| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderScary awful. It's a new genre I just made up. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerThe only message worth relaying about The Messengers is: Avoid. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterEven though The Messengers turns out to be deeply and irrevocably flawed, it's still the best movie Ghost House has released to date |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfFor every one moment of genuinely built suspense, the Pang Brothers chase it with at least three follow-up scenes of either out-loud stupidity or baffling tedium. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekJust dumb formula, and even the Pang brothers' technique can't raise it above the humdrum. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...just what is that Asian girl ghost doing in a Nebraska barn? |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerRelies way too much on cheap, nerve-jangling sound effects and musical stings to juice up the film's tepid, PG-13 proceedings. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasThe Pang Brothers' sense of style often overcomes the lack of substance in this derivative scarefest. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsIf The Messengers means to say something about all this familial and social dysfunction, that point is lost among hackneyed, decidedly unscary gyrations. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrThe first half is very well done, making it one of the best haunted house movies since The Grudge. |
