White Noise review by Shatner's Bassoon
A very effective chiller!

White Noise isn't your usual horror film. Decidedly unique and with some very solid twists, the movie revolves around the character of Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton), an architect who loses his wife in a freak accident. When approached by Raymond Price, a man who claims he has heard messages from Jonathan's dead wife via the phenomenon of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). Jonathan himself soon becomes obsessed with the phenomenon, recording his own tapes and then viewing and listening to them for hidden messages. Suddenly, the messages become clear and take on an altogether different meaning.
The film very much has look and feel of an Asian horror movie, very dark, bleak, and set in an industrial/urban setting, so if you enjoyed films like Kairo, Audition, or Ringu, White Noise will be right up your street.
Be prepared though, White Noise is one of those films where what you get out of it is proportional to what you put in. Watch it with a cynical mind and you’ll be disappointed. However, watch it late at night, in a dark room, with an open mind, and prepare yourself for a genuinely unnerving and unsettling film which will hold your imagination throughout!

White Noise review by Mikey C
Shoulda Been So Good... just Static

Great use of TV static, a tormented central performance by Keaton but a plot that, in the end, fails the stylish buildup with a nonsensical illogical resolution.
It's ok to be mysterious and creepy but you've got to do better than this to make a satisfactory scarefest.

White Noise review by Andy P
Sadly Lacking
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
On the face of it this looked like it was going to be a decent enough film. As it turned out it was quite poor, depsite some interesting cinematography and the occasional spasm of suspense. The plot was full of holes and by the end I was staring at the ceiling quite a bit as the predictability factor kicked in. If you are a real horror buff you may get some value out of it but the flawed plot and over egged CGI graphics in the finale did for me,

White Noise review by Chris Barnes
A little disappointing
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
The premise sounded excellent but the reality never quite matched up to it. It seemed a little slow and the plot never seemed to really involve you. I thought Michael Keaton and Ian McNeice were excellent but the whole was somehow unsatisfying.

Well acted, though some parts of the plot are very predictable.

Couldn't hear what was being said so didn't understand - just like truly listening to interference for 2 hrs - not fun!! Scary jumpy bits interspersed with the crackling at times!
