White Noise 2: The Light (DVD)

The original White Noise was a terrible film that was based on an interesting subject, that of voices of the dead reaching out to the living via static on TV and radio, even when there was no actual show on. White Noise 2: The Light is a straight to DVD rip off that somehow made it to the cinema big screens, probably on the strength of the title and nothing else (though the recent sequels to Hollow Man and I Know What You Did Last Summer were unable to secure the same privilege) White Noise 2 has very little to do with the original movie it takes it name from, in fact so little that you wonder if it was named after it was made in an attempt to gain more ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room I don't think I'm alone in disliking White Noise. Despite having the great Michael Keaton in the lead role, it was just an extremely muddled film that had an interesting premise but never capitalised on it with mood or tension.

Essentially if you become a hit in a genre show you may be trapped in schlock hell, but at least you still get work. So it is with great honour that ...  Read the complete review

I love anything that scares me, films that make you nervous wandering around your own house in the dark (yes I'm weird!) *LOL* and this although not terrifying made me nervous for a few days if sat in the dark I got static on my TV! This is a follow on from "White Noise" but is not a continuation from the previous film. The story is based round a character called Abe (Played by Nathan Fillion) who tries to commit suicide after his wife and kid are murdered in a cafe in front of him. unfortunatley for him the staff at the hospital revive him. Suddenly he notices aura's and interference on electrical equipment and he eventually realises he ...  Read the complete review
