The Messenger

Children see what adults can´t. The Solomon family moves from Chicago to a house in the middle of nowhere. The normal problems appear that parents have with their teenage daughter. So here we go, Jess finds out that there are ghost in the house but of course none of her parents believes her. Her little brother, that stopped talking after an accident can also see those paranormal phenomenas. They both walk through the house at night, trying to find/ trying to be found. The scary happenings become rough, what is in this strange cellar going on and who is the guy that helps the father with the sunflower crop? I liked this movie very much and I would not have guessed so, I watched it in the Sneak Preview. First most of the action happen during daytime while the sun is shining, but it is still so scary. The the plot (even though I thought so in the beginning) is not clear and there are some surprises. The start is the best: big zoom, black and white, sreaming and killing. Nothing about building up tension slowly. Some things are stolen from other horrormovies, but it´s ok, I can accept that.
