  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Messengers is a 2007 psychological thriller starring a then relatively-unknown Kristen Stewart.

Roy Solomon (Dylan Mc Dermott), his wife Denise (Penelope Ann Miller), their teenage daughter Jessica (Kristen Stewart), and their little son Ben move from Chicago to an old farm in North Dakota. The family is struggling financially because Roy has been unemployed for a long time. There was also a car accident that has caused serious problems for Ben. Roy plants sunflowers and hires the stranger Burwell to help him until the harvest. When Jess sees ghosts and poltergeists in the house, her parents do not believe her. She tries to prove that she is not insane or seeking attention and discovers the fate of the former owners.
