The following reviews were submitted on the IMDB message board for White Noise 2

BrandSS90

I would rate it personally, a: 8
What I Like:

• It has a lot of real suspense in it. And I woudn’t say it would be a horror. BUT, It did have a lot of action and drama in it as over all.
• I like this series because it is based on a real complex. Scientists have found out, and continue to study about the paranormal “White Noise” complex.
• The actors are really real in the dialouge. Overall it doesn’t seem rushed, or fake in anyway for a good movie.

What I Don’t Like:

• They could of added some better soundtrack options for the movie.
• Not have a lot of events that happen.. because the event sequence alone seems like it is really dramatic, and too overwelmed by series of events that happen, all at once.

Very good movie!

i give it a 9.0
Its so good. White Noise suckes, but this one is sooo cool. But its cool its PG13, if it was gory it would suck.

I rate it a 7
I love the actors so I would stick with it to the end but the dialog was bad, the script had potential but was fairly shallow.

luckyjoes923

id give it an 8. It was better than the original i thought. It didnt try to hard to be a big pop hit with popular actors or anything. And it was cool.

denisvn93-1

I gave it an 8.

PROS:

• Some really effective scares - that’s a warning for those who dare to watch this alone at midnight…mwahahaha
• Good action elements - the piano death and the final ambulance crash are cool, IMO.
• Blastin’ cinematography - some of the best slo-mo and angles choosing I’ve seen in a while.
• Acting - definitely…speechlezz.

CONS:

• Music - quite shallow at times.
• Loose ending - that scare at the end is unimaginably predictable.

BOTTOM LINE: Way better than the first even though it’s in the STRAIGHT TO DVD category. “OK” choice to spook your friends out during halloween. Reccommended.

I give it a 8

Likes:

• Plot kept me interested. And I really like movies that have scenes where the character is researching.
• I liked the actors
• Much better than the first one
• Couple of good scares, but not over the top.

Dislikes:

• I have never liked it when movies “kill” children. I know it is just a movie, but it just gives me bad vibes. I don’t want to think about children being hurt, even “pretend”That is just me though so I will move on. (smile)
• The ending was corny
• Soundtrack went from really really quiet(could not hear it) to way too loud.

this movie gets a 9. i only rented this movie because it had Nathan Fillion from Serenity and Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica. i actually hate these types of movies. but when i watched it, i was immediately drawn into the movie. the acting is superb, the plot is engaging, and i truly love this movie. also, if you are a fan of Nathan Fillion see Slither

White Noise 2: The Light (2007) is the sequel to the widely-panned 2005 movie White Noise.  How it actually got made, with the terrible reception the first movie received, I don’t know, but I have to say I’m glad it was.

…

The computer graphics are pretty good and well-integrated visually.  The mood is low-key creepy, and while there are plenty of jump-scares (mostly in the form of spectres from video monitors), the movie does not rely on them–it just has them there for fun.  Instead it relies on the main character’s obvious confusion and unease, and his struggles with both his trauma and perceived obligation to do something about what he sees.

This was a good supernatural movie–I wouldn’t call it a horror movie except in a few short scenes.  It has realistic violence but nothing too graphic and not much blood.  The best part of it is definitely Fillion, who plays a rueful, pained but ultimately purposeful protagonist who tries to become a hero without really understanding what that will cause.  The plot is solid, the mystery is creepy and it all wraps tightly around the protagonist until he finds the villain staring back at him in the mirror.

…

All in all, White Noise 2 is a lot more action-based than its predecessor, which is a good thing.  The original movie suffered not only from its acting but from having little for the protagonist to do beside listen to EVP tapes and bear witness.  It also puts most of its weight on the moral dilemmas suffered by the main character instead of just having him obsess about his loss.  What I especially liked was the second climax, which is entirely based on the protagonist’s strength of will. It’s not a particularly deep movie (despite what I’ve said) and easily forgettable, but good entertainment.

“White Noise : The Light” is one of those rare cases when the sequel is not only better than the original, but also a very enjoyable flick on its own account…

From the beginning it knows exactly where it wants to go. It’s not chatty, it’s not dragging, it’s got a point, a plot and a story it wants to tell and that it does without wasting any valuable screen time. It’s very refreshing, because -unlike most films as of late- it won’t let you calm and drift away for any second. It’s focused and it pays off…

The cast is solid. Fillion is great as always (and underrated, seeing how he is regularly passed for second-class actor for cheaper flicks, when in fact he’s a lot more). Katee Shackhoff, someone we’ve gotten used to as “though” on TV is unexpectedly cute and charming, on-point for the demands of her role…

Long story-short, “White Noise: The Light” is a quite enjoyable supernatural flick, which is guaranteed to keep you amused for its course and might even give you a few good scares along the way. For light entertainment with friends in a slow night, it’s a perfect pick. Recommended.

I’m usually averse to supernatural dramas these days, mainly because they’re all so boring, but “White Noise 2″ works and works well.Patrick Lussier gives some dynamite direction being able to shift tones from moody supernatural experience to awfully visual horror film that succeeds in its gruesome imagery and rather shrewd combining of unusual plot devices that join together like puzzle pieces as the story progresses. Fillion is strong here and really sells this role home providing an often sympathetic and uproarious portrayal of this man who is given an incredible power that may be too good to be true.

Katee Sackhoff is utterly adorable as the sweet nurse who manages to bond with Abe … and becomes a guiding force in his life … The relationship and interplay between the two manages to be believable and a well written aspect of the story, but as the story tightens its hold, “White Noise 2″ becomes much more than a simple take on a “Twilight Zone” episode and delves into the cost of saving someone who is, by all accounts, fated to die. I really enjoyed what Lussier and co. had to offer for this standalone sequel, and I’m saddened it wasn’t given too much of a chance to break out as its own film. It’s a hell of a take on an already excellent concept.

This shouldn’t be so good. It’s a consistently shelved sequel to a pretty awful supernatural horror film, but lo and behold thanks to Lussier’s tight direction, gruesome disturbing imagery, wonderful story, and great performance by Nathan Fillion, “White Noise 2″ is a great piece of supernatural filmmaking.

I put in the DVD and hit play and within minutes, I was really impressed. The opening of the movie, in which the inciting incident happens had me hooked…

I was completely ready for the cliched setup, the pop cultural shorthand most storytellers use to get you to quickly understand things about their characters and their lives. What struck me right away was that not only was the opening something I hadn’t really seen before, but that it was really dramatic without being over the top or gratuitous, and for a “horror” movie, that’s really saying something. The subject matter was shocking enough but the director’s (and editor’s) restraint in not displaying the victims’ “bloody death” showed incredible respect for the strength of the story and an understanding that what we don’t see is often more shocking than what we do. My wife, who does not work in entertainment and is by all accounts a “civilian” when it comes to these things, commented out of the blue how well directed it was and I had to agree completely. It was the moment I thought to myself that this film might be something pretty cool.

…

Overall, I was really impressed by White Noise 2. The performances are very strong and completely believable. There are far fewer flaws in this film than you’d expect from a movie in this genre (and of this budget-Patrick whispered what the budget was on this movie and all I have to say is that they must have paid everyone half-scale because it really looks like a film costing twice as much) and the flaws that are apparent are mostly minor enough not to ruin the film. Quite honestly, don’t let the title fool you, nor the “horror” genre tag. This is a very suspenseful thriller with lots of drama and some good scares so grab it, pop some popcorn and turn down the lights. This movie gets a “recommend”.

It’s taken just over a year since its theatrical release in the UK for White Noise 2 to make it to DVD shelves in the USA. 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.

[Nathan Fillion] delivers an emotional and very believable character. This is not his typical jovial hero role and for the most part the character is very strong and you find yourself attached more and more to him as the movie progresses.

I am not going to give you the gist of the movie because I really do not want to spoil the film but I can tell you this one is not about a man sitting in front of a TV trying to talk to his dead family. Instead its about a man who takes a much more active role with the dead, and ends up having a close encounter with much more then just evil things in the TV. Overall its a very unique take on the first film and a very good sequel. The key things that stand out are a very strong story that I believe is even better then the first film. Add to that the fact that the story doesnt go in a straight line, it twists it turns and each event, no matter how small is tied together. I have to say that I enjoyed White Noise 2 just as much as the first one. If you enjoyed the first one or mildly were entertained by it I think you might find this second one even better! Well worth buying in my books!

I dont want to spoil the movie for you but I can say without question if you enjoyed the first White Noise you will without question like this one and perhaps you will be like me and enjoy it even more then the first one. This movie is not about cliche boo’s and scares it has some truly fantastic writing that twists, turns and comes together in a neat little package in the final scenes and impressed the hell out of me. I have never seen such effort on a direct to dvd sequel in the writing department.

The film although creepy is far from gruesome but it does have some damn cool FX and a few creepy shots and plenty of dead people to pop in from time to time and make you jump. The movie is PG13 but I think its a PG13 that works. It relies on great writing, good direction and great acting to tell a supernatural tale that has an outcome that is unclear till the end. I am one of those people that can usually guess where a movie is going 5 minutes into it and its annoying. It was a nice treat to be entertained for a change and have a roller coaster ride as the story unfolded, but did so in a fashion that made sense. If you like supernatural thrillers with great writing, good direction and a talented cast White Noise 2 is for you! I highly reccomend it especially if you saw and thought the first one was even mildly entertaining!

The story is somewhat reminiscent to the one in “The Eye”…

… the movie get going very quickly so that you won’t be bored for a second. For the first half hour, we’re provided with scares and a small connection to the first movie, just to keep the audience’ interest. But the real entertainment begins when the main story begins. I was sucked right into it. Who could have thought that a sequel to a movie as bland as White Noise could be this good?

If you liked the first movie, you will love this sequel, and more realistically, if you hated the first movie, you might still love this sequel since it has very little to do with the first one. I will definitely have to recommend this clever horror thriller as it’s been a long time since I saw a theatrical horror flick that was this good. A top-notch thriller.
