The Messengers (2007)

"At the movie's beginning, a frightened woman is with her son, telling him that he has to be strong and that everything is going to be okay. She hears something coming towards the door and makes her son hide under the bed. The door bursts open and something throws the woman against the wall. The son, terrified, runs out of the room and into his sister, who is also scared. She grabs him and runs down the stairs. The boy hides under a table, but his sister is caught and dragged away, down into the cellar. The boy runs into the kitchen and hides in a cabinet, but he is soon found and killed as well.

Five years later, a new family is moving into the house from the city, hoping to start a sunflower farm. The main character, and daughter in the family, Jess Solomon (Kristen Stewart), is angry about having to move away from her friends. Previous to the movie, she had been driving drunk with her younger brother, Ben, a toddler at the time. In her intoxicated state, she caused an accident and since then Ben has been mute. However, her brother sees things the other people cannot... the ghosts of the family killed in the movie's opening scenes. To round out the characters, Jess' father, Roy, hires a man by the name of John Burwell to work on the farm.

Ominous events gradually build. First, the house always seems to have crows flying around it; some crows even attack Roy. Then, Jess has an encounter with one of the ghosts, the mother, in the closet. She calls 911 and the authorities come, only to find a terrified Jess. The police dismiss it as a false alarm and Jess' parents do not believe her either. While Ben saw what happened, being very young and mute he cannot confirm her story. Only Burwell supports her, as well as a teenage boy from town, Bobby, whom Jess befriends. Jess and Ben have more encounters with the ghosts haunting the house and Jess acquires some scars and bruises from one of them. Her parents think that her wounds are self-inflicted because she wants to leave the house, her life there being so much different from her old one, and will not believe her that ghosts are haunting it. Because her parents don't believe her tensions rise and Jess becomes determined to fix things."
