The Pang Brothers (Oxide and Danny) take Hollywood by storm with “The Messengers”, a horror movie about kids who sees ghosts and dumb ass adults who don’t. If you don’t know them, the Pangs are notable for their Asian horror movies, having been responsible for major hits like “The Eye” (soon to be remade into an American version, of course, as if you didn’t see it coming), “The Eye 2″, and just for kicks, “The Eye 10″. And if you haven’t seen “The Eye 6″ — oh boy, you’re missing out! But I digress. It looks like the same-o, same-o: ghost kids, spooky sounds, and probably a murder mystery that needs to be solved and blah blah blah. I have little hopes for this one, which is too bad, because I’m a major fan of the Pangs. I love me some Pangs.

In “The Messengers”, a family moves to a secluded farm and their youngest child begins communicating with malevolent spirits. Don’t you just hate it when that happens? I know I do. The film stars Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott, Penelope Ann Miller, and John Corbett, and opens February 2, 2007.
