Messengers 2: The Scarecrow (2009 Video)

the last part completely ruins the movie (10 main actors recitation)

[2/10 · 14 July 2017]

OK I begun to see this movie without any expectation after reading many reviews, so I noted that it was simple but very well interpreted by the main actors. *** spoiler *** The story concerns with that strange scarecrow the main character gets from a inter-space of the barn, so strange events begin to happen in order to protect the wheat field: the crows die, the greedy banker dies, the wife suitor dies....and the main character feel voices and presences believing the scarecrow is responsible of those evil events. Two guests are present in the story and the viewer can be intrigued about their strange nature. Are they hallucinations or real spirits? What is their plane? However it seems that their presence depends on the scarecrow. Now the director, and or story-writer, loses one of the best CHANCE TO MAKE THIS MOVIE great. The real reason the 2 guests are intertwined with the scarecrow is not clear.... OK another possibility could be to unveil their importance during the story when the protagonist is clearly pervaded by visions becoming to unveil a possible dark nature. Now the director, and or the story writer, has 2 POSSIBILITY: 1) credible and reasonable; 2) stupid and absurd. The first choice concerns with the possibility that the protagonist is persuaded the scarecrow is responsible of the evil events although he is the scarecrow itself that is his dark nature. The second choice (the choice the director chooses): the scarecrow is the stupid monster who really killed people and animals to protect the field (why?) so to see that stupid creature moving in a clumsy way trying to kill the son of the protagonist after having killed other people.... however the strong boy will eliminate it provided by the farm tractor, he is brave, full of rage and determination making the movie really ridiculous and childish. At this point the movie is completely ruined missing of reality based only on the exaltation and the exhibition of emphasis. There is a scene before the disaster on this movie: the wife intervenes into the barn where her husband is talking with the aforementioned guests discovering that he is talking with none. The viewer begins to think that all that events origins from the mind of the farmer so that he is the killer of an imaginary reality generated into his sick mind (this choice would have been made the movie extraordinary) but that's not the case... unfortunately the scarecrow monster really exists making the movie completely stupid and bizarre. The acting of Norman Reedus and Heather Stephens deserves 10. Heather Stephens makes a real great job by her extraordinary recitation: 10+.
