Haven't seen it, but tit won the weekend box office - which is good for all of us. The more money horror movies make, the more of them get made.

Of course there will be more bad ones as well, but we still have hope that the good ones will leak through.

I saw that it was number one and I have to agree with you. It looks a bit too "boogeyman-ish" to me with far too much CGI, plus it's rated PG-13. I'm looking forward to seeing some good horror in the upcoming year (I hope). Anyway, this one reminds me a bit of "Darkness" which was mediocre, in my opinion.

It wasn't made by Sam Raimi.
It was produced (funded) by Sam Raimi.
Otherwise he had no connection; and yes... it is terrible

it's really strange how he makes such wonderfully entertaining films, yet produces such lame PG13 dreck. I know he has a rather profound love of cheese (Xena, Hercules, etc) but I'm constantly surprised that he doesn't exert a little more creative controll over product with his name on it.

Boogeyman, anyone?

I have no faith in Ghost House...just cause Sam is involved to some extent does not mean they make much of anything worth watching.

I'm sick of so called horror movies being PG-13. Lame! Unless of course, it's more suspense, like hitchcock. The Messengers looks like a movie I could make in my attic. I have lots of ghosts up there.
