Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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

This modern Hollywood horror thriller tackles the touchy subject of EVP, or Electronic Voice Phenomenon for the uninitiated. EVP is a real-life development in which the voices of the dead are said to be communicated via static – either on a radio, or more commonly a television set (I remember reading a story about a guy living in a caravan who saw his dead dog on the telly!). WHITE NOISE is actually a pretty darn effective chiller which expertly builds a sense of dread thanks to the spooky sequences involving white noise itself – anyone who doesn't get a shudder or two down their spine has to be a dead weight. The film is dark but well shot, with some stark photography; it's got that X-FILES feel to it, but better than THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES.Michael Keaton, who ain't been up to much lately, is great in the leading role, proving himself to be a believable leading man despite all the supernatural stuff going on around. The female support isn't so memorable, but then this is a film where nobody else really gets a look in. The camera stays close to Keaton's tired, lined face and it works just fine. The other great performance is from Ian McNeice as the kooky guy who initially gets Keaton into the subject; McNeice is one of those actors you see in dozens of movies over the years but are never sure who he is. Well, hopefully this will get him a little more recognition because he's fine.The suspense and mystery aspects of the story are handled well, with a good atmosphere of mounting dread being conjured up. The weird white noise scare scenes are genuinely jolting, and it's just a shame that the lacklustre ending of the movie – yep, it takes place in an abandoned factory, once again – is so predictable. There are too many surprises and twists in a short space of time, the CGI effects which inevitably have to turn up spoil the whole realism of the thing, and to put it plainly, it's just dumb. Still, for the most part, WHITE NOISE is a frightening spooker which has much in common with modern Japanese horror fare like DARK WATER.

After his wife's disappearance and subsequent death, a man delves into the world of using electronic capturing to study the strange messages left by his wife's ghost to help lost souls like here find the peace she now has.This turned out to be quite a frustrating and utterly troubling effort, mainly due to how it destroys such a potentially intriguing and novel concept. The idea of the continued contact at the same exact time and frequency is a cheat that takes away the fact that there's hardly anything done to search for her, it's all right there to start with and that's quite annoying to get through. It also manages to take away the paranoia and obsession of why he's being contacted, since he just falls right in and begins believing in such a topic after only one visit, which is a normal mark in such films but here comes off as another cheat. The class and slick-feeling this leaves behind is also quite damaging, since it's not going to get really terrifying due to it's placement and standing, so despite the few potentially intriguing scenes it showcases there's not going to be a whole lot that really gets out-of-hand so it can get the widespread appeal, and that overall is it's biggest problem. There's potential here with the contact and mysterious messages she leaves behind, but overall this is a wasted opportunity.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

I am one of the many who believe that there are such things as ghosts. This film delivers its first large impact in the beginning when you see that a husband and wife were very close to each other and in some accident, his wife dies. The concept of EVP is very believable seeing as how real paranormal investigators use EVP the same way as presented in the movie. I also like Micheal Keaton as a choice for this movie. Every actor is different and I think Keaton's performance during his mourning period is very believable. I also like Keaton's performance once he is introduced to EVP. His first visit to the EVP guy's house is more of a "I'm still skeptical but these things are happening and I want to know why" kind of visit. Once he listens to his wife on the recording he understands this isn't some joke and that he can communicate with his wife from beyond the grave. If you get past the horror aspect of the movie, the entire plot revolves around Keaton and West's love for each other.
