The Messengers
When the Solomons trade in the craziness of big-city life for the quiet of a North Dakota farm, little do they expect the nightmare that follows. Soon after arriving, teenage Jess (Kristen Stewart) and her younger brother see terrifying apparitions and endure attacks from a supernatural source. Jess must warn her disbelieving family before it is too late to save them.

A film so filled with clichés of the genre and plot points so dumb that even a novice would end up laughing.

Sadly, the movie just doesn't deliver chills.

The well-amplified scares are so perfunctory as to be laughable. 'What's up with the crows?' bitches Kristen Stewart, clearly not up on her Hitchcock or any Asian thriller of the past ten years.

Um filme falho (especialmente com relação ao seu roteiro), mas que oferece belos exemplos do dom que os cineastas têm para criar planos e cenas perturbadores.

Patchwork filmmaking designed by a corporate mentality devoted only to the defense of the lowest common denominator. The viewer is assumed to be stupid and easily duped.

There are flashes of good imagery in The Messengers, but [they] work better in the trailer, unencumbered by the dreary plot.

Many of the images feel over-familiar, and the shocks a mite too forced.

The only message worth relaying about The Messengers is: Avoid.

No one says, "Gimme the bat, Wendy," or, "Here's Johnny!" But they come close.

The Asian-horror-movie moment feels long since passed, both here and abroad. Let our zombies walk or even sprint again! Give our creepy kids back their pupils!

The MessengersI/i> is textbook, and the course it's teaching is HSL: Horror as a Second Language.

Thai twin-brother directors Oxide and Danny Pang did primo horror work on 2002's Hong Kong cornea-transplant flick The Eye, but on their first American film their atmospheric efforts are usurped by a brain-dead script that seems written by a 12-year-old.
