After the tragic loss of his wife, Jonathan Rivers heads into a deep depression over his tragic loss. A few days following the loss of his wife, Jonathan is visited by a man by the name of Ray Price who says he has been contacted by the late Anna. Jonathan eventually looks up Ray and learns of EVP, electronic voice phenomenon, where the dead try and communicate to the living through the subtle "white noise" that is all around us. Jonathan becomes obsessed with the ability and soon learns more than he could ever imagine.

White Noise is a cross between The Ring and The Sixth Sense and a fan of either of those films will probably enjoy it very much.

Micheal Keaton stars as Jonathan Rivers, and after a little absence from the screen it was good to see him back.

He plays the part well and I really cared for his character thanks to Keaton's everyman quality. He’s is pretty much the focal point of the movie as Debra Kara Unger is the only other character in the movie with any screen time.

The film follows Rivers as he becomes obsessed and isolated by trying to communicate with his wife. Rivers buys high-tech equipment and becomes lost in Ray's massive stacks of recorder information. There is a little computer mumbo jumbo at times but the movie and the EVP aspects are very easy to follow.

Even though most of the film take place in front of a computer there are quite a few jumps and scares to be enjoyed, there are also some truly creepy scenes at one time or another, and the theater audience gave a few collective gasps at times. There is no gore but fans of tight suspense will be very satisfied.

The best thing about this movie is how it draws you in. I mean, as Rivers was looking at the films and listening to the audio recordings, I found myself leaning in to study the screen and turning my head to try and listen to what was muffled on the tapes, you truly become part of the film as you try and decipher what’s on the tapes and screens before Rivers does.

White Noise is a good flick and is worth the price of the ticket. It is a film about loss and trying to cope with sadness, which is something we can all really relate to at one time or another. The ending leaves you hanging a bit, but it also could lead into a follow up film, which could be quite interesting. A good mix of mystery and chills and an excellent job by Michael Keaton gives White Noise a 6 of 10 from me.
