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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

- TriviaWhen Abe visits the house of the man who murdered his family, he comes across an article about a woman who stabbed a ferry captain. The woman, Mary Freeman, is the same woman Michael Keaton's character saves at the end of White Noise.
- Goofs(at around 1h 6 mins) The phrase "Tria mera" isn't proper greek, nor is it how "third day" is in the Bible. In greek "third day" is "triti mera". "Tria" means three and "triti" means third. The actual phrase from the bible is also "triti mera". Furthermore, if you try to turn "Tria mera" to numerical value using the greek numericals, you get 557 and not 666. Using the movie's numerical values, "triti mera" would have a value of 1074. However, "Tria Mera" does work if you take into account that the numerical values of letters are different for lowercase vs. uppercase.
