White Noise 2: The Light Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Nitzan Havoc I'm one of those who really enjoyed White Noise at the time, and was warned by others not to watch this sequel on account of it being... well, not good. I never take such advice, I always like to see for myself, and most times the experience is rewarding. However, in the case of White Noise 2, while I'm glad I watched it, I can't help but agreeing with the critics.The first part of the story is excellent. The audience is immediately sucked into sympathy and grief for the protagonist's tragedy, and is curious to find out how he's going to cope with his loss and his new "condition". The idea of being able to "see" people who are about to die and try to save them was very nice, like an extended development of The Unbreakable. Also, I found the acting to be excellent on all accounts. Nathan Fillion is in my book a great actor, and since he gets most of the screen time in White Noise 2 as the protagonist, you'd notice if he wasn't. Katee Sackhoff also does a great job, and altogether the entire cast is very successful.Unfortunately, that's all the praises I can give to this anticlimactic sequel. The use of static "white noises" is clumsy and far-fetched. The idea behind the build up being more than semi-religious with an attempt to add "historical hints" is simply unsuccessful, and the ending is way too sci-fi for a Horror film that is supposedly of the ghost-story sub- genre. While the first film was an innovating and original Horror screenplay making an excellent use of EVP and such, the second simply feels like a sad attempt to milk the idea.So all in all, yes, I did enjoy watching White Noise 2, and the shots of "static ghosts" were in fact quite scary, but the film as a whole was very disappointing. I don't think I'd be able to recommend it, nor say that isn't worthy of watching. An accurate 5/10.
Treacle-A Nope. Even the adorable and charismatic Nathan Fillion couldn't save this clunker. I mean, don't get me wrong, it had its moments, but no matter how good the opening of a movie is, how subtle the acting and how intriguing the premise, nothing can save a film that is this determined to disappear up its own a$$.Particularly squirmsome moments included the eminently wooden Craig Fairbrass coming to his grand conclusion re: the devil, Katee Sackoff coming to that all-so-bizarre conclusion *all by herself* and - wow - just accepting it? Really? And that oh-so-convenient news stand with the usefully clear front page picture of the recently murdered woman. Darn that was useful, and just as he was thinking about her.Lazy lazy scriptwriting, woeful conclusions, hammy supporting performances. Nathan, I hope you have a better agent now.
nkl6564 Well I'll be honest. The only reason I took interest in this one was because of Nathan Fillion. He's great in everything that he is in. Here, he's playing a different kind of role, but you never get to see that side of him come through. This movie has its moments, and the premise had a lot of potential. However, the actual film didn't measure up. About 1% of this movie is character development, and that sucks because I actually wanted to get to know these characters before the weird events of the movie took place. The other 99% is the director trying to cram this story into an hour and a half long movie. Also, seeing as how this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the original, I really don't see why it's called White Noise 2. I guess they just wanted to get the whole transmission after death thing off the ground quick and weren't interested in a new franchise. At any rate the pacing seems rushed which is a bummer because it could have been cool. I am a big fan of religious fiction movies, and that's what this movie is. Also, it's not really a horror movie. It has scary "jump" scenes, but it's more of a thriller, and it tries too hard at times to scare you when the story line isn't really supposed to be that kind of scary. If they had called the movie something else and if the director had had free reign over the production, I think it could have been good, but we don't really get to see Fillion or any of the actors become their characters. If you get into the story even a little bit, it works just not for very long.
atinder This came on TV last night and had a lower expectation of this movieFrom first scene from the movie I don't think i turn my head once away from TV, i don't remember the last time i did I did not read plot before I saw this movie, It could be man just seating down hearing voice in the TV BOY was I wrong The family man Abe Dale is having lunch with his wife and son in a restaurant, when a man kills them in front of Abe and shots himself in the mouth. 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. His Near Death Experience makes him see white light in some people and to hear Electronic Voice Phenomena.The ghost did scare the hell out ME, I had no idea there were going be ghost in this movie, ( I was thinking there going face in TV that it ) I did not see that coming, The Atmosphere in that scene made even better.)The acting was outstanding from Nathan Fillion I was shocked to See Craig Fairbrass (I can't believe he was in this movie, not that long ago about 13 years ago he was in ( UK soap,)I didn't think the movie would be any good at all, it turned out to great 8/10
