Reviews
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
mailofthefuture This was the scariest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Take that for whatever it's worth.And if the actual movie wasn't already scary enough, to make things even more horrifying, my television set turned off within minutes after the movie ended. I was never able to get it to work again, and it wasn't even 2 years old. True story I swear to God.That was back in 2005. Finally, almost 10 years later I saw White Noise again for the 2nd time last night. It really is that bad azz, mainly because it touches on a supernatural phenomenon, then offers tons of scientific evidence to back-up the story's validity.I would only recommend this movie to people that spiritually are well grounded and have some backbone, people that have strong convictions about their beliefs regarding the unknown. And for anybody else, if curiosity twists your arm past the point of no return, just try to remember that after all, it is still only a movie. Regardless of how real the content actually is, it's a horror movie, so Hollywood is behind it specifically aiming to scare the be-Jesus out of you. Like with alien movies, 99% of them portray aliens as evil, when in actuality, 99% of them are actually friendly and have been assisting humans ever since the Earth was seeded for life billions of years ago. Just like you'll never see movies that show aliens building the pyramids when they really did, you'll never see movies about speaking to the dead that have happy endings, even though there have been many very successful mediums and psychics helping people speak to their deceased in non-scary ways since the beginning of time. Yes, White Noise is a must-see. Just don't watch it alone!!
LeonLouisRicci This is a tough subject matter to pull off and it helps if the Creators behind the Movie are passionate or at least literate about the obscure Paranormal Phenomenon that is being fictionalized.Gazing at a snowy TV screen like a Rorschach Test and discovering faint, barely recognizable images and listening for far away sounds that become almost decipherable, but not quite, or maybe so, is not the stuff of compelling Cinema. It is utilized here for some Suspense, but alas, it becomes too much of a not too good a thing.The Plot failing to make any coherent explanation of the Subject, and it is a Subject that requires more than cursory exposition, diverges and meanders as it adds Precognition to the Story and other extraneous stuff like manifestations and a deranged Killer, just for some Hollywood filler.Overall, it is a misguided attempt at Marketing a new twist to the Horror Movie Crowd and is an expensive exploitation with no regards, embarrassing itself with a Half-Baked product that could do no more than fill seats initially, with a clever Ad Campaign. But when those seats were empty after the first run, there was no place to hide from this poorly conceived disappointment.
GL84 After his wife's disappearance and subsequent death, a man delves into the world of using electronic capturing to study the strange messages left by his wife's ghost to help lost souls like here find the peace she now has.This turned out to be quite a frustrating and utterly troubling effort, mainly due to how it destroys such a potentially intriguing and novel concept. The idea of the continued contact at the same exact time and frequency is a cheat that takes away the fact that there's hardly anything done to search for her, it's all right there to start with and that's quite annoying to get through. It also manages to take away the paranoia and obsession of why he's being contacted, since he just falls right in and begins believing in such a topic after only one visit, which is a normal mark in such films but here comes off as another cheat. The class and slick-feeling this leaves behind is also quite damaging, since it's not going to get really terrifying due to it's placement and standing, so despite the few potentially intriguing scenes it showcases there's not going to be a whole lot that really gets out-of-hand so it can get the widespread appeal, and that overall is it's biggest problem. There's potential here with the contact and mysterious messages she leaves behind, but overall this is a wasted opportunity.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.
ivl2003 This is the Sound Of White Noise for experiments, such as in this film: http://turbobit.net/3yw2j2zutksg.html excellent quality. It is used by some emergency vehicle sirens due to its ability to cut through background noise, which makes it easier to locate. White noise is commonly used in the production of electronic music, usually either directly or as an input for a filter to create other types of noise signal. It is used extensively in audio synthesis, typically to recreate percussive instruments such as cymbals which have high noise content in their frequency domain. It is also used to generate impulse responses. To set up the equalization (EQ) for a concert or other performance in a venue, a short burst of white or pink noise is sent through the PA system and monitored from various points in the venue so that the engineer can tell if the acoustics of the building naturally boost or cut any frequencies. The engineer can then adjust the overall equalization to ensure a balanced mix.
