Let's face it, the original White noise was far from being a scary and worthwhile film so why in the name of God would you want to watch or heaven forbid make a sequel. The answer is you wouldn't and White noise 2 is a bad start to 2007 for horror aficionados or fans of cinema in general. I was intrigued when Nathan Fillion (who is a genuinely good actor) jumped onboard the project but the rest of the cast are all over the place, including direct to DVD star Craig Fairbrass. It's a wonder White Noise 2 didn't go direct to DVD, it's scare free script is truly bottom shelf at the video store stuff, the film barely deserves that credit, so forget about the hell it's distributors felt it was good enough for a cinema release! The story has Fillions wife and son murdered at the beginning, and in his grief Fillion pops one pill to many and has a near death experience. When he is brought back into the world he realises he can see who is about to die and promptly begins to rescue them. However those he saves are destined to commit murders 72 hours after Fillions rescue and so Fillion has to find a way to stop them. I don't blame you if your disgiusted just by that summary, I sure as hell would. The Director Patrick Lussier (Who?????) can't keep a scene fresh or tense without it becoming soggy or funny. You know a horror movies bad when it's making you laugh more than your average comedy and White noise 2 does just that.
