this sequel to white noise is actually pretty good.in terms of
thrills,i found it better than the first and it's much more
disturbing,and leaves you with a feeling of dread.the story though is
much more implausible.it puts a religious spin on the proceedings.while
electronic voice phenomena or EVP could have some reality to it,i
seriously doubt that there's is any religious aspect to it,but that's
just my opinion.things also get a bit muddled at times,at least i
thought so.still,i thought Nathan Fillion was good in the lead role,and
I like Katie Sackoff as the female lead,but i wish she had way more
scenes,as she is barely in the movie.when you add everything up,i think
there are more positives than negatives.for me White Noise 2 gets
4/5

Tout aussi bien fait que le premier, il nous amène là ou l'on ne voudrait jamais aller... à la limite entre le bien et le mal qui est la source même de l'univers... toute vie qui est sauvé ne peut qu'irrévocablement changé le cour de l'histoire et engendré une tonne de malformation à celle-ci... et qui dit malformation veut bien sûr dire en dehors de la normalité... qui ne devrait pas être...
En sauvant une vie, celui qui est la cause de cet acte délibéré prend en charge tout acte qui pourrait être commis par le dit sauvé... quant on s'y arrête un peu il faut avouer que cela donne des frissons dans le dos... Heureusement pour nous que cela (jusqu'à preuve du contraire) n'est pas le cas dans notre réalité à nous sinon comment ferais tout ceux dont cela fait parti intégrante de leur travail de sauver des vies...
Un film qui du début à la fin m'aura amené dans un univers bien intense, on se laisse facilement prendre surtout quand on a vu et apprécié le premier, la suite n'est que meilleur et tout aussi spéciale... Le mal a encore une fois un rôle des plus singulier...

Suprisingly Good

There has been a great deal of negative press surrounding "White Noise 2", a lot of it unjustly based on opinions of its predecessor "White Noise".
"White Noise 2" (Also known as "White Noise The Light") however, stands alone with little connection to the first movie "White Noise".
Nathan Fillion leads the cast as Abe Dale and accomplishes something rarely seen in a move of this genre, a connection with the characters. You're instantly drawn into Abe's world, and when he suffers a tragic and seemingly pointless loss, you can't help but feel for him. We see a more vulnerable character from Nathan Fillion than we have seen before and he expresses Abe's loss in such a way that is truly believable.
Katee Sackhoff, as Sherry, brings a degree of warmth and joy to what could otherwise be a somewhat dark experience and the dynamic between Nathan and Katee works exceptionally well.
Anyone who is a fan of either Nathan Fillion or Katee Sackhoff is sure to be as impressed with this film as I have been.
Props to Patrick Lussier who brings out the best in a sequel to a movie that was considered by many to be a disappointing experience.

[3.5] A sequel that stands on its own.

By Steven Hedge

Format:DVD
If terrifying images of potential deaths flashed in front of you, would you attempt to alter the natural order of events?
If this premise sounds familiar, it is because it's been done to death by Hollywood, but this film does cover this territory very well. It's a combination of Final Destination and the original White Noise. While not as violent as FD or as clever and jolting as WN1, this film is good and stands on its own two legs rather than just being a sequel that repeats its predecessor or a sequel that literally continues the story. This is a sequel in name only; it does rely on ideas that come from that WN1, but it goes off in its own direction. I guess the "2" to a popular film is liable to get it more noticed, although I think it could have been titled something else.
In any event, after a near-death experience in which a man loses his family he is plagued by horrifying images of potential deaths that he discovers he can prevent if he acts soon enough. The acting is surprisingly good for a small film and the effects can be quite jarring at times. I thought the plot was clever and the direction was competent and appropriately paced.
This is a good chiller for a rainy afternoon and okay for the whole family (if they are into thrillers).

Nice surprise...

Considering the flood of direct-to-DVD horror movie sequels, this one floats to the top. The original theatrical film with Michael Keaton left something to be desired, however, this new flick gives the titular paranormal theme a boost. You just have to keep your EVP's and NDE's in order as you make sense of the plot and all the religious subtext. My guess-- this could have been an unrelated stand-alone screenplay that was adapted to fit the "White Noise" genre. Katee Sackhoff does a great turn as the love interest, and fans will remember her from her initial foray into horror from Halloween - Resurrection. In all, this could spawn a third sequel if the present filmmakers sign on for another go round. Since it seems horror fans will devour anything that has competent and creative effort behind it (even if it doesn't hit the theaters), we may be seeing more films like this hit the shelves and not the cineplexes.
