Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

kai ringler this is one of those movies that i'm sitting on the fence, because not only didn'tt I hate it, but I didn't like it either, it was rather pedestrian average to me,, maybe that was because I had a real hard time trying to understand everything in the movie,, the first movie was pretty straight forward, and this one flies off into leftfield , a man witnesses his wife and kid get killed,, he almost get's killed,, as a result he can now see when someone is gonna get killed,, so he goes about tying to save people,, he succeeds,, but then soon learn that there is a price to pay,, every time you save a life,, you have to take one,, interesting premise,, the movie was okay,, but like I said before, just really a stretch to believe,, there were some scary parts, and some mystery,, I liked parts of the movie,, and some I didn't.

Chad Tindale So I decided to watch the big budget stinker that must be with a title like "White Noise 2". Because I'm the type of self loathing jerk who enjoys watching a train wreck and then commenting on how they could've made it look more believable and encouraged more emotions from me had I known the people on board. So with that in mind I started the sequel to the unfamous (not infamous) "White Noise 1", which starred Michael Keaton and was boring in the way that "War in Peace" is long. The movie was a train wreck but with better casting. However its sequel surprised me.First off, it starred Nathan Fillian who is to good films what Pauley shore is to good films. But, and it shocks me to say this, he was actually good. Better than I've ever seen him before. So if you're ever wondering why he was such a gigantic ham with low acting talent in Firefly, I guess we'll have to blame it on the directing, because here's a movie with approximately the budget of one episode of firefly (that's 1/6 of the entire series for you budget hawks) and he's pulling off acting that makes me wonder why he's phoned it in while performing in everything else I've ever seen him in.A few minutes in, I suddenly realized that the casting director has a huge boner for nerdy TV shows. One guy who had a run on Smallville, Caiptain Tightpants, and (I kid you not) Katee Sackhoff in a nurse outfit with purple highlights... It's not even my birthday, but thank you for the masturbation present anyway. So this all sets up a plot that I have to say... took work. In an interesting (and not drawn out) turn of events, Nathan's family is killed and he tries to kill himself, but returns to life only to find that he can see things that aren't entirely legit. He then learns that this is a sort of ticking clock on when people are going to die. He then uses this power to save people just before they die.I know what you're thinking, isn't this supposed to be a horror movie?. No, I told you earlier, it's a thriller that goes boo. Oh, yes... and he notices that ghosts are talking through the white noise in the TV, There's your tie in to the first one. Now can we move on? So he slowly starts figuring out that the guy who killed his wife had a similar power, and Nathan goes on an exploration of this condition. It gets kind of interesting. Oh, and Katee Sackhoff makes a few more appearances.So the story: It holds together pretty well until at the end in begins falling apart. It almost seems like the screenwriter really had something, but that deadline forced him to jot out the ending in less than a day. Also the Davinci code style math thing was pretty dumb. Also, they did the heart paddle thing completely wrong. And also, heart stopping doesn't mean you're "legally dead" anymore. So, you know what... There's a couple things it does right and a bunch of stuff it does wrong. Like any other movie.But what I really love, is the directing. The subtle hints that are laid throughout the movie are an easy way to make me applaud your movie. One of the things that happens early on is that Nathan makes his sons breakfast look like a face. So there's a face in his breakfast, and later he finds faces in things around him... The film is incredibly well shot. Several times I wondered if the director or cinematographer was going for an award with a sequel to a failed horror movie. Honestly, they knew they were supposed to phone this one in, right? I'm not supposed to be impressed with the quality of a movie called "White Noise 2".So in the end, I liked it. It wasn't perfect and the end should just be rewritten. But all in all, I can forgive the movie jumping out to say "boo", it's supposed to be scary, though no one told the screenwriter. I can forgive the bad math, and incorrect medical stuff, and I can sort of forgive the randomness of the ending. Mostly because I think the filming technique and the acting cover for it nicely. I recommend it, but only when you're in the mood to see an "ok" movie. It certainly won't make your top 10, but It's better than yelling at a train wreck that it should've been directed better.

dwpollar 1st watched 5/6/2009 – (Dir-Patrick Lussier): Corny yet effective story about a man who experiences a near death experience and then gains the ability to tell that others are going to die by a white haze that appears around them. Once he determines this is what's going on, he has to decide what to do about it? He starts trying to save these people and has some successes but then he learns later that they then kill others. There is another subplot revolving around his family and the fact that they were killed in front of him by a man who then put himself in the hospital after attempting to kill himself. This happened at the beginning of the movie before he had his near death experience. This complicated plot is handled pretty well by the director and is played well by Nathan Fillion for the most part. The man that killed him family turned out to have had a near death experience as well but kind of went crazy and felt that he had to kill as well as save to balance things out, I guess. The only annoying thing about the movie was a few scare tactics thrown in where the main character sees the dead who were not saved -- really just frightening him, more than anything. This doesn't really add anything to the movie but appears to just be there to make the movie more like a horror story. As a mystery, the movie works pretty well --- which if it was more this way – it would have been better, in my opinion. But all in all, the movie is compelling and keeps you interested despite some of it's flaws.

darecki-1 What a brilliant idea for a movie! I just love it. It's even better than the first "White Noise" - although they are both quite different. I'm not disappointed. There are some flaws which give this movie "unreal and unbelievable feeling" (and i'm not talking about the ghosts and stuff), which I find unpleasant, but come on - it's just a horror movie! It's a bit scary and has decent acting, however it could have a better ending.Go and see it, you won't regret it. It's not perfect, nor exceptionally bad, but completely satisfying. It's a good movie to watch with the whole family... if your family like horrors, brrr.
