The Messengers
There is evidence to suggest that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomena. They see what adults cannot. They believe what adults deny. And they are trying to warn us.
Directed by Oxide Pang Chun, Danny Pang Phat
Produced by Screen Gems, Ghost House Pictures
A supernatural horror film centered on children's vulnerability to paranormal threats in an isolated rural setting, built on escalating dread and family discord.
When the Solomons trade in the craziness of big-city life for the quiet of a North Dakota farm, little do they expect the nightmare that follows. Soon after arriving, teenage Jess and her younger brother see terrifying apparitions and endure attacks from a supernatural source. Jess must warn her disbelieving family before it is too late to save them.
