Not even Nathan Fillion could save White Noise 2. This straight-to-DVD sequel has a ridiculous story and awful writing. Plus, it kept treating the audience like they were a bunch of idiots. There are a few cool stunts and some creepy imagery, but it's mostly just a waste of time.

Call this a "White Noise" sequel and maybe you draw a few more viewers than you would if you called it something else. But this is not a true sequel, and maybe that's for the best as "White Noise" with Michael Keaton left much to be desired. In WN2, Nathan Fillion of "Firefly/Serenity" fame plays an average joe whose family is brutally killed in front of him. The plot is a bit convoluted, but what it boils down to is, in the aftermath of their deaths, Fillion discovers he can spot people who are about to die. He decides to play superhero and save them, only to find worse things follow when he does. Much worse things. The film's mood is properly eerie, and Fillion is nicely subdued as our haunted and confused hero. This is a Canadian flick, which means you won't recognize most of the cast. Good for a late night scare or two.

A couple of days later, the grieving Abe misses his family and commits suicide ingesting many pills at home, but is rescued by his friend Marty Bloom and saved by the doctors.

1st watched 5/6/2009 – (Dir-Patrick Lussier): Corny yet effective story about a man who experiences a near death experience and then gains the ability to tell that others are going to die by a white haze that appears around them. Once he determines this is what's going on, he has to decide what to do about it? He starts trying to save these people and has some successes but then he learns later that they then kill others. There is another subplot revolving around his family and the fact that they were killed in front of him by a man who then put himself in the hospital after attempting to kill himself. This happened at the beginning of the movie before he had his near death experience. This complicated plot is handled pretty well by the director and is played well by Nathan Fillion for the most part. The man that killed him family turned out to have had a near death experience as well but kind of went crazy and felt that he had to kill as well as save to balance things out, I guess. The only annoying thing about the movie was a few scare tactics thrown in where the main character sees the dead who were not saved -- really just frightening him, more than anything. This doesn't really add anything to the movie but appears to just be there to make the movie more like a horror story. As a mystery, the movie works pretty well --- which if it was more this way – it would have been better, in my opinion. But all in all, the movie is compelling and keeps you interested despite some of it's flaws.
