Title: Above Par PG-13 Horror Flick
Review: The Ring proved that horror movies rated PG-13 can be scary. Since then there have been oodles of movies following the format. Some have been good, some have not. The Messengers falls on the good side, in my opinion. It's not a great thriller, but it has its moments.I agree with another reviewer that said they were tired of the Grudge-esque black and white stop motion ghosts. There are plenty of them in this movie, but the effect is slightly better than most. One particularly good scene is when Ben sees one of the ghosts in his spoon.There were plenty of jump out and scare ya moments with a decent hit/miss ratio. A few scenes were drawn out too long, and the eventual scare doesn't amount to much.The acting is fine...it should be with Dylan McDermott, John Corbett, and the up and coming star Kristen Stewart. Stewart stands out, but the movie is centered around her.I enjoyed the movie. It's a pretty enjoyable 90 minutes with some good scares.
