White Noise (DVD, 2005, Widescreen)

Michael Keaton tried to portray a widower whose wife dies in an accident. People who are involved in the EVP (Electric Voice Phenomenon) pseudo-science who believe they can use rigged up equipment to allow dead people to contact them start showing up all around Rivers (Keaton). They get him going believing that his wife is contacting them. Then he rapidly becomes as addicted to the EVP beliefs system as them; practically ignoring his motherless little boy. That is the part of the film which bothers me most.

Before you know it his whole world centers around making EVP contact with his dead wife and the rest of the dead who are interfering with his desired direct contact with her.

The show is dull and unbelievable. The plot isn't interesting either. To be obsessed with the dead while a little boy needs a dad to be with him amongst the living is not my kind of flick. It seems to justify negligence by a father of a child.

I call it spookological. But it's not even scary, or a thriller, or a suspense because there is no basic sustaining plot that holds the film together in a meaningful way.

So the guy loses his wife and becomes obsessed with her death? What's original about that? What's original about weird hooky spooky side show techniques which pretend to make contact with dead people who are beloved or dangerous? I found it rather morbid, but certainly not thrilling.

This is a spooky movie were the white noise in TV/computers, can do things. I must give this a bad rating because...

1)it has a new idea with an already been done feel.
2)it is more for teens I think because it just wasn't that scarey.
3)I have owned it since it came out and watched it 1 time. (that is saying alot since DvDs are my source of TV)

But to play devils advocate, if you are a teen or liked "the ring" maybe this movie will do for you what it didn't do for me. If not, and you must spend money on this, I would say "rent it".

Not for children!

I love how the movie suprises you and makes you sit at the end of your seat!!!!! The trailers on this dvd is great!!!!!

i thought this movie was great. it really grabs your attention. would recommend this movie to any horror film lover.

very scary movie! a real nailbiter from start to finish~ the main characters are so full and well acted you feel really connected to them and to the story..

This movie has both a light and dark side. It helps those who don't understand this phenominon, but goes a little too deep maybe to the point of scaring away potential white noise analysts. If you are buying this movie because you believe, then you'd like TAPS as well. If you are just curious about White Noise, then there are documentaries on the extras on this disk. It is suspenseful, and is better than some of the horror moives that I've seen. This movie is not for the weak of heart!

For the price I paid for the movie, I'd definately recommend to everyone!

Trailers make it out to be like Poltergeist, but it is really pretty interesting. I just hate when you have to turn it up to hear some really quiet moment, then they BLAST music to scare the crap out of you. A different movie for MIchael Keaton for sure! Would recommend it to a friend! Don't want to give anything away- its a chiller!

You Watch The Lovely Couple Go About Their EveryDay Lives....Then Bam The Wife Anna is In a Car Accident. They Are Unable to Find Her Body as The Accident Happend Near a Body Of Water. During The Mean Time The Husband Jonathan (Michael Keaton) Goes to Work and Notices a Man Is Following Him. He Confronts This Strange Man For Following Him. The Stranger Then Tells Him He is Receiving Messages From Jonathan's Wife Anna...Well Jonathan Is Not Interested For Now....The Plot Thickens, and Jonathan Then Goes to See The Strange Man. The Story Plays Out Really Well. I Will Not Tell More As You May Watch How It Plays Out!! I Must Add This One Dislike Though: When Jonathan Goes to Visit a Lady Psychic, She Tells Him True Things and He Runs Out On Her....I was Shocked to See He Did Not Continue to See Her.

It is a very good movie and i real don't get in to theses kinda of movies like my husband and i also got it for christmas gift and i don't have it either.

i had high hopes for this one, i LOVE movies of this genre and michael keaton is always good. i would say the first 3/4 of this movie are really good! i would not classify it as horror, its more emotional than anything. but the last part just pretty much blows. i really disliked the ending. but i thought keatons performance was excellent and the plot was good other than that.
