A thriller that explores the unsettling possibility that the dead can contact us... all we have to do is listen. When architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) loses his wife in a tragic accident, he turns to the shadowy, unnerving world of Electronic Voice Phenomenon - communication from beyond the grave. But as he begins to penetrate the mysteries of EVP, Jonathan makes a shocking discovery: once a portal to the other world is opened, there's no telling what will come through it.

Critics Consensus: While there are some built-in scares, the movie is muddled and unsatisfying.

Brian Orndorf

A lazy, muddled snooze that happily tenders pure fantasy to those with an endless curiosity about the hereafter.

Sadly, there are a hundred possible scenarios that might have made more sense than the gobbledygook plot White Noise ends up presenting...

Koel Purie has a nice blithe presence. Unfortunately, White Noise does not prove to be an adequate stage for her.

Dumb would-be thriller -- save your money.

This is one big missed opportunity.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie is a thriller with an overall theme that may be disturbing to some family members. There are brief grisly images and references to violence and some scary (but well within PG-13-range) surprises. A character attempts suicide and others are killed, including one who is shot. There is brief strong language and brief drinking. The movie contains a reference to "an earthquake in India" that may be upsetting due to current events. And according to this movie, only white, middle class people communicate with each other after death.
