made fot their ever Hollywood attempt. I define a "boo!" moment as an instant in a movie when there is a loud sound, usually accompanied by a musical stinger and occasionally in concert with the fast pass of an unidentifiable object across a portion of the camera's field of view. The idea behind a "boo!" moment is to startle viewers. And The Messengers offers plenty of startling moments but ain't thrilling nor scary. ): This perhaps explains the reason why I heard lots of laughters in the theatre when the moment is supposed to be shocking. It's clearly this movie is a mixture of the successful horrors such as THE GRUDGE, THE BIRDS etc. By the end of the film, these instances have become so frequent that they're more comedic than horrific.
