This movie had some good moments, I'm not going to lie, but altogether it was a great disappointment. From the trailer, I hoped this would be the next Grudge for me. It looked positively frightening, the acting looked above average, and I thought it might have a good story. The fact that it wasn't a remake (at least I haven't heard of it being a remake) was also an added bonus.

The fact of the mater was, there was too much done wrong with the production of this film. It didn't seem scary at all really. There were some moments taht had potental, but in the end I was only tense for one scene. Like I said before, it wasn't a remake, but something about the style made it seem like a movie that I had already seen previously. The special effects weren't all that great, and the biggest flaw? While trying to be completel unpredictable, it was utterly and terrifyingly predicatble!

This movie could have been really good, but it just ended up coming off as a J-horror wannabe. I actually found myself checking the time during my FIRST viewing of the film, which is never a good sign.

Yaaaaaawwwn. Suffers from being a part of a tired predictable genre

The sequel looks a lot better, and that's really saying something.

I just watch this movie and I have to say it was pretty boring for me there are a few (like maybe 2) good parts but other then that nothing really. Also Kristen Stewart seemed kinda dumb to me in it I don't know.

Wow. the preview made this movie look so good. it was a worse version of An American Haunting. Lame.

The best parts are in the trailer. Below average, but not the worst ever

"Just saw this movie on opening night. I read some other user comments which convinced me to go see it... I must say, I was not impressed. I'm so unimpressed that I feel the need to write this comment to spare some of you people some money.

First of all "The Messengers" is very predictable, and just not much of a thriller. It might be scary for someone under 13, but it really did nothing for me. The climax was laughable and most of the audience left before the movie's resolution.

Furthermore the acting seemed a little superficial. Some of the emotional arguments between the family were less convincing than the sub-par suspense scenes.

If you've seen previews for this movie, then you've seen most of the best parts and have a strong understanding of the plot. This movie is not worth seeing in the theaters." --banchi, imdb.com

didnt like it it wasnt scary and the thing that got on my nerves the most was the fact that the baby was the best actor in this movie

This film was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Going into the film I wasn't expecting much, mostly because of the PG-13 rating. It used a lot of the same ideas as many films before it. People move into haunted house, ghosts make noises and scare family, etc. Even with all of the cliche ghost movie plots the movie still played out well. The ghosts were genuinely creepy looking, crawling on ceilings and such. I was impressed. I would recommend this to any horror lover looking for something mediocre to watch while having a few brews, you won't be disappointed.

This movie scared the crap out of me!


Posted By: bob3701 at 7:47pm, March 29, 2008

I didn't think it was as bad as the official review made it out to be. Mind you it was not great but it did not suck. It is another film from Ghosthouse that seems to put out middle of the road horror films. Watchable.
