    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Family from the big city with a troubled teen daughter decide to make a clean break putting all their troubles behind them starting a new life on a farm. The farm is run down, the house very 'amitiville' style dark and has a history...... yep does sound familiar doesn't it !!! Wasn't the worst 90 minutes ever, it is tense-ish at times, but is definately not 'horror' and, unless you have been hiding in the cellar yourself for the past 30 yaers, you will certainly have the 'I've seen all this before' feeling right from the start. Not entirely shabby, but unless you are a teen looking for any excuse you can to get your partner to cuddle up closer, don't go out of your way to watch this one.

    Rubbish. Cliched nonsense that didn't go anywhere or do anything. No story, no scary bits, no flaming good. Don't bother.

    I liked this. The film was quite creepy and the camera style was also good.

    I've seen the Pang's other films e.g. The Eye, and was impressed but their styles are generally story-based rather than pure horror.

    I would've given this film 4 stars but towards the end there are some plot holes and story arcs that ruin the experience to some extent (I spotted one a mile off!).

    All-in-all a decent effort.

    I liked this film - it made me jump and was a bit creepy - yeah, it was kind of silly BUT had the makings of a good horror. Nice ot see 'Bella' in a slightly different character!

  • Not Bad....

    Creepy as...Im not very good with horrors...

    It had a jumpy theme from start to finish but was a bit dull in some places and lost the creepy touch and moved into more fantasy rubbish.

    Worth a watch...to unsure whether to watch Messengers 2...

    An ok film - i stuck with it to the end but i'm not that impressed with it .

    The little boy acted well and was a bit spooky when he pointed at things that weren't there.

    Too tame for my liking and the story was weak.

    Easy to forget.
