Reviews:


Americanized Pang brothers go mainstream and sadly the results are not very good. I actually wanted to like this film, because I enjoyed the Pang Bros. previous well-known horror film “The Eye” and for that reason alone, I had some really high hopes with this one too. Well, I guess it was my bad and I must say now that I’m genuinely disappointed; since I was expecting something that would be just as dark and scary as “The Eye”, considering that we are talking about the same directors, but this time, they even had a bigger budget to work with. Proof that good directors can screw it up (or at least in my humble opinion) and that won’t have anything to do with the financial resources.

In “The Messengers”, the Solomon family, moves to an isolated farm, with the purpose of starting a new life and leaving an unpleasant memory behind. However, as soon as they arrive to their new house, the teenage daughter Jess, starts to experience some really odd situations and she claims to see people living inside the cellar. Creatures that are not in peace with themselves and need to give her a message before it’s too late. However, her parents, who are pretty much fed up with her and her dreadful behavior, don’t believe a word she says. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time for them to realize that Jess may not be lying this time, after all and that there’s actually something in that house…something that has been waiting in the dark for a few years and is waiting to be released.

I won’t complain about the fact that these kinds of stories were already told about a thousand times. I’m not one of those movie fans who complain about the lack of innovation when it comes to the plot. Honestly, I think most films (especially horror films) out there, share a decent number of similarities and while many reviews comment on the simplicity and unoriginality of the plot, I will mainly focus on the fact that this film is overall not scary, which is my main concern. It seems like The Pang Bros. basically sold their talent to the devil, just to enter in the American film industry, without realizing that there was no need to copy the most superfluous and silly PG-rated contemporary horror flicks. “The Messengers” turns out to be one of those movies where nothing really happens…ever. It’s just a nice variety of hallucinations and situations that end up being reduced to “Did it really happen or was it just my imagination?”. No, I’m sorry but I just had about enough with these nonsense. I suppose the real action starts happening during the last twenty minutes, but that just doesn’t do it for me. The denouement turns out to be somehow far-fetched and it left me with the hateful “That’s it?” feeling inside my head. Overall, not the worst movie ever and it’s not like it is unwatchable. It happens to be entertaining for moments and it has a small number of well-done ghostly sequences that made the whole thing endurable in some way. I also enjoyed the scenes with the crows, since they reminded me a lot of “The Birds”, which is like partying with an old best friend, or something like that. The music during the opening and final credits is in my opinion the actual high point and that is not a very good sign, unfortunately. Another thing that is not exactly a good sign, would be the overhead microphone that can be seen more than once during the film. No comments about that little detail.

Bad watch, probably won’t watch again, and can’t recommend.

I actually like Kristen Stewart, and I think she performed decently in this, but she worked her ass off carrying the movie. John Corbett was the only other person pulling their weight in this movie.

The story itself was okay, but it does have a lot of problems. My biggest was just their defiance of reality.

The “in you face” thing is that the farm is plague with “crows” that are clearly ravens. This is done because you can train ravens much easier, but they’re GIANT birds by average comparison of what size birds most people see. And then they do stupid things like leave feed out far enough away from where you would take it (those are not light bags), and when birds come, he shoos them farther into the car as the trunk is the only part open.

They are planting sunflower seeds, which just means lots of things trying to eat it, but the timeline is all over the place. They go to plant seeds, and there are tiny plants in the background. There is an incident early on, then what seems like a week passes, but then it’s almost end of harvest. And then there is still a giant bag of seeds to plant, and it isn’t part of the harvest because it’s by itself and I don’t think they start harvesting during the movie.

There is also the mold which she doesn’t seem to know how to treat or why it would come back…just silly. But its details like these that show how poorly written the script is, especially the dialogue.

The effects are actually pretty interesting, they did a good job on the birds, the wall, and the “flowing ground” was really interesting, but it’s not enough to have a cool effect or two. You might as well, just have lots of odd explosions then.

Overall, just not worth the watch, unless you want to see a movie where Kristen Stewart is objectively the best actor.

Much better than some reviewers would have you believe!
I don’t know what people expect from thriller/horror movies if they are willing to call this one tragically bad or “lame”. Not all thriller movies can be the best – and this one is not one of the “best” you’ll ever see. But that’s no reason to slam it quite so badly. There have to be a bunch of movies that are in the average range, obviously, not all movies can be the best. This one is definitely in the average range – BUT it’s one of the better “average” thrillers you’ll come across. The reason it’s in the upper levels of “average” is because it’s directed by the Pang Brothers. They are responsible for The Eye and Bangkok Dangerous and their brilliant stamp is all over this little thriller. Take notice of how beautifully framed each scene is, the effective use of silence throughout, the play on colours & textures, the minimalist dialogue etc. It’s beautifully filmed and well acted by all but the mother character and it creates a lovely tense atmosphere with plenty of scares and spooks (but no blood and guts – so that will “disappoint” some). The biggest problem with the movie is the screenplay itself. It’s not the most riveting story in the world & the plot has several flaws (like so many thrillers do). But it doesn’t matter, in the hands of the Pangs this taut little thriller still a far better movie than most and easily worth the rental. Just don’t go into it expecting the next best thing. It is what it is. An average but gripping movie.

Sometimes, It’s a Good Idea to Shoot the Messenger
Despite a totally misleading advertising campaign, this flick turns out to be an irritatingly clichéd, sub-par haunted house flick with a totally implausible ending. Clue #1 for all considering seeing this turkey: Sam Raimi didn’t direct it. Although commercials for the movie play up his involvement, in truth he is one of four producers. It’s too bad that someone as talented as Raimi has allowed his name to be used in conjunction with such a poor movie. I don’t think he would ever have directed something like this; that task was left to the Pang Brothers.

The screenplay for this film seems to have been cobbled together from numerous other “horror” films, so you’ll find absolutely zero original content in “The Messengers.” What we get are a scene here and there that was plucked straight out of “Pulse,” a couple that could have come from “The Birds,” one or two from “The Others,” etc. Nearly every scene, almost every line of dialogue, is one that has been lifted from any number of other movies. The whole thing makes for such a predictable movie that almost anyone will be able to figure out the “surprise ending” long before it comes.

Right about here would be a good time to point out that the advertising campaign, centered on the idea that only children can see ghosts, has nothing to do with this movie. In fact, everyone can see the ghosts. The teenage daughter and mother characters certainly see them, even quite early in the movie. I’m sure that whomever was in charge of marketing came up with this campaign because the film needed a unique angle to have any box office appeal, which otherwise is entirely absent. Now you know, so don’t be fooled! Perhaps what this movie lacks most of all is anything resembling chemistry between the actors. It simply isn’t there. All of the interactions come across as awkwardly stilted. Coupled with the hackneyed story and ridiculous plot holes (just what is a guy who murdered his whole family doing still lurking around the small town where the murder happened, anyhow? Didn’t anyone think to maybe arrest him?), it all adds up to a profoundly unsatisfying ghost flick that only manages to surprise anyone over the age of ten with cheap shots: loud noises, visual flashes, and anything short of a sheeted figure jumping out of a closet and yelling “Boo!” All we get for our buck this time around is yet another poorly-made film about spirits attempting to warn people away from a house. If there’s any message that “The Messengers” delivers, it’s “Don’t waste your time on this movie.”
