There is evidence to suggest that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomenon.They can see what adults cannot.They believe what adults deny.And they are trying to warn us.“Supremely creepy”*** David Edwards, Daily MirrorThe godfathers of modern horror, DANNY and QXIDE PANG (The Eye), make their highly-anticipated English-language directorial debut alongside acclaimed producer SAM RAIMI (The Grudge, The Evil Dead) with THE MESSENGERS, a tense and terrifying blend of American horror and Asian extreme cinema.
A number one box office smash hit in the U.S., and a chillingly successful U.K. cinema shocker, THE MESSENGERS eerily demonstrates how nothing is what it seems on the Solomon farm, where the story is set. What goes bump in the night happens by day. Tranquillity is the haven for terror, and the harbingers of doom are gravely underestimated. Here the ghost genre is turned inside out, influenced and enhanced in large part by the Pang brothers’ real life brush with the paranormal, and you can experience the fear for yourself with the eagerly anticipated 30 July 2007 rental and 13 August 2007 retail DVD release.
The susceptibility to, and unique awareness of, supernatural and paranormal phenomenon is often more evident in children, who are exceptionally sensitive to their environment. They can perceive what many cannot and can sense paranormal activity. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in THE MESSENGERS, where the fear factor leaves you gasping for breath, where the silence becomes unbearable and where daylight provides no protection whatsoever when that feeling of not being alone begins to overwhelm you.
Watch THE MESSENGERS and find out if you are one of these “exceptional people”, if you dare
THE MESSENGERS stars KIRSTEN STEWART (Panic Room) as Jess, the daughter of Roy and Denise Solomon, played by DYLAN McDERMOTT (Wonderland) and PENELOPE ANN MILLER (Along Came a Spider), with JOHN CORBETT (Tombstone, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) playing field hand John Burwell. After two tough years in Chicago, the Solomon family retreats to a desolate sunflower farm in North Dakota. The calm that farm life brings them is shattered when 16-year-old Jess and her 2-year-old brother Ben begin to see nightmarish apparitions, visions that nobody else can see. Jess must battle with forces from beyond the grave in a desperate bid to save her family and prove her sanity.
