Today I'll show you a Horror-Thriller film: "The Messengers"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins in an aging country farmhouse with the Rollins family
The mother, Mary, brings her son inside the room
Mary assures her son that everything will be fine, since she is here with her son
Mary tries to hush the son
She gets a suitcase under the bed
Suddenly the door shakes, and the knob turns slowly
Mary hides the son under the bed
As the door violently opens, the son from under the bed, sees a dark shadow from an unseen force
The unseen force attacks Mary, and slams her against the wall
It leaves blood on the wall
The son runs to the hallway, and the also terrified daughter stops him, and asks where their mother is
The daughter looks inside the room where the son has been
, and sees that everything inside is ruined, including the bed
The daughter sees a dark shadow across the room
The two of them eventually run downstairs in fear, as the unseen force pursues them
As the two of them run downstairs,
the unseen force pushes the daughter against the banister of the stairs,
causing her to fall on the floor
The son hides under a table, and sees the unseen force dragging the daughter to the cellar
The son then hides inside a cupboard
Suddenly, the cupboard door opens; and the unseen force violently grabs him as he lets out a scream
Years later, a new family moves into the same farmhouse
As the family gets out of their car, they see the run-down façade of their new house
Roy, the father, assures his family that the façade is not the same as the inside
Jess, the elder daughter, begins to explore the house and discovers a locked cellar door,
which she tries to open, but it doesn't budge
She lets go of it, and proceeds upstairs, where she peeks through the window,
and sees a bunch of crows outside
Her father eventually calls her, and tells her to help her mother unload their stuff
Jess then sees a toy tractor inside a cupboard
She tries reaching it at the corner of the cupboard
To her surprise, the toy tractor moves to her without someone moving it
Later that evening, Jess expresses her negative feelings about the house
Roy consoles her by saying that the only way it will work, is to give it a chance
The following day, a realtor from the bank visits Roy,
and tells him that the bank is offering to buy their place
with an additional percentage from its original price
Roy refuses and tells the realtor that they just got the place,
and try to find stability by tending the farm that comes along with the house
Meanwhile, as Denise, Roy's wife, continues cleaning the inside of the house,
Denise flips the bedsheets; and as it makes waves, Ben, Roy's son,
sees a pale and blood pair of legs under the bedsheets, but it eventually disappears
Denise also finds a big stain on the wall of their room
She brushes it and successfully removes it
Later, Roy finds Ben manages to get out of his crib all by himself
Roy notices that Ben keeps on looking at the ceiling of his room
He tucks Ben to his crib
When Roy gets out of the room, Ben begins crying
The next day, Denise wakes up, and immediately notices that the big stain on the wall goes back
Meanwhile, Roy and Jess go to town
Roy begins to purchase sunflower seeds for the farm,
while Jess walks around and meets Bobby, a town resident
At their house, while Denise is cleaning the dishes, Ben is eating cereal
As Ben puts his spoon up, he sees a reflection of a pale crawling figure
He turns around to see it, but there is no one behind him
After a moment, Ben sees the pale crawling figure on the ceiling
He follows the figure, which leads him to the front of the cellar door
Ben is about to open the cellar door, when Denise picks him up and tells him to finish his cereal
Roy and Jess arrive home
As Roy unloads his car, the realtor from the bank appears in front of him
The realtor asks Roy if they will accept the purchase offer
Roy dismissively tells the realtor that they will stay in the house
Inside the house, Denise asks Jess to put the boxes in the hallway to the cellar
While holding a box, Jess tries to open the cellar, but it still won't open
She places the box on the floor; and when she returns, the door opens by itself
Outside, Roy comes out of the barn to see that a group of crows enters his car,
and starts to eat the sunflower seeds
He tries to dismiss them with hands, but one of the crows pecks at him
He then throws rocks at them; and eventually, the group of crows flies away
Jess continues to explore the cellar, and finds a pocket watch
Afterward, she hears a noise and investigates it
She finds what looks like a dead crow
She gets a piece of wood, and tries to touch the crow; but it wakes up and surprises her
The crow flies and finds its way outside
Meanwhile, as Roy continues unloading his car, a group of crows attacks him
The crows stay away from him when they hear gunshots
The gunshots come from John, who happens to pass by their house
John introduces himself to Roy
Denise and Jess go outside to check on Roy
Roy then introduces John to his family, and hires him to work for them
Roy tells John that he won't pay John until the harvest is sold;
but he promises John that he will provide meals for him
Months pass by
John continues to help Roy tend his sunflower field
One afternoon, Denise leaves Jess to take care of Ben,
while bringing Roy to the hospital to receive stitches for the cut on Roy's hands
that he got from operating the tractor
As they leave, Jess notices lots of crows on the roof of their house
Later that evening, while cooking dinner, Jess feels that someone is upstairs
She is about to check when the banister of the stairs falls
She immediately runs to Ben
All of their furniture inside the house begins to break, and fly by itself across the room
She calls the police, and it advises her to get out of the house immediately
She drops the phone, when she sees Ben walking away and following the toy tractor moving by itself
The toy tractor leads Ben to the cellar
Jess follows Ben to the cellar, but Ben is not there
She eventually sees Ben in the hallway
As Jess is about to come to Ben, pairs of pale hands grab her to the cellar
The pairs of pale hands eventually let her go
She picks Ben up; and with the help of John, they manage to go outside
The police arrive at their house
Roy and Denise follow and ask what happened
The police tell Roy that Jess describes a lot of damages;
but there is nothing inside that supports her claims
The police also tell Roy that they will let this pass,
and classify it as a false alarm and not a deliberate hoax
As the police leave, Jess insists on telling the truth, but Denise and Roy don't believe her
The next day, she goes to Bobby, and talks to him about the house
Bobby mentions the cellar being haunted
Jess arrives home and goes to the cellar
As she walks around the cellar, dark sticky mud begins to flood the floor
Jess tries to get out, but then sees a pale woman with a broken face
The pale woman tries to grab her in dark sticky mud; but she eventually escapes
Jess then confides with John, and tells him that she thinks that a woman died in the cellar
One afternoon, Jess sees movements in the sunflower fields
She follows it, leading her to the barn
She finds a pale child facing the wall
Jess approaches the child; and it attacks her
The attack leaves bruises and lacerations on her legs
Afterward, Roy and Denise bring her to the hospital
The doctor inquires if Jess has had any personal troubles, that may lead her to harm herself
Denise reveals that she has suffered from emotional difficulties during their time in Chicago
On the way home, Jess confesses that there are pale people in the house,
and that they are the ones who assaulted her
However, Roy isn't buying it, claiming that she is the one who hurt herself
After arguing with her parents in the car, Jess walks into the house,
and notices that the pocket watch she found in the cellar opens by itself,
revealing a woman's photograph within
Meanwhile, Roy and Denise fight about the relocation to the country and the complications it brings,
especially when Roy turns down an opportunity to sell the farm to an unknown individual
for fifteen percent more than they paid for it, without informing Jess
After hearing a thud from upstairs, Roy checks on Jess
To his surprise, Jess is nowhere to be found
Jess sets out on her bike and bumps with Bobby, who is driving a truck
They go into town in his truck together,
and talk about how she believes the Rollins didn't just end up leaving the house, but died
Jess then tells Bobby the account of her drunk driving accident,
which resulted in Ben's hospitalization
Ben hasn't been able to speak since
Ben's therapy has exacerbated the family's financial strains, but it did not give positive results
Back at the house, Denise is having a conversation with Ben
Suddenly, Ben gestures straight toward the barn
Denise gets curious and asks Ben what he is pointing at, and eventually asks what he sees
Ben makes a terrifying expression
His eyes are drawn down with his fingers
Meanwhile, the crows return in large groups, and attack John while working at the sunflower fields
The crows eventually peck him to almost death, but he eventually survives
Back at the house, Denise is putting Ben to bed when she hears a cracking sound
She turns around to see a pale womanly figure appear in a human shape from the stain on the wall
In town, Jess and Bobby head to the town store to look at the daily newspaper clippings
Jess discovers a family portrait of the Rollins
To her surprise, she spots John in the photograph,
and concludes that he must have something to do with the Rollins family
Back at the farm, John reflects on his poor harvest before
He then remembers himself overcome by his predicament
As Denise prepares to move out of the house alongside Ben, John heads to the house
Denise reminds John of his wife and kids, who would have had to abandon him back then;
and John eventually assumes Denise is Mary, his wife
Denise with Ben hides in the cellar to get away from John
Jess and Bobby return from town, and look for Denise and Ben
They continue looking for Denise and Ben around the house with a small ax
John pursues them around the house, causing damage to the walls throughout the chase
John catches Bobby, and knocks him down
Eventually, Jess runs down to the cellar, and finds Denise and Ben hiding there
John manages to break the door with the pitchfork
He continues to pursue them in the cellar
After a while, Roy returns to the house, and goes to the cellar
He finds Jess; but John stabs him in the back with a pitchfork
Jess fights John with a coal shovel
However, John is much stronger than her
John throws Jess to the other side of the room
Denise gets out of hiding and is about to attack John; but John manages to hit her first
John again attacks Jess; and he is about to stab Jess with a pitchfork
Meanwhile, the floor is beginning to flood with dark sticky mud again
Jess avoids the pitchfork, and it misses her
Jess kicks John to the dark sticky mud
Three pale figures appear in the dark sticky mud
resembling Mary, the son, and the daughter of the Rollins family
The three evil spirits drag John down into the dark sticky mud, trying to drown and kill him
It's revealed that John, the father of the Rollins family,
killed his whole family brutally in the same house years ago
That's why the house is later haunted by their ghosts,
who are lingering in the house as the spirit messengers,
trying to vent their anger and warn the new move-in family of the past tragedy
However, all of a sudden, John emerges from the mud, and grabs Jess' foot
Fortunately, Roy and Denise manage to help Jess out
Afterward, the police and paramedics arrive and assist the family;
and the house is seemingly turned back to normal
after the three ghosts' revenge on the brutal father, John
The movie ends with Roy and Denise staying at the house,
and tending to their growing sunflower farm; while Jess is taking care of Ben, who can now utter words
Bobby is also helping the family with their farm
Crows begin to fly in a flock around the house and fly away
We can see that as the family navigates their new house,
they also navigate their relationship with each other
It is also apparent how at the same time, the ghosts are revealed;
it also reveals the conflicts lying within their family
