White Noise: The Light

" I See Dead people " :) What happens if you had the power to save people from their deaths , only to find your actions have caused a reaction, a reaction that multiplies in its effects? What if those that you saved were meant to die? There are some slow love scenes that I guess have to be in a film, but other then that the movie is pretty much in constant motion.

Nathan Fillion is a cool actor, his particular acting style is very refreshing, i think any other actor would have made this film into a dodgy 2nd hand horror film.Those that liked 'Serenity' will enjoy this movie.

This is an above average movie with good acting and a decent script.

Great way to spend a night in, just make sure you have a hubby next to you so as you don't get too scared.

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.

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.

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.

The main reason to see "White Noise 2: The Light" is for Nathan Fillion's quietly powerful performance as Abe Dale, a man whose family is killed and who is himself brought back from the dead. The screenwriter Matt Venne is focused mostly on exposition and in some scenes you can practically see the storyboarding ("Abe looks down. Sees himself in the shattered mirror fragments") but despite this Mr. Fillion finds ways to inject nuance and emotion into wooden and often under-written scenes. The story is most intriguing in the first half of the movie, but less so when it shifts from Abe's personal experience to a broader canvas in order to explain what the heck is going on; still, there are some nice goose-bump moments and the last ten minutes are definitely provocative and hair-raising. If you like supernatural stories and want to see Nathan Fillion show he can play a troubled, normal, non-heroic guy, you should enjoy this one.
