Rent White Noise (2005)

A very effective chiller! - White Noise review by CP Customer

White Noise isn't your usual horror film. Decidedly unique and with some very solid twists, the movie revolves around the character of Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton), an architect who loses his wife in a freak accident. When approached by Raymond Price, a man who claims he has heard messages from Jonathan's dead wife via the phenomenon of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). Jonathan himself soon becomes obsessed with the phenomenon, recording his own tapes and then viewing and listening to them for hidden messages. Suddenly, the messages become clear and take on an altogether different meaning.

The film very much has look and feel of an Asian horror movie, very dark, bleak, and set in an industrial/urban setting, so if you enjoyed films like Kairo, Audition, or Ringu, White Noise will be right up your street.

Be prepared though, White Noise is one of those films where what you get out of it is proportional to what you put in. Watch it with a cynical mind and you’ll be disappointed. However, watch it late at night, in a dark room, with an open mind, and prepare yourself for a genuinely unnerving and unsettling film which will hold your imagination throughout!

creepy - White Noise review by CP Customer

not really scary whilst watching the movie, but the imagination takes over when its finished. my mind certainly played tricks a time or 2 after watching this film. certainly made me think!!

Shoulda Been So Good... just Static - White Noise review by CP Customer

Great use of TV static, a tormented central performance by Keaton but a plot that, in the end, fails the stylish buildup with a nonsensical illogical resolution.

It's ok to be mysterious and creepy but you've got to do better than this to make a satisfactory scarefest.
