adonis98-743-186503 An architect's desire to speak with his wife from beyond the grave, becomes an obsession with supernatural repercussions. White Noise is one of those low budget horror films that you think it's going to be truly awful and it turns out to be quite damn good and it all has to do with Michael Keaton's character who tries to contact with his dead wife but what finds is much more terrifying than what he was expecting. The acting is pretty good and Keaton's performance is really powerful and he sells with his emotion, Deborah Kara Unger who helps him threw out his quest is also good although her character and Keaton's character deserved a much better and happier ending which brings me to the flaws: The ending is what i hate about horror films in general and i didn't liked it that much also the movie is kinda slow paced which isn't a bad thing since it's all mostly based on communication with the dead so i understand why they did that. It's not the scariest movie ever made but it's definitely not one of the worst ones and it's easily better than the mediocre sequel that they released 2 years after this. Overall 'White Noise' won't win everyone and it can't win everyone but it's a much better thriller than your casual average horror film and Michael Keaton is Fantastic as always!!!
keyser soze I don't know why it has just 5.5/10 points.... I saw the movie on vacations, a dark night, I began to hear noises everywhere, my god, what a moment. For me the movie paid what it promises: it promises fear, so you get fear. Perhaps the context has much to do, I don't know. The characters are believable, and I found it very well conceived
mailofthefuture This was the scariest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Take that for whatever it's worth.And if the actual movie wasn't already scary enough, to make things even more horrifying, my television set turned off within minutes after the movie ended. I was never able to get it to work again, and it wasn't even 2 years old. True story I swear to God.That was back in 2005. Finally, almost 10 years later I saw White Noise again for the 2nd time last night. It really is that bad azz, mainly because it touches on a supernatural phenomenon, then offers tons of scientific evidence to back-up the story's validity.I would only recommend this movie to people that spiritually are well grounded and have some backbone, people that have strong convictions about their beliefs regarding the unknown. And for anybody else, if curiosity twists your arm past the point of no return, just try to remember that after all, it is still only a movie. Regardless of how real the content actually is, it's a horror movie, so Hollywood is behind it specifically aiming to scare the be-Jesus out of you. Like with alien movies, 99% of them portray aliens as evil, when in actuality, 99% of them are actually friendly and have been assisting humans ever since the Earth was seeded for life billions of years ago. Just like you'll never see movies that show aliens building the pyramids when they really did, you'll never see movies about speaking to the dead that have happy endings, even though there have been many very successful mediums and psychics helping people speak to their deceased in non-scary ways since the beginning of time. Yes, White Noise is a must-see. Just don't watch it alone!!
Rob Malecki Despite its many down points (and there are several) and obvious borrowings from Spiehlberg's Poltergeist, this film manages to hold its own identity among the touchy subject of supernatural thrillers, a genre that is quite good at falling into clichés. Our story begins with a simple quote and static-y opening sequence-a pertinent and interesting opener to an interesting movie. Geoffrey Sax's unique directorial style becomes very clear within the first few minutes, including shots from angles uncommonly seen from the human eye and several long fades-which can be awkward at times. However, Sax does a great job at directing the emotion in Michael Keaton's struggle with his wife's passing. However, as soon as Anna dies and we start seeing this EVP maniac for the first time, the plot becomes really incomprehensible. Due to limited dialog with Anna's spirit through the static, the plot becomes so garbled it takes a lot of thinking to tell what's going on. However, if you can comprehend this screwed-up second act Niall Johnson crapped out, you will be rewarded with Geoffrey Sax's superior direction of suspense, character reaction, and stuff popping out at you. His style almost echoes that of terror master Sam Raimi, sometimes building you up to where you know something's going to pop out at you and you know from where, and you brace yourself, and it just...doesn't...happen.So overall, if you're not a perfectionist and can stand a really messed- up, disjointed script, watch this film because of the interesting story, excellent acting, and superior direction. You won't regret it.
