White Noise 2: The Light may build up a following
…White Noise 2: The Light is a film that may actually build up more of a following after release as people suddenly realise that it is actually a great Friday night movie. Oh of course it is never going to be a classic but I went to see this not expecting that much at all and came out of the cinema impressed and having enjoyed a good 90 minutes odd entertainment.
A lot of this is to do with Fillion (the main reason I went to see it) he has a great B-movie style to him (could he become the new Bruce Campbell?), an ability to find himself in a ludicrous storyline but still manage to treat it with complete seriousness and a sense of humour at the same time. I have a lot of time for him and will certainly watch him in anything he is in. While the part of Abe isn’t up to the quality of the sheriff in Slither Abe is a man you feel for. You feel his despair and then jump for joy with him as he finds a way out of his depression through the white light…Katee Sackhoff is a real find though, she looks great (which helps!) but she also comes across as a real person. The chemistry between her and Fillion is a very big plus to the story. It makes you get more involved in it and accepting of the more supernatural sides to what is going on…
If you have avoided this film because of its connection to White Noise think again, if you like b-movie style horror thrillers this is a thoroughly entertaining piece of film. Don’t expect brilliance from it, just expected to be entertained by it just like you should be from this type of movie, something filmmakers seem to forget more often than not these days.
