The paranormal phenomenon surely has its millions of converts, but White Noise is so silly, it just may turn many into non-believers.

Though I'm well disposed toward elliptical spook stories that depend on the audience's imagination for their jolts and effects, it takes art as well as craft to put them across, and Geoffrey Sax's direction of a Niall Johnson script has neither.

Top Critic White noise is intended to help you fall asleep. White Noise would never let you do that, though. It's far too interested in a cacophony of cheap scares.

'Mejor hay que esperar hasta que salga en DVD. Por lo menos los extras deben traer algo más interesante'

Jamais gasta um minuto que seja para estabelecer melhor as motivações dos personagens.
