Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Feb 2007

The Messengers isn't a particularly frightening or gory horror movie, but directors Danny and Oxide Pang do have a special talent for torturing…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 05 Feb 2007

Even though The Messengers turns out to be deeply and irrevocably flawed, it's still the best movie Ghost House has released to date…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Andrea Chase (1,182) for Killer Movie Reviews (1,182) on 05 Feb 2007

The running motif of crows run amok has too much of Hitchcock's THE BIRDS about it to stand on its own, even in the Pang's capable hands…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Michael Black (29) for ReviewExpress.com (294) on 04 Feb 2007

The Messengers falls flat with its tedious plot, clichéd storyline and unsurprising twist…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for FilmsInReview.com (462) on 04 Feb 2007

Scary awful. It's a new genre I just made up…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Feb 2007

The Pangs might know how to knee-jerk shock an audience ad nauseam, but the remainder of The Messengers suffers from shamelessly thudding banality…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Frank Ochieng (928) for Movie Eye (513) on 03 Feb 2007

However, in their (The Pangs) first serving of an American-made boofest served with all the fixings of a horror-induced bunt cake the taste…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for Cinematical (752) on 02 Feb 2007

A stunningly inert, painfully derivative, shamelessly cheap and aggressively dull ghost story that delivers nothing you haven't seen before…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 02 Feb 2007

The most frightening aspect of the film is that it will soon be haunting the bargain bins of shoddy video stores…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 02 Feb 2007

It isn't until the end that things spin out of control. No one says 'Gimme the bat, Wendy' or 'Here's Johnny!' But they come close…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 02 Feb 2007

But only almost…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 02 Feb 2007

If The Messengers means to say something about all this familial and social dysfunction, that point is lost among hackneyed, decidedly unscary…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Robin Clifford (1,670) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 02 Feb 2007

As I left the theater after seeing The Messenger I overheard a guy asking his date: So, what was the message? My thoughts exactly…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 02 Feb 2007

With a heaping helping of common sense, The Messengers could have been a very good movie…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Kevin Carr (1,610) for 7M Pictures (1,037) on 02 Feb 2007

The first half is very well done, making it one of the best haunted house movies since The Grudge…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for OhmyNews.com (129) on 02 Feb 2007

For every one moment of genuinely built suspense, the Pang Brothers chase it with at least three follow-up scenes of either out-loud stupidity…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Feb 2007

Just dumb formula, and even the Pang brothers' technique can't raise it above the humdrum…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 02 Feb 2007

The Pang Brothers' sense of style often overcomes the lack of substance in this derivative scarefest…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 01 Feb 2007

May be worth watching simply for the sight of Dylan McDermott playing a downtrodden sunflower farmer who at one point -- so help me -- attempts…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 01 Feb 2007

Apart from being completely derivative and lacking even one original idea, it's not a bad movie. 'Unnecessary' is more the word I would use…
