I just watched The Messengers. It was okay I guess but the dad in it was stupid even by horror movie standards. "Why hello strange man who showed up on my farm out of the blue with a gun, would you like to work for me and live in my house with my family despite the fact that I know absolutely nothing about you?" Not to mention moving his family into a big scary old house in the middle of nowhere to start with. "This place looks nice and isolated and potentially haunted. If the ghosts don't get us the transient I just hired will."
