Best movie of this year hands down!

Wow! Such a good movie.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

John Rollins (Norman Reedus) is under pressure with his failing family farm. He has his wife Mary (Heather Stephens), daughter Lindsey (Claire Holt) and son Michael (Laurence Belcher). His farm is over-run with crows. He finds a creepy scarecrow in the barn to scare the crows. His son wants him to get rid of it. His new neighbor Jude Weatherby (Richard Riehle) convinces him to put it up. He hears voices. All the crows die. Sleazy banker George Chapman comes with an offer to buy him out. The broken water pump starts working again. The banker dies getting run over by a truck. There seems to be an evil possessing John. He grows more jealous of his wife's friend Tommy.It's questionable if this is related to the first movie. It's just as well. The first one wasn't any good. This one is a little better. It has some personal drama that's not relying on a cheap reveal. The scarecrow is an old cliché but that's not a problem. I do like Reedus but he doesn't have enough range to project a big creepy change. I like the story in this one slightly better than the original but the production quality is straight-to-video level.

Tired, predictable, and dull for stretches. It's never scary or suspenseful. The acting is weak, with Norman Reedus trying his best as the lead character but he's just woefully miscast here. He's about as believable as a farmer as he would be as the King of England. His son in the movie is played by an annoying child actor. Claire Holt plays his daughter in her movie debut. The role isn't great but she's fine in it. The wife character is terrible and there just to service a few clichés. So much of this feels I have seen it before in better movies. On the (very shallow) plus side, Darcy Fowers has a couple of very nice nude scenes. Hey, that's something, right?

I was one few who really liked The Messengers (2007), I thought had some great moment, There were good remember scenes in that movie, the ghost come out of the wall was really creepy. I know this movie is meant to be prequel about total different story about evil Scarecrow,It' not connected to first movie at all. I have only seen one other scarecrow movie that was Jeepers Creepers, which is was much better and scary one. This was my second time I saw this movie, I did not remember much of first watch and I just saw this two days ago, it is very forgettable movie. I did not all plot of story was really dull, I did not find Scare crow scary at all.However I liked the little twist they had in the movie which I never saw coming, The ending of the movie felt way to rushed! Acting was decent from most of cast 3 out of 10

OK, firstly, why on earth and how on earth did this movie get the title "Messengers 2"???? It had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the original movie, except for the fact they live in a house on a farm! Basically, you have a family on a farm who are hard up for cash and fighting! The dad decides to stick a scarecrow (that he found in the barn) into the crop, in the hope of saving some corn! He does this against his son's wishes (even though we never find out why)! The scarecrow then takes it upon himself to reap vengeance on all that crosses the dad! Including the crows! This movie was ridiculous! The original Messengers was creepy and had a good story! This is just laughable! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
