White Noise

Pros: Michael Keaton. Interesting story that did keep me guessing.
Cons: Too many obvious scare moments. Some things not resolved. Different from what I expected.

People deal with the death of loved ones in different ways. Some believe it is possible to contact whom they lost and try many things in an effort to make contact. Other people don't believe that anything like that is possible. Losing someone is very ...

Pros: The little boy.
Cons: Too much time looking at blurry computer screens

I saw the previews to White Noise and it looked really good. My son and I decided to go see it this afternoon. I was sorely disappointed in it. It was SLOW to get started and when it finally got a bit exciting, it ended. The Plot I ...

Pros: This is some scary sh!!!t
Cons: The key word is that last one.

There is something about not knowing what to expect from a movie that often adds to its appeal. But I think White Noise must be an exception to this rule. Of course, if I had known what to expect, I probably would never have bothered going to ...

Pros: A somewhat creepy psychological thriller with a couple of moments that will make you jump.
Cons: Not realistic – even in not realistic terms of communicating with the dead.

If our personality survives, then it is strictly logical or scientific to assume that it retains memory, intellect, other faculties, and knowledge that we acquire on this Earth. Therefore... if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected ...

Pros: good production values and composition
Cons: lame story and uneven direction

It is possible to construct an apparatus which will be so delicate that if there are personalities in another existence or sphere who wish to get in touch with us in this existence or sphere, this apparatus will at least give them a better ...

Pros: decent performances, great premise
Cons: crappy execution, lame writing, wreck the entire film in the final act

In a perfect world, White Noise would have been a taut psychological thriller that fulfilled the promise of its premise. Alas, we do not live in a perfect world, and much like the other cool psychological thriller concept of the last six ...

Pros: good idea for the story, Chandre West
Cons: lousy script, horrid direction, terrible special effects

I recently won a month subscription to NetFlix. My husband and I decided to go through their titles and choose some movies to watch over the weekend. The first we chose was White Noise, a thriller released in ...

Pros: Good acting, some scary, suspenseful moments.
Cons: Fear is inconsistent, some credibility issues.

There is something deeply psychologically disturbing about static, whether that static takes the form of ominous crackling during a telephone conversation, or images on the television screen blinking in and out of focus, alternating with hazy, horizontal ...

Pros: Pretty well written and it has Michael Keaton. He does a great job.
Cons: The ending wasn't what I wanted.

"If our personality survives, then it is strictly logical and scientific to assume that it retains memory, intellect, and other faculties and knowledge that we acquire on this earth. Therefore, if personality exists after what we call death, it's ...

Pros: *sounds of a cricket
Cons: plot holes, boring, uninteresting

Thrillers such as “White Noise” which open with a history lesson usually start in a ditch and must work its way up if the audience is going to react positively. But supernatural suspense thrillers shouldn’t have to build a case to justify its production. ...

Pros: The story, direction and Keaton.
Cons: The ending is tough.

Michael Keaton plays John, a successful architect who is married to Anna, a successful author. They have a young son and as the film begins- Anna informs John, another is on the way. They are deeply in love and as she leaves to drive off to work, she ...

Pros: An interesting idea
Cons: The execution of the interesting idea

The idea is scary. The trailers were scary. Some of the moments in the film are a little scary. Overall though, yeah, not so much with the scary. I was curious to see White Noise since I did think the trailers were intriguing but it ended up being a ...

Pros: a few isolated scares and one creepy moment
Cons: horrible script and bad bad ending

"White Noise" directed by Geoffrey Sax written by Niall Johnson Michael Keaton .... Jonathan Rivers Chandra West .... Anna Rivers Deborah Kara Unger .... Sarah Tate Ian McNeice .... Raymond Price Sarah Strange .... Jane Nicholas Elia ...

Pros: Great premise and a few scary sequences.
Cons: Never really describes EVP. Too much time watching static. Who/what are the bad guys?

There's something innately eerie about connecting with the other side's inhabitants - the dead. This film examines E.V.P. or Electronic Voice Phenomenon. Jonathan Rivers (played by Michael Keaton) is a successful architect who has everything. He's a ...

Pros: Michael Keaton, the suspense.
Cons: The plots and sub-plots become kind of hard to follow in places.

It's safe to say I live in the middle of nowhere or just a bit northeast of it. The nearest movie theater is about 30 miles away and I consider it a treat to myself to actually find a movie playing there that I want to see. Well, White Noise was not ...
