I saw The Messengers the other day. It was only $2, which is about what it was worth. It had a few scary parts, but totally missed the point of the Asian horror films that it was so clearly derived from (that the horror you get drawn into frequently has nothing to do with you, that the initial revenge that spawns the horror is long over, etc).
Chaos, by Hideo Nakata, was much better. A twisty crime thriller.
Also saw the 1981 crime movie Body Heat last night. William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Lawrence Kasdan writing and directing. If you like crime movies, this is a great one.
