The first 'Messengers' was to be this story, where a man was influenced by a scarecrow, and was to be called 'The Scarecrow'. The end result of the first film ended up being a completely different story, with a different screenwriter given the writer's credit, with Todd Farmer receiving a 'story by' credit. Todd Farmer penned 'Messengers 2' and was this time given full credit as writer.
Filmed in 18 days.
Original budget was $15 Million. Ended up being shot for $2 Million in 18 days, staying under-budget after the finished product.
Filmed in Bulgaria. Every set was built, including the house, the barn, and the corn field on location.
This is the movie that forced Claire Holt to leave her regular role of Emma in the Australian TV series H2O: Just Add Water (2006). She left the role after Season Two of that series and her character was written out and replaced with Bella, a completely different character played by Indiana Evans.
