Best movie of this year hands down!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

this is one of those movies that i'm sitting on the fence, because not only didn'tt I hate it, but I didn't like it either, it was rather pedestrian average to me,, maybe that was because I had a real hard time trying to understand everything in the movie,, the first movie was pretty straight forward, and this one flies off into leftfield , a man witnesses his wife and kid get killed,, he almost get's killed,, as a result he can now see when someone is gonna get killed,, so he goes about tying to save people,, he succeeds,, but then soon learn that there is a price to pay,, every time you save a life,, you have to take one,, interesting premise,, the movie was okay,, but like I said before, just really a stretch to believe,, there were some scary parts, and some mystery,, I liked parts of the movie,, and some I didn't.

Spoiler warning, like it matters because this movie was terrible. It takes a really bad movie to get me to write a review to have my revenge.It's the story of a man named Abe whose wife and son are murdered by a gunman who shoots himself. Abe decides to commit suicide to reunite with them, but just as he is about to join them in heaven, his dopey pal intervenes, and he is restored to life on the operating table, a near death experience. Though his life is empty, he has a consolation prize, he now has to power to tell when someone will die by seeing a white light surrounding him. So he runs around trying to save people before they get killed, to make up for not being able to save his family. Well no good deed goes unpunished in horror films, so we are faced with the "Final Destination" like consequences of interfering in God's wonderful plan. See all these people that get saved end up turning evil after three days, and murder other people. And that's why the gunman killed Abe's family, because he had saved them before and he didn't want them to turn evil. He could also see the light.So, if you were to meet a potential mass murderer and say to him "hey killing is wrong." And he says "You're right. I don't want to be a jerk, so I will turn myself in to the authorities." Then you think you are a big hero. But guess what you did? You just unleashed Satan big time. Because all those people that you saved had a white light around them that meant they were meant to die. Now that they are saved they will turn evil in 3 days and kill more people. Then you are tasked with the responsibility of running around trying to kill all those former innocent people before they go on a killing spree themselves.SAVING PEOPLE IS A GOOD THING!!! Enough with this Final Destination CRAP!!!

White Noise 2 is a perfect example of how creatively and commercially barren modern Hollywood has become. It's a direct-to-DVD sequel that no one demanded for a movie that very few people watched, and the sequel isn't even about the same stuff as the original.The premise of the original White Noise is that you can capture the voices or images of the dead on electronic recording equipment. White Noise 2 makes a few references to that idea, but it's really about Near Death Experiences, The Devil and predestination. Without checking on it at all, I'd bet money that this was an original screenplay that had some rather unrelated things shoehorned into it so they could pass it off as a sequel. I suppose some studio executive turned down the original script for a big screen movie and then some other executive decided that if they could trick people into thinking it was a legitimate sequel to White Noise, they might be able to get a few DVD rentals out of the folks who saw the first film. Boy, I bet that was a fun meeting for the writer.Anyway, White Noise 2 is about this guy named Abe (Nathan Fillion) who sees his family gunned down in front of his eyes and the killer, named Henry (Craig Fairbrass), shoot himself in the head. Unable to live without his family, Abe tries to commit suicide. He dies, sees a white light and is about to join his family in the afterlife when those meddling doctors bring him back to life. I don't know about you, but if I knew that killing myself would reunite me in Heaven with my wife and child, I'd just keep doing it until I finally got it right. Abe, however, simply gives up on the idea. After his suicide attempt, Abe discovers that he can see an aura around other people when they are going to die. Eventually, he starts using this "super-power" (as his Movie Black Friend calls it) to save people from impending death. One of the people he saves is the cute nurse, Sherri (Katee Sackhoff), who tended to him in the hospital. But Abe finds out that when you interfere with destiny and save people who were supposed to die, even worse things result. Throw in one completely unbelievable revelation and an ending that has absolutely nothing to do with anything in this movie OR anything in the first film, and that's White Noise 2.This isn't a terrible film, especially for a PG-13 scary movie. It does rely too much on sudden flashes of frightening images to startle the audience. That works the first couple of times, but loses its effect really quickly. And like many mediocre scary movies, it has that one, big, fat exposition scene where everything is bluntly explained to the audience, even stuff that was never previously mentioned or had been only vaguely foreshadowed in the story.The acting is okay for this sort of thing, and if this is the sort of thing you're interested in, the plot doesn't insult your intelligence. It is very obvious, though, that all of the stuff in this film that references the first White Noise doesn't have a darn thing to do with what this movie is about. I wonder if the scenes and dialog cut out to make room for the "No, really. This is a sequel to White Noise. I'm being serious, here" nonsense might have made it a better story if left in.If you're in the mood for a PG-13 "horror" movie, White Noise 2 isn't that bad a choice. As I mentioned before, it does have only two markedly stupid moments in it, which is better than usual for the PG-13 "horror" genre. Now, why anyone who wants to be scared would only want to be frightened to the level of PG-13…that's another subject entirely.

Well I'll be honest. The only reason I took interest in this one was because of Nathan Fillion. He's great in everything that he is in. Here, he's playing a different kind of role, but you never get to see that side of him come through. This movie has its moments, and the premise had a lot of potential. However, the actual film didn't measure up. About 1% of this movie is character development, and that sucks because I actually wanted to get to know these characters before the weird events of the movie took place. The other 99% is the director trying to cram this story into an hour and a half long movie. Also, seeing as how this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the original, I really don't see why it's called White Noise 2. I guess they just wanted to get the whole transmission after death thing off the ground quick and weren't interested in a new franchise. At any rate the pacing seems rushed which is a bummer because it could have been cool. I am a big fan of religious fiction movies, and that's what this movie is. Also, it's not really a horror movie. It has scary "jump" scenes, but it's more of a thriller, and it tries too hard at times to scare you when the story line isn't really supposed to be that kind of scary. If they had called the movie something else and if the director had had free reign over the production, I think it could have been good, but we don't really get to see Fillion or any of the actors become their characters. If you get into the story even a little bit, it works just not for very long.
