Ty Burr
The MessengersI/i is textbook, and the course it's teaching is HSL: Horror as a Second Language.
Nigel Floyd
Many of the images feel over-familiar, and the shocks a mite too forced.
Christy Lemire
No one says, "Gimme the bat, Wendy," or, "Here's Johnny!" But they come close.
Melissa Anderson
The well-amplified scares are so perfunctory as to be laughable. 'What's up with the crows?' bitches Kristen Stewart, clearly not up on her Hitchcock or any Asian thriller of the past ten years.
Gregory Kirschling
The Asian-horror-movie moment feels long since passed, both here and abroad. Let our zombies walk or even sprint again! Give our creepy kids back their pupils!
Andrea Gronvall
Sadly, the movie just doesn't deliver chills.

Tirdad Derakhshani
[The film is] hampered by hauntingly lame performances by McDermott and Miller, who phone in their parts, and a screenplay that has the sophistication and complexity of a college dorm message board.
