Those wacky Pang brothers are at it
again, this time with the psychological thriller THE MESSENGERS.
The story is as follows:
There is evidence to suggest
that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomenon. They can see
what adults cannot, they believe what adults deny. In
THE MESSENGERS, a suspense thriller
starring Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott, Penelope Anne Miller and John
Corbett, the Solomon family has left big city life for a secluded farm in North
Dakota. Soon after they arrive at their new home, 16 year-old Jess and her 3
year-old brother begin seeing ominous apparitions that no one else can see, and
are repeatedly attacked by something from the other side. Now they must try
desperately to warn the rest of the family before it’s too late. Directed by
the Pang Brothers (The Eye,
Bangkok Dangerous) and produced by
Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, William Sherak and Jason Shuman.
The trailer is
online now and available for viewing
here, but much like the trailer for TCM:THE
BEGINNING, it can only be viewed between 10pm and 5am, which I believe is one of
the worst marketing ideas ever.
Besides that, the movie does seem like it might be ok, and the Pang brothers do
have a unique filming style. THE MESSENGERS hits theatres February 2, just in
time for Groundhog day!
