Same here. I really wanted to like this movie and for it to be successful, but unfortunately it was a pretty lame horror attempt and should have been straight to video.

Could'nt agree more. This started out promisisng but really turned into a mess.

I saw this flick in theaters. I thought it was pretty good movie, until it's horrible final 20 minutes.

The extras on the DVD are far scarier and frightening than anything in the actual movie. Two of those featurettes honestly gave me the creeps for hours afterwards.

Ok so maybe it was the couple of beers I drank before watching it the first time but I tried giving it a second view to see what I saw in this flick that others didn't and well..............I should've drank again on the second viewing.

I'm sad to say I didn't even make it through the entire movie this time around (barely half way) before turning it off.

Maybe it's just the joke of a second viewing or maybe I was really vulnearble the first time through but this movie does suck.


:brickwl2: what the hell was I thinking?

I saw this movie on dvd, finally.

I knew going into it that the reviews were considerably bad. However, I'm really into movies that deal with the paranormal (and occult, and all that other weird shit, because to me it's more freaky than a guy with a hockey mask wielding an axe), so I decided to make the move and watch the damn flick.

I would've watched it earlier, but I just finished "student teaching" and I've finally been able to watch more movies now. I must say, I really liked the film. I can see where all the plot holes are, now that they've come to my attention, but when I watch movies I'm able to suspend belief and just "go with it." I think the strength of the movie mainly lied in the subject matter, however. Which probably explains why I liked it.

My questions mainly fall in line with SleepW's questions.

And I agree with another forum member, that the extras were especially creepy.

Perhaps I'm just too easy on movies (which explains why I own half of the dvds in my collection...heh), but I thought it was a good, spooky thriller.

I love Keaton. I love horror movie's, but for some reason White Noise was medicore at best. Maybe because they took such a great and simple concept, EVP, and just ruined it with things that made no sense at all.

Good. Lord.



More White Noise on the Big Screen?

Gold Circle Films is moving forward with White Noise 2: The Light, a sequel to the horror hit which earned $91.2 million worldwide. Rogue Pictures has acquired U.S. distribution rights, while Mandate Pictures will handle foreign.

In the sequel, written by Matt Venne, a man's family is murdered and he is brought back from the brink of death. The man realizes he has changed and can now identify those among the living who are about to die. When he tries to save people from their fate, he discovers there is a price to paid for interfering with the natural order of life and death.

Released in January, White Noise starred Michael Keaton, was produced by Gold Circle and distributed by Universal Pictures.

That sounds more like Final Destination crossed with Tru Calling than the first White Noise movie.
