The Messenger is a 2015 British supernatural mystery horror film directed by David Blair, written by Andrew Kirk and starring Robert Sheehan and Lily Cole.

This, along the fact that he constantly drinks, has his current soul companion, a high-profile reporter by the name of Mark, worrying that his message to his recently widowed wife, Sarah, won't be genuinely received.

Jack is taken to see a psychiatrist and is made to retell his story, eventually discovering that his father hadn't killed himself because of his mother, but that he was projecting his own bitterness and hatred for her.

The story ends with the reappearance of Billy and the ghost, while, at the same time, Emma, in the midst of cleaning Jack's apartment, finds a newspaper clipping detailing the death of a boy in her swimming pool.

[3] David Clack in Time Out gave it one star (out of five), "The Messenger offers not a single fresh idea, nor the faintest glimmer of hope that something smart is around the corner".
