Customer Reviews

Terrible
'White Noise 2: The Light' is the sequel to the surprisingly good 2005 supernatural thriller (White Noise) and unfortunately this is very disappointing indeed.

The film starts off when Abe Dale (Nathan Fillion from Firefly/Serenity) witnesses his family being shot to death by a stranger in a cafe and he then attempts suicide which he survives, resulting in a near death experience. Abe then can see those among the living who are about to die as they have a light shining from them. Abe then begins to try and save those who are about to die, only to then find out that there is a price to be paid for saving them from death.

The story itself is fairly similar to the original but you get the feeling that Abe doesn't care all that much about his murdered family as he doesn't show the depression, obsession and emotion that Keaton acted out so well in the original (he also begins to date his nurse only 3 months after the murders). This film is extremely poor that seems to be using the White Noise name to sell a TV film to DVD and cinema. The acting is bad, the script is bad, the characters are bad, the film is not scary in the slightest, only with a ghost or two popping up every now and then for a quick fright. The special effects are rubbish and Abe running around like Batman to save people from death is laughable. Avoid.

I wasn't expecting great things
The first of the White Noise films was pretty weak and had a lot of plot holes. "The light" sequel is not really a sequel in that it's totally independent of the first film plot-wise. It starts off better than the first film, but it's the pseudo-religious aspect which leaves the plot weak because you're not sure then whether it's a film about the paranormal, or if it is an "Omen" style occultism type story. So it feels a but muddled while you watch it. In the end I guess if you think about it too much then the film does weaken further. It's quite entertaining though and it does have a few unexpected "jumps", so it gets 2 stars from me since it's an improvement on the first "White noise" movie.

White Noise gave me the shivers
White Noise 2, is of course a sequel to the original, however this time its with different characters,
This follow up focuse's on a man (amazingly played by nathan fillion) who after losing his wife and son in a murder in a cafe, he finds himself wishing for his life to end, so he trys to commit suicide, and is brought back, but around certain people he see's a light that seems to hang over them like a invisible blanket. He soon realises the people with this light are dying, so he decides to save the people, but of course this courses other problems
this is a well structured, well acted little shocker that actually made me jump more than i have in years
the characters are likeable, the script has a few new things to say (including a nice in-joke about nathan fillion in serenity)
well directed, and i would reccommend this little gem
its not going to change the world, but its a good film that doesnt try to hard
i give this a 4/5 for all the above and its nice to see a horror movie that doesnt need to gore us in the process and rely on story insted!
