Great piece of Supernatural Filmmaking
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.
