The trouble isn't just that this haunted-house story, written by Mark Wheaton and directed by Hong Kong filmmakers Danny and Oxide Pang, is both formulaic and derivative. It's that it's completely free of atmosphere, the very thing that their 2002 "The Eye" had in such creepy abundance.

Like too many horror pictures, The Messengers becomes more boringly prosaic as it goes along, and there's an 11th-hour plot twist so dumb and poorly articulated that it destroys the movie. That's a shame, because shot for shot, the Pangs might be the most terrifying filmmakers alive.

It was really scary. The guy (about 30) covered his eyes the entire time. Thats how horrifying this movie is. Watch it, but not on a full stomach. This is not for the faint at heart. Enjoy the movie!

I highly recommend this movie if you're looking for a small-town thrill. However, I was a tad disappointed. It wasn't very original, and I saw lots of elements from Amityville movies.

One gets the sense that much of a decent script ended up on the cutting room floor; what got left in makes almost no sense, and certainly has nothing to do with the title (or even the previews).

It is amazing that such a high-budget horror film can achieve such cheap scares with such bad and unrealistic acting. Not only that, but this movie is easily the most predictable horror movie of the last 15 years.
