White Noise - Fürchte das Licht

Definitely don't let the lacklustre effort of the first White Noise film put you off seeing this creepy sequel.

Although the ties to static 'noise' from electrical appliances are stretched somewhat thinly (was this film written as a stand-alone then tied to 'White Noise' later???), this is a nice little horror film with loads of atmosphere and great performances.

Nathan Fillion (Sliver, Serenity) has a good 95% of the screen time and does a great job as a man whose family has been murdered in front of him. There are ghosts a-plenty and some nice 'can't mess with the future' themes - if you like the Final Destination movies, you're gunna love this.

Don't wait for DVD... this film is worth forking out to see at the cinema.

I wasn't expecting anything too good but i was pleasantly surprised. This is fast paced, seems fairly believable and was genuinely creepy in places. The acting was pretty good too and you really felt for the characters. There were some nice twists and the film moved along at a nice pace.

I would have absolutely loved this if only it had a better/different ending. To me it just didn't make any real sense for the last few minutes and what sense i could make of it left too many loose ends and unanswered questions.

Still it deserves 8 of out 10 for being a superb film for the most part.

Let me start this off by saying that White Noise 2 is amazing! Far better than its predecessor which, suffered more at its conclusion for having a lazy finale. Nathan Fillion is brilliant as Abe, a man who is revived from death after attempt at suicide over the murder of his family. He now can see a light on people who may die within the minute or the next day. He sets out to be the hero, only to find out that meddling with deaths plan will result in disastrous consequences. This film is visual impressive, well paced for its 97 minutes and is very strong in the drama department, the acting is great and there are no cheesy moments within range. I loved every minute of it and I recommend you see this psychological/thriller/drama.

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.

Having watched the first white noise, which for me was a great film as it went against the conventional ending of all is well that ends well, i really had my hopes up high for the sequel. But as they say, sequels are most likely to be worse than the originals. And so it happened for me as well. The film in itself has some very good scares, especially in the beginning. I can't reveal the forms of these as it would spoil the movie, but trust me, they are really good. You do get used to them by the end though, as they have been overused. Other than that I will have to agree that the actors do not put in the best performance ever but then again the movie is not such that demands a high standard. The concept is interesting, as it has something of the first movie but with a twist. Oh and another thing, for those of you who might be superstitious or something, there is no such thing as 'tria mera' in Greek, it's 'triti mera', trust me, I'm Greek.
