Divorced architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) seems to lead a pretty good life with partial custody of his young son and a happy second marriage to Anna (Chandra West), a best-selling author. Things take an ugly turn when Anna disappears during a thunderstorm, apparently the victim of a freak accident. Eventually, her body is found, and Jonathan sinks into despair. Then he meets Raymond (Ian McNeice), who claims that Anna has contacted him through EVP, or electronic voice phenomena. Raymond explains that the dead can communicate from beyond via static on common electronic equipment like radios and televisions. Jonathan is skeptical until he starts getting phone calls from Anna's inactive cell phone. He visits Raymond, whose home is filled with audio and video monitors and high-tech recording equipment. There he meets Sarah (Deborah Kara Unger), who has recently received a farewell message from her late fiancé. Jonathan eventually receives what appears to be a communication from Anna, but soon afterward, Raymond turns up dead. Obsessed with maintaining contact with his late wife, Jonathan visits a psychic (Connor Tracy) who warns him that he's going down a dangerous path, "meddling" in the affairs of the dead. Undaunted, Jonathan continues to study EVP and eventually finds that he's getting messages from people who haven't died...yet. White Noise was directed by Geoffrey Sax from an original script by Niall Johnson. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

    I consider myself a level headed reviewer, but with that said this may be the worst movie I've ever seen. It is so downright terrible I found it offensive. The story makes no sense, but the film is contructed so sloppily and haphazardly it wouldn't matter if it did. I have seen countless films, and White Noise is undoubtedly the most nonsensical I've viewed. What's more, the movie takes itself very seriously and one would be compelled to chuckle if they weren't so dumbfounded by its awfulness. By the end I was clueless, but it didn't matter because the ending is uneventful and mercury quick. This is not the type of movie that is bad but funny, it is bad and a waste of time.

    Very good acting and the ideals in the movie, but it is so slow. The whole movie is boring. It built some tension but it never released it. Than the scariest part of the movie is at the very end and it is when it sets it up for a sequel.

    Yes   |   No
