It’s Just a Movie Review - “The Messengers”
I can now understand why this movie was not shown to any reporters to be reviewed prior to it’s release. Sam Rami has created the same movie 3 times now and it doesn’t get any better. This film starts off with the slowest opening credits in the history of movie making and they set the tone for a comical 90 minutes. If you watched the preview to this film you have seen all the good scares it has to offer so don’t go in expecting extended scares because they aren’t anywhere to be found. The script was apparently put together by a 4th grader hoping to get an extra cookie for dessert the acting was on the same level. If you saw the Grudge or the Grudge II or any of the original Japanese horror films you already know the story behind this one so if you really must see this on the big screen because you are related to an actor in the film or you lost a bet try to sneak in the back door to save your $10.
Overall disappointment - when the crowd has more fun laughing at how bad the film is than actually watching the film you should stay away!
