This is a Prequel, it is the story of John Rollins. He was the hired help from the first movie, the one that turned out to be the bad guy who killed his family. This movie was ok as a standalone movie, in my opinion they should have changed the name of the family and just be Messengers 2, another family living in the same house. But as it is, I didn't like it because they didn't stick to the plot of the original.
In this movie you see John Rollins, his wife Mary, his son and daughter living in the farm house trying to grow a corn crop that the crows seem bent on eating faster then he can grow it. He finds a scarecrow in the barn and despite his son's eerily predictions that its a bad thing and pleas to get rid of it he puts it up in the field and immediately his luck changes. The crows die off but so does everybody who is any kind of threat to him. They end up dead with their belongs in the cornfield close by to this scarecrow. To the banker who was going to forclose on the farm, to the guy he thinks is trying to zero in on his wife during their marriage problems.
What gets me is in the first movie you KNOW he ends up slaughtering his family as she tries to leave him yet in the prequell the family conquors all evil, patches their marriage and lives happily ever after? HA!
