White Noise Movie Review 2005

Despite an eerily effective marketing campaign--touting the science behind Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), in which ghosts use electric static to contact the living--this cheap Michael Keaton vehicle should have gone straight to video. After architect Jonathan Rivers (Keaton) loses his wife Anna (West) in a suspicious accident, he retreats into despair. That is, until a stranger (McNeice) convinces Rivers that Anna is sending him messages from beyond the grave via EVP. Rivers becomes obsessed with the transmissions, which awakens a malevolent force unamused with his meddling. The last hour plays like a low budget "Final Destination" retread.
