	Movie Review: White Noise
		While the movie White Noise is billed as a suspense thriller with a story written for the big screen, it also purports to feature a real meethod of communication between our world and the one inhabited by the departed.
		The movie uses its poetic license to assume that EVP is exactly what it is purported to be: a way for those who have died to send messages back to those of us still living.
		White Noise is interesting from the standpoint of EVP and it has its moments.

	White Noise - Movie News, Movie Gossip and More - White Noise
		White Noise, a bone-chilling tale of a man and his obsession with Electric Voice Phenomenon (EVP), successfully delivers the scares that were lacking in the past year's Horror titles.
		Confusion reigns throughout "White Noise," whose unhappy hero finally sees something like his wife in the static and finds himself enmeshed in what could be either an epidemic of serial killings, some spooky paranormal invasion, or both.
		The movie is desperate to lure people looking for something that reminds them of "The Ring," "Signs," "The Sixth Sense," "Ghost," "Ghostbusters," or "Poltergeist." This, in fact, is the sort of diminished knockoff that could have benefited from a little Whoopi Goldberg or the appearance of a giant destructive marshmallow.

	The Film Asylum Review - White Noise (Michael Keaton, Chandra West) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Is it The Sixth Sense…No!, is it Poltergeist…No! It’s White Noise, the story of successful architect Jonathan Rivers (Keaton) who’s peaceful life is turned upside down with the unexpected and strange death of his pregnant wife Anna (West).
		Although the story isn’t strong, White Noise is an entertaining film that does work and holds the attention of the viewer with its combination of cold-blooded tension and uneasy serenity.

	White Noise - Movie Review by Faizan Rashid - TEN Movies
		'White noise' is a movie so gimmicky, so preposterously ridiculous in its presentation of an intriguing concept that after dispensing its initial idea it dissolves into a dreary tale of suburban loss and cheap boo scares.
		Like other recent horror movies, such as 'The Grudge' it has an idea that seems just ripe and readymade for a horror movie, that of the dead communicating with their loved ones via the use of everyday technology and devices such as television, radio and mobile phones.
		The only good thing about movies like 'White noise' coming out during the beginning of the year is that they manage to set the bar for lousy flicks really low, so we know we won't be witness to anything more perverse.

	White Noise Movie - The Hollywood News
		White Noise is a disposable thriller that suggests it might be an original entry in the horror genre, but in fact is nothing more then a rehashed scramble of superior pictures including The Ring and the underrated Mothman Prophecies.
		White Noise is as an all too familiar horror tale.
		White Noise is dark around the edges and has a fair share of grim moments, but it never engaged me in the slightest.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: White Noise Movie Review
		Basing a movie on an obscure supernatural phenomenon is all well and good, but when that movie is as poorly developed as White Noise, it can cause problems.
		White Noise attempts to spin that iconic image out over an hour and 40 minutes, a daunting challenge that it clearly can't meet.
		White Noise simply needed an A-list effort behind it, one that could see its concept through and not leave it stranded in the ash heap of January.

	White Noise (2005) Movie Review by Jack Moore at The Movie Insider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		White Noise may be one of the most appropriately named films of the past few years; after about an hour of Geoffrey Sax's hum-drum horror dud, everything just washes together into one big mess of crackling static.
		White Noise is based on the real life occurrence of E.V.P.—Electronic Voice Phenomenon—where the voices and images of the deceased are recorded in the White Noise created by modern electrical devices.
		White Noise fails for a lot of reasons—bad acting, terrible writing, and nonexistent scares—but its biggest flaw is in how it uses E.V.P. This phenomenal happening (hoax or not, who knows) is probably better suited for a drama than a horror film, and it certainly deserves a smarter screenwriter than Niall Johnson.

	'White Noise' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		Though, should any actual bestselling writers of international renown happen to wander into the audience during the movie's early scenes by mistake, they might be dismayed at the sight of Anna swanning around the master suite of her suburban McMansion in a lacy lilac half-slip girlishly clutching a positive pregnancy test to her bosom.
		"White Noise" begins as an overlit paean to trophy-wifedom and "lifestyle" living, then practically gets down on its knees and begs to be called "a stylish thriller." The movie straitjackets Keaton into a humorless, table-pounding role, preferring to let his real estate holdings, art collection and quietly expensive clothes do the talking.
		These Three Enemigos of "White Noise" are well beyond not nice, though, and in their zeal for evil they wind up altering the basic premise of the movie until it morphs into something else altogether.

	White Noise - Movie Review - Horror Express.com
		Under the white noise of static TV stations and radio equipment, voices and faint images can be salvaged which uncannily match the identities of people who have passed.
		WHITE NOISE is a good sign for people who don't like their horror with a lot of sturm und dang.
		WHITE NOISE is also continuing what seems to be an ongoing epidemic among suspense features, namely the disappointing third act.

		The movie personifies how white noise is one of the most common ways to obtain EVP samples.
		In the White Noise review and the movie itself, we see how white noise is actually a hiss obtained by an untuned radio.
		In the White noise movie review, Jonathan is eventually contacted by a man (Ian McNeice), who claims to be receiving messages from Anna through EVP.

	Modamag.com \| White Noise - Movie Review
		It seems the static-like "white noise" of sound and images from TV sets and radios can be detected and recorded using a process known as video or photographic instrumental transcommunication.
		So Jonathan spends a lot of time in front of a fuzzy TV screen, obsessively determined to pick up Anna's shadowy messages from the grave, even though he's warned by a psychic (Connor Tracy) that he'd better be careful.
		On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "White Noise" is a silly, muddled, dismal 2.

	White Noise - The Hollywood News
		That’s my main problem with White Noise: it flits from one genre to another without much thought, and it never seems to know what it wants to be.
		Half the time you’ll think Noise is an essay on overcoming grief, and the other time you’ll think it’s a remake of Poltergeist.
		White Noise appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Movie DVD for White Noise
		White Noise attempts to base itself on some quasi-fact theories of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), where people have claimed spirits of the dead have contacted them through the static or “white noise” of television or radio.
		The movie is certainly presented in a creepy enough manner that you start to forgive the cheap “gotcha” moments and give in to the eerie ambiance of the film.
		The concept of EVP is that the white noise of static acts as the voice box for the voices from beyond.

	White Noise movie review - AGGRESSIVE-VOICE.COM
		Thrillers such as “White Noise” which open with a history lesson usually start in a ditch and must work its way up if the audience is going to react positively.
		“White Noise” tries by opening with a Thomas Edison quote from 1928 theorizing the possibility of being able to record the dead, and how we must do so if it’s actually possible.
		But instead of being called “E.V.P.” the film is titled “White Noise,” which in the real world is a term used to define overlooked errors in political science research.

	White Noise (2005) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		White Noise is a Universal Pictures release directed by Geoffrey Sax and was released in theaters on January 7, 2005.
		Instead of basing the film on the phenomenon, the film is based upon the tragic loss of a man's wife and his struggle to get back in touch with her.
		This is probably the best medium to view the movie, besides the fact that it is definitely not worth paying to see in the theatre.

		In "White Noise", the character is played at a different pitch -- with more casual cynicism and yet a firm comprehension of the contradictions that make metro-centric life such a mélange of the bitter and the sweet.
		But for those staring in from the outside, "White Noise", with its generous helpings of Jim Morrison's music and allusions to the warmth that creeps into a rejected frozen heart, is more than just a pastiche of fashionable signposts of urban life.
		In "White Noise" we see the characters scratching the sleek surfaces of their lives for signs of substance.

	White Noise - zBoneman Movie Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		White Noise is a disposable thriller that comes advertised as though it might be an original entry in the horror genre, but in fact is nothing more than a rehashed scramble of superior pictures including The Ring and the underrated Mothman Prophecies.
		In films of this nature, there's always another element, and in White Noise, this other presence, as you may well surmise, is up to no good.
		Quickly though, White Noise turns into a repetitious mess, and leads to a lame finale in which a twist lets all the helium out of the baloon.

		Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton, "First Daughter") has only just learned that his second wife Anna (Chandra West, "The Salton Sea"), a successful author about to publish her latest book, is expecting their first child when she doesn't return home one night after meeting a girlfriend.
		The trailer for "White Noise" explains E.V.P., Electronic Voice Phenomena, as recorded images and voices of the dead, as well as providing a few chilling examples, before giving a few perfunctory glimpses of the actual movie it is promoting.
		He arrives home to discover a message ("White Noise" is stuffed full of voice mails) from Anna saying that she will be home late.

	"White Noise" Movie Review by Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
		“White Noise” follows the grief of Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton), who recently suffered the death of his young wife (Chandra West).
		Last year, one of the most effective horror movies to hit the theater was “The Grudge.” And after seeing “White Noise,” I realized what helped make “The Grudge” so effective.
		When we have the final reveal in “White Noise,” the ghosts were laughable at best and downright lame and boring at worst.

	White Noise movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		‘White Noise’ is a good try for Hollywood as it tries to get up to the horror standard set by Asian cinema but the film just doesn’t have the plot or backstory elements in place to reach those types of scares.
		White Noise is a tense supernatural thriller that centers on the concept of EVP.
		Deborah Kara Unger arises as a fellow EVP obsession that communicates with her dead loved one and Ian McNeice is suitable in his role as the explanatory character of EVP to the audience.

		White Noise is predicated on an intriguing process called Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) where the dead contact the living through televisions, telephones, and radios.
		But with White Noise, we receive mixed signals and a new broadcast that becomes a boring waiting game for the thrills to begin.
		Jonathan believes the messages he hears in the white noise are alerting him to crimes that have not yet been committed.

		The movie starts out with a definition and some statistics on Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP).
		Then it fades into the opening scene, which is Jonathan (Michael Keaton), his wife Anna and his son, Mikey (from a previous marriage) in the kitchen having breakfast.
		Just before the credits roll, there is a statistic about EVP that states that 1 in 12 EVP messages are overtly violent or threatening in nature.

	White Noise and the AA-EVP
		Probably, the movie would be boring without the thrill of danger, but we must point out that it is not dangerous to use or work with these phenomena.
		We had not expected a large movie studio to acknowledge the impact their movie might have on our field, nor be so willing to help set the record straight.
		In the end, AA-EVP members and this movie, will reach more people with news about EVP in 2005 than we could have dreamed of in the next twenty years at the rate we were going.

	White Noise review - movie review of the Geoffrey Sax film starring Michael Keaton
		In White Noise, a paranormal thriller built around an occurrence known as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), a widower (Michael Keaton) who's in contact with his wife in the afterlife gets more than what he bargained for when he gets mixed up with a trio of evil spirits.
		White Noise advances slowly and, from the slow pace to the moods and use of TVs as channels with the dead, it is clear that this is an Americanized offspring of the Japanese Ringu-type wave, which also guarantees that your experience will be creepy rather than scary.
		By the end of White Noise, you get the feeling that this is one these movies better fitted for your DVD player than for the big screen.

		Grief-stricken, he starts to hear noises over his radio and even receives a few phone calls from Anna's cell, even though her phone is turned off and in one of his drawers.
		While the movie is generally pretty creepy, the ending is pathetically bad to the point where it destroys the story.
		If you liked "White Noise," this DVD may be a good one to pick up for the sake of scaring yourself or friends (just don't bother with the last twenty minutes or so), but as far as special features go, this one has nothing exceptional to offer.
