People have always searched for a way to communicate with the other side--fascinated, motivated, driven to find a way to connect with loved ones who have passed on.Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) is the process through which the dead communicate with the living through household recording devices. These extraordinary recordings--captured by people all over the world, in their homes, with a simple tape or video recorder--seem to confirm what many of us have dared to believe: it is possible for the dead to communicate with us. more..

Review By themovieboy :

Kudos should go right away to Universal Pictures for concocting a bang-up advertising campaign for "White Noise." The trailers and television spots do not give much of anything away concerning the plot, all the while using allegedly real EVP recordings to introduce the viewer to the supernatural subject in which the film is about. The result is one of the creepiest, most skin-crawling trailers in some time.

Any film that is advertised in such a high-and-mighty fashion is (1) destined to disappoint, and (2) a sign of studio desperation. More..

That would be John Rivers (Michael Keaton), who starts off the film looking comfortable, and not particularly interested in static. He and his second wife, lovely Anna (Chandra West), live in a fabulous, simultaneously spacious and acutely angled house (he's an architect in Washington state, she's an "international author," whatever that means) and share a sincere affection for one another, as well as for John's son Mikey (Nicholas Elia), product of a previous marriage, now living with them. Their morning routine is sweet and mutually supportive -- he's headed to his huge firm downtown, she's going to check the cover design for her latest novel) -- and only briefly interrupted by Anna's announcement: she's pregnant. more..
