The Messengers post #1  quote:



THE MESSENGERS

Starring: Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott

There is evidence to suggest that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomena. They see what adults cannot. They believe what adults deny. And they are trying to warn us.

I saw The Messengers over the weekend, expecting another cheesy horror movie, but have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised.

Not particularly original, but still a well shot film that combines aspects of various classics (including Hitchcock´s The Birds, albeit in only one scene!) to good effect. The storyline is solid, performances decent and it certainly makes a change from some of the awful slasher (regarded as so-called horror) movies that have been served up of late.

Released: In the US ages ago, but here in the UK last weekend!

Worth seeing: 7.5/10

Although Kristen Stewart was good in the role, I just read that Scout Taylor-Compton had auditioned for it (she'll be in the remake of Halloween... now that is a bad career move!).

I remember ST-C from a few episodes of Charmed a couple of years back and think she might actually have made a better Jess in The Messengers.

And for an online friend of mine who visits here from time to time... you know who you are(!)... the movie's out in Brazil on 20th April, so only 2 weeks after being released here (in the UK).. so stop complaining
