Hong Kong horror specialists Danny and Oxide Pang (The Eye, Bangkok Haunted) ponder the paranormal sensitivities of young innocents in this tale of an unsuspecting family who falls prey to a malevolent entity after moving to into a haunted sunflower farm. Roy (Dylan McDermott) and Denise Solomon (Penelope Ann Miller) have decided to give up life in Chicago and relocate their family to secluded North Dakota sunflower farm. While the tranquil sway of the lush yellow fields at first offers a welcomed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the family soon begins to suspect that they are not alone on the farm when teenage daughter Jess (Kristen Stewart) and her three-year-old brother, Ben (Evan Turner), begin to see a series of menacing apparitions that are apparently invisible to adult eyes. As Jess and Ben's encounters with the malevolent spirits grow increasingly violent, the parents of the tormented teen soon begin to question their daughter's sanity. Soon, the dark history of the family that once lived in the remote farm and the troubled past of the frightened Jess begin to merge as she struggles to warn her parents about the terrifying confrontation with the supernatural that is about to unfold. John Corbett, Jodelle Ferland, and Brent Briscoe co-star in a rural tale of terror from Ghosthouse Pictures and producer Sam Raimi. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"As we were watching The Messengers, a friend of mine said “I think I’ve seen this before.” My response was, “You probably have. It’s been released under about a hundred different names over the past five years or so.” Now, I’m not sure she has seen The Messengers before we watched it that Friday night, but I do know that it’s basically a copy of almost every other PG-13 hor " [More]

"Talk about behind The Bad Seed focuses on a seemingly perfect little girl, blond braids, sweet smile. But when a schoolmate has a tragic accident on a picnic, her mother starts to suspect evil beneath the little girl's sweetness. This is an old school suspense movie. The characters are introduced and given plenty of time to impress us (sometimes the wrong " [More]

"The movie itself was pretty good for a thriller. However, the ending did not work for me and it kind of flattened the whole thing. Maybe the director and I just disagree on our artistic views ;) " [More]

"Overall this was a good movie for thriller fans. It's kind of a well-trodden path, (spooky house, dead people, etc.) but it added some new things and pulled it off fairly well. It had a good twist and all the lose ends tied together in the end. Also, Kristen did a great job acting. I'd say if your a thriller fan, you should definitly check it out. " [More]

"I have to say The Descent has been one of the best "newer" films I have seen lately. Although, I have been watching a lot of Older films from the 70s and 80s on my Netflix Queue. Dead Silence wasn't too bad, it was a little on the cheesey side but had some very good goosebump moments that I liked. [More]

"It is amazing how much music can make or break a film. Just think if Halloween had Tiptoe through the Tulips playing in the background, I don't think it would have been that big of a hit then...hee hee.I was watching the Messengers and noticed some of the music sounded a lot like the same music used i " [More]
