The Messengers

Going into this one I expected complete and total garbage. Well it was pretty much exactly that. 
It's your generic "family gets a great deal on this house out in the middle of knowwhere" storyline. With a mix of children who can see things that adults cannot. There's a bunch of small storylines within the movie that amount to absolutely nothing. The biggest bust was the Smoking man from the X-Files randomly showing up and telling the family that another offer has been made on the house and they would profit 15%. The family declines and they never explain anything about that.
The movie did have the scare factor which seemed to me a migration of the cave people from The Descent teleporting to this house and living in the walls and floors. They move super jerky style like in that one and like in the Grudge as well. It was somewhat freaky but definatley a movie that I'll forget about in a week. Go ahead and throw this one in with The Fog, Pulse, Grudge 2, and all your other standard horror films rated pg-13 that all the jr high and high schoolers will flock to.
Anyways I'll rate this one a couple points above FearDotCom....
3/10
