Details

The family man farmer John Rollins is stressed with his financial situation: the crows and the lack of irrigation are destroying his crop of corn; the bank is near closure of his mortgage; he does not have credit to fix the water pump or to buy seeds; and his marriage is in crisis and his wife Mary is giving too much attention to her friend Tommy. When John accidentally discovers a hidden compartment in the barn, he finds a creepy scarecrow but his son Michael makes him promise to destroy it. However, his neighbor Jude Weatherby visits him, gives a six-pack of beer to the abstemious John and convinces him to put the scarecrow in the cornfield. Out of the blue, the life of John changes: the crows die; the pump works again irrigating the land; and the banker responsible for the closure has an accident and dies. However, he feels that his land is possessed by something evil that is threatening his beloved family.

JamesRutland OK I begun to see this movie without any expectation after reading many reviews, so I noted that it was simple but very well interpreted by the main actors. *** spoiler *** The story concerns with that strange scarecrow the main character gets from a inter-space of the barn, so strange events begin to happen in order to protect the wheat field: the crows die, the greedy banker dies, the wife suitor dies....and the main character feel voices and presences believing the scarecrow is responsible of those evil events. Two guests are present in the story and the viewer can be intrigued about their strange nature. Are they hallucinations or real spirits? What is their plane? However it seems that their presence depends on the scarecrow. Now the director, and or story-writer, loses one of the best CHANCE TO MAKE THIS MOVIE great. The real reason the 2 guests are intertwined with the scarecrow is not clear.... OK another possibility could be to unveil their importance during the story when the protagonist is clearly pervaded by visions becoming to unveil a possible dark nature. Now the director, and or the story writer, has 2 POSSIBILITY: 1) credible and reasonable; 2) stupid and absurd. The first choice concerns with the possibility that the protagonist is persuaded the scarecrow is responsible of the evil events although he is the scarecrow itself that is his dark nature. The second choice (the choice the director chooses): the scarecrow is the stupid monster who really killed people and animals to protect the field (why?) so to see that stupid creature moving in a clumsy way trying to kill the son of the protagonist after having killed other people.... however the strong boy will eliminate it provided by the farm tractor, he is brave, full of rage and determination making the movie really ridiculous and childish. At this point the movie is completely ruined missing of reality based only on the exaltation and the exhibition of emphasis. There is a scene before the disaster on this movie: the wife intervenes into the barn where her husband is talking with the aforementioned guests discovering that he is talking with none. The viewer begins to think that all that events origins from the mind of the farmer so that he is the killer of an imaginary reality generated into his sick mind (this choice would have been made the movie extraordinary) but that's not the case... unfortunately the scarecrow monster really exists making the movie completely stupid and bizarre. The acting of Norman Reedus and Heather Stephens deserves 10. Heather Stephens makes a real great job by her extraordinary recitation: 10+.
Matt Ryan OK, firstly, why on earth and how on earth did this movie get the title "Messengers 2"???? It had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the original movie, except for the fact they live in a house on a farm! Basically, you have a family on a farm who are hard up for cash and fighting! The dad decides to stick a scarecrow (that he found in the barn) into the crop, in the hope of saving some corn! He does this against his son's wishes (even though we never find out why)! The scarecrow then takes it upon himself to reap vengeance on all that crosses the dad! Including the crows! This movie was ridiculous! The original Messengers was creepy and had a good story! This is just laughable! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Michael-d-duncan I didn't expect to enjoy this flick. Typically, creature feature + STV = mildly entertaining dung heap. However this film was surprisingly good. Not a gore fest but a few nasty bits. This is more of a suspense thriller. It reminds me of the first Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street. They wanted to scare you not just gross you out. This film was a lot like that.The overall tone was creepy, I watched it on my computer on a Tuesday morning and was enthralled. It had some really creepy moments and it keeps you guessing until the end if this is just a plum crazy farmer, or a supernatural evil.I totally recommend this movie. It has nothing to do with the first Messengers which is disappointing although not horrible, but it captures the same kind of classic horror movie genre the first one did.
markv-23 With a movie being an hour and thirty four minutes long I like more horror action than just within the last ten minutes of the movie. Yes building up characters in a movie is very essential, but if it is the entire movie, it's not worth watching. I love horror movies, but give me a break. If you have time to kill or you just wanna see it so you can say you did, then go ahead. If you are looking for a movie with an interesting storyline, suspenseful horror, or any other reason to watch a good horror flick then this one is not for you. Save your money and borrow a copy from a friend. It's not even worth the rental fee. I feel as though I have lost I.Q. points just watching this.
