The Messengers


The Messengers
A Chicago family ups and moves to a desolate farm, where the teenage daughter is none too impressed with her new surrounding. As they settle down, they start to become aware that there are odd goings-on in the house. The little boy seems amused and amazed by things no one else can see. When the daughter finds her body has become a target for violence by forces unknown, she decides to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late.
