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.

A couple of days later, the grieving Abe misses his family and commits suicide ingesting many pills at home, but is rescued by his friend Marty Bloom and saved by the doctors.

I've never seen the original White Noise, but since everyone – or almost everyone – seems to hate it, I don't plan to do so. Actually, I don't even know why I bothered to watch the sequel. It may have something to do with the fact that there was nothing worthwhile playing in Peruvian cinemas this week. (Apart from the third Resident Evil and Mr. Brooks, which I've already seen and reviewed.) Anyway, White Noise: The Light, I hear, has nothing to do with the former film, having completely new actors and crew and, although it tries to make links with the first installment, it doesn't succeed in being more than a lackluster sequel to a crappy movie. Were it not for Nathan Fillion's presence, the movie would undoubtedly be unwatchable. As it is, though, it's only a semi-creepy, PG-13-rated "horror" film.The movie tells the story of Abe Dale (Nathan Fillion), whose family – wife (Kendall Cross) and kid (Joshua Ballard) – is suddenly killed by an unknown man for no apparent reason. Depressed, Abe tries to commit suicide, but is taken to the hospital. There, he apparently dies but, before he's revived, sees a white light and his family at the end of the tunnel. After the near-death experience, everything changes. He can now identify people who are about to die – a mysterious white light appears around them. According to Dr. Karros (William McDonald), this has something to do with "EVP" phenomenon, but the audience would never guess it. As Abe tries to use his new "superpowers" for good and save people who are about to die, he gets close with her former nurse (Katee Sackhoff), finds out a thing or to about the man who killed his family, and creepy stuff start to happen.The movie is another in a series of lackluster sequels which have nothing to do with the previous installments. Which such a "pedigree" one would expect it to be virtually unwatchable, but fortunately that's not the case. Yes, it's pretty lackluster, but it also contains a couple of surprising twists, and Nathan Fillion's (Firefly, Serenity) performance is pretty effective. He takes things seriously, recites his lines of dialogue convincingly, and makes a compelling leading man. He's surrounded by unfamiliar names, but none of them are that bad; unless not as bad as one comes to expect from horror movie protagonists. Katee Sackhoff as Abe's potential love interest doesn't have much to do, but is appealing and likable nonetheless (since she's smiling virtually all the time it's almost impossible to hate her) and William McDonald as the only character who comes close to being the main "bad guy" is boring; he doesn't have enough screen time or dialogue.Despite the effective performances and mildly interesting plot, the movie never "takes off", and actually looks kind of cheap. From the virtually unknown thespians, to the lazy production values and cheesy makeup for the apparitions Abe seems to see everywhere, the movie looks as if it could've used a bigger budget. Additionally, even though the plot is somehow engaging, it never seems believable, especially due to the mixture of concepts the film presents; the paranormal, religious stuff and science don't make a good mix. The movie turns more and more preposterous as it progresses, and the ending is almost laughable, both in execution and concept; it's hard to understand not because it's complex, but because it seems to break the movie's pre-established rules, and basically doesn't make any sense.Technically, the film doesn't feature many special effects, but the ones presented in its climax are pretty cheesy. The direction is solid yet workmanlike and, even though the movie has plenty of "boo!" moments and cheap scares, it doesn't succeed in being totally creepy. There are some mildly interesting plot twists, though, like when Abe decides to become some kind of weird "superhero" and use his powers to save people. Now, I wasn't expecting that from a sequel to a horror movie… White Noise 2 tries to do many things, but ultimately ends up being yet another cheap sequel to a mildly successful horror film. Even though it tries to make links with the previous installment (it mentions the "EVP" thing a couple of times), the plot never convinces, especially because it tries to mix several different concepts which don't seem to have much relation with each other. Yes, the performances are solid, and yes, the movie has a couple of spooky "boo!" moments, but it's nothing to get excited about. The movie as a whole is disappointing, preposterous and, ultimately, not very entertaining. Fans of the first White Noise (is there such a thing?) won't be pleased with this sequel, and I would only recommend it for watching on DVD when there's nothing else available.

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.
