Lapses in logic, sure; there is one that's a howler. After being attacked by a quartet of pale molesting arms at the basement stairwell, the girl returns with a seemingly lack of fear. "The Messengers" is a bad film, but you've got Lapses in logic, sure; there is one that's a howler. After being attacked by a quartet of pale molesting arms at the basement stairwell, the girl returns with a seemingly lack of fear. "The Messengers" is a bad film, but you've got to love the homo-eroticism between the girl's father and the farmer. It's "Brokeback Sunflower Field". In terms of style, however, it's nonsensical.

They both have a long way to go, as does this film, but it was mildly entertaining and managed to achieve some scares here and there.

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.
