White Noise (2005)

Horror/thriller about the dead communicating with the living through what is known as electronic voice phenomena (EVP). WN uses a number of tricks that Hollywood has learned from the Japanese over the years. For a while it’s successfully implemented, but by the third act it’s dumped into a large bag of missed opportunity and dropped down the shitter.
Michael Keaton played Mr Serious well, but the role needed more than that. I like Ian McNeice so it was fun to see him. Everyone else had little or nothing to do and had a similar level of impact on the story.
