I has been on a long run of 90s thrillers before I stopped writing entries and when I dialed up White Noise I immediately missed those and wanted more.
Michael Keaton stars in this very if it’s time movie, a movie i remember very clearly coming out and the ads on tv. It has that last grasp of retro tech while later having early cgi. It was a strange transition time for movies.
Keaton is a happily married man whose wife is pregnant and one day vanishes on a late night car ride home. Keaton begins to hear strange messages around 2:30am and he begins to be followed by a guy who tells him he hears dead people and has heard his wife. When Keaton learns his wife did indeed die he returns to hear what this guy has to say and discovers more than he wanted to know.
I remember seeing ads like I said and thinking “looks dumb” but honestly this is kinda fine. It has a good build and it movie quickly and there’s genuine emotion and some ok startles.
The acting is good and everything chugs along into a slightly convoluted end. I would say it’s got some decent stuff going for it. I guess I had low expectations. Also maybe watching awful Witchcraft movies gave me all fucked. I’ll give it like a 3.5
