Taking place on the same farm (although it�s now a cornfield), the film states it will give the backstory to The Messengers, however it really has nothing to do with the original story.
Directed by Martin Barnewitz and written by Todd Farmer (are those last names a strange coincidence or what?), this straight to DVD prequel tells the story of John Rollins, a North Dakota farmer whose crops are dying because of a failed water pump causing the bank to threaten foreclosure.
His loving wife is along for support, as well as his teenage daughter and tween son. When he finds a creepy scarecrow behind a hidden panel in the barn, he decides to use it to scare away the crows that are eating his crops. And soon enough, his luck begins to change and things start going splendidly.
The flip side is that his personality starts to go on the fritz and he starts having hallucinations, hearing voices ("If you build it, he will come"?), and becoming increasingly unhinged and violent.
Add into the mix a strange neighbor with a porn-star wife and an old flame of John�s wife, and things start getting messy. When people start dying in the cornfield, all fingers point to John. Is he really a killer? Is it in his head? Or is there something not quite right about that damned scarecrow?
The film is shot very well and the acting by the leads if fairly strong, but not much happens and the story just sort of plods along. The gratuitous nudity is embarrassing as is the actress they chose to keep taking her clothes off, because she is also required to speak which is clearly difficult for her.
What�s funny about the movie is the director�s choices. First of all, certain characters talk as if they are in some movie from the 20�s.
When John�s new neighbor comes to visit, he speaks of helping "Old Widow So-and So" and tells John he should pawn a watch he found "to buy a pretty dress for that daughter of yours." Are we in the Old West?
Hilariously, his son is the strangest of the choices. About 10 years old, he first shows up when John drags the unnerving scarecrow out of the barn.
Clutching a stuffed bunny (apparently a basketball would be too butch) he looks at the scarecrow and says, "What�s that daddy?" His father explains what a scarecrow is (really?) and the boy replies, "I don�t like it, daddy. It�s bad, daddy."
Because the boy�s voice is high-pitched and his repeated use of the word "daddy" I couldn�t help but imagine him clutching a Mint Julep and woozily standing a few feet from the scarecrow speaking in a heavy southern drawl, "You need to get rid of that raggedy thing, daddy," and then retiring to the house, pacing back and forth on the 2nd floor veranda wearing a big hat and a drinking a martini.
Ultimately, the movie devolves into a killer scarecrow story which deflates the psychological aspects of the first two thirds of the film. Taking parts of The Shining, Field of Dreams, Children of the Corn, and the cult classic Scarecrows, Messengers 2 is kind of a mess. A pretty mess, but a mess nonetheless.
