Tagline: The dead are trying to get a hold of you.
Plot: Until the sudden and mysterious death of his beloved wife, architect Jonathan Rivers (MICHAEL KEATON) considered himself a decent, rational man, one who would not ordinarily subscribe to any theories about communicating with the dead. But now, a stranger, Raymond Price (IAN McNEICE), has entered his life, claiming to have heard Jonathan’s wife, Anna (CHANDRA WEST), through EVP. Fueled by his grief as much as curiosity, Jonathan soon finds himself swayed by Raymond’s claims, validated by the recordings of Anna as well as the testimonial of Sarah Tate (DEBORAH KARA UNGER), who herself has found closure with her deceased fiancée through EVP. Jonathan comes to believe when Raymond says of the dead, “I can hear them, I can see them and I can record them.”Then, the unthinkable—Jonathan himself captures Anna’s voice and image through recordings he has made; she has established direct contact.

The film was working well as a thrill, yet the last 1/4 of the film and the conclusion become confused and sporadic as the momentum and flow of the film is lost.  --Von Kallenbach (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
Although many may disagree, I found the movie to be pretty interesting. Very slow-paced with little in terms of scares, but a solid story with a nice performance by Keaton. Worth a check if you're into ghost flicks or something that isn't all about the scares. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Geoffrey Sax, a British television director making his theatrical debut, lavishes enough craft on the paranormal thriller to send more than a few chills down the spine.--Kirk Honeycutt (Hollywod Reporter)
What might have been a rote horror exercise becomes instead a twitchy, mannered, often amusing rote horror exercise.--Scott Brown (Entertainment Weekly)
An unsatisfying supernatural thriller with an effectively unsettling build-up and a frustratingly muddled pay-off.--Joe Leydon (Variety)
White Noise tries to do a lot of things, but only some of them come off as strong as they should. Is this a straight horror film? Is it a murder mystery? Ultimately I think it's a bit of both.  --Uncle Creepy (horrorchannel.com)

Overall the movie is a pretty cool one on the lines of The Sixth Sense but very original indeed. It had its own style and it delivered the best corner of the ghost world, EVP.  -- (terrorwatch.net)
