White Noise, simply put, could have been so much better. I do not know how they got off advertising this movie as a thriller because it was anything but thrilling, not much of a mystery and had nothing to do with horror. The movie had a good gimmick with the Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) but the writers did not know where to take it from there. The only real special effect they used got old and once again, boring real fast.
Michael Keaton starred as Jonathan Rivers and to be honest, the character was believable. His reactions to most of the events taking place were pretty normal. Keaton just could not make up for the fact that this movie really has nothing to offer.
It would have been nice to see a bit more of Chandra West, who played Anna Rivers, Jonathan's dead wife. She was definitely a bright spot in the movie but her part was far too small and honestly, her parts with the EVP did nothing for me.
What more can I say? I did not like this movie and can not recommend it. The ending left no real conclusion and was more confusing than anything. I rented it and was still pretty disappointed. I am not sure which was worse, this one or the horrible Tornado which I reviewed previously. Maybe with better writers this movie could have been better but as it is now, I rate it only 2/10.
