YES, i did, but in the last scenes only. well, it wasn't made for cries am i right? but somethings about this movie left me in deep thoughts, about the secret of life, what is death, it left me emotionally frustrated, i don't know why did i cry, but this movie has a deep meaning, just the thought of "you're not immortal" makes you wonder..... at some scenes i felt like i feel what the characters feel, like Katee's final scene, it was amazing, the eyes turning, the screaming, she did amazing, i felt something strange whilst this scene was playing. am not writing this review as for people to watch the movie or not, i am just writing it to tell people that i have experienced something different from what they all had. for them it's just a horror movie, but all that talk about the devil, tria mera, the third day, it all seems nonsense to some people, but when you put these things in one movie they just sum up a wonderful terrifying story... i was surprised of how underrated the film is, i have never heard of it, but am more than glad that i have seen it. i don't know about you, but i could swear that i have seen some sort of a ghost, and heard some noise at the kitchen, there's no wind around, and everybody's asleep, what am i going to die?

I'm one of those who really enjoyed White Noise at the time, and was warned by others not to watch this sequel on account of it being... well, not good. I never take such advice, I always like to see for myself, and most times the experience is rewarding. However, in the case of White Noise 2, while I'm glad I watched it, I can't help but agreeing with the critics.The first part of the story is excellent. The audience is immediately sucked into sympathy and grief for the protagonist's tragedy, and is curious to find out how he's going to cope with his loss and his new "condition". The idea of being able to "see" people who are about to die and try to save them was very nice, like an extended development of The Unbreakable. Also, I found the acting to be excellent on all accounts. Nathan Fillion is in my book a great actor, and since he gets most of the screen time in White Noise 2 as the protagonist, you'd notice if he wasn't. Katee Sackhoff also does a great job, and altogether the entire cast is very successful.Unfortunately, that's all the praises I can give to this anticlimactic sequel. The use of static "white noises" is clumsy and far-fetched. The idea behind the build up being more than semi-religious with an attempt to add "historical hints" is simply unsuccessful, and the ending is way too sci-fi for a Horror film that is supposedly of the ghost-story sub- genre. While the first film was an innovating and original Horror screenplay making an excellent use of EVP and such, the second simply feels like a sad attempt to milk the idea.So all in all, yes, I did enjoy watching White Noise 2, and the shots of "static ghosts" were in fact quite scary, but the film as a whole was very disappointing. I don't think I'd be able to recommend it, nor say that isn't worthy of watching. An accurate 5/10.

White Noise 2 is a perfect example of how creatively and commercially barren modern Hollywood has become. It's a direct-to-DVD sequel that no one demanded for a movie that very few people watched, and the sequel isn't even about the same stuff as the original.The premise of the original White Noise is that you can capture the voices or images of the dead on electronic recording equipment. White Noise 2 makes a few references to that idea, but it's really about Near Death Experiences, The Devil and predestination. Without checking on it at all, I'd bet money that this was an original screenplay that had some rather unrelated things shoehorned into it so they could pass it off as a sequel. I suppose some studio executive turned down the original script for a big screen movie and then some other executive decided that if they could trick people into thinking it was a legitimate sequel to White Noise, they might be able to get a few DVD rentals out of the folks who saw the first film. Boy, I bet that was a fun meeting for the writer.Anyway, White Noise 2 is about this guy named Abe (Nathan Fillion) who sees his family gunned down in front of his eyes and the killer, named Henry (Craig Fairbrass), shoot himself in the head. Unable to live without his family, Abe tries to commit suicide. He dies, sees a white light and is about to join his family in the afterlife when those meddling doctors bring him back to life. I don't know about you, but if I knew that killing myself would reunite me in Heaven with my wife and child, I'd just keep doing it until I finally got it right. Abe, however, simply gives up on the idea. After his suicide attempt, Abe discovers that he can see an aura around other people when they are going to die. Eventually, he starts using this "super-power" (as his Movie Black Friend calls it) to save people from impending death. One of the people he saves is the cute nurse, Sherri (Katee Sackhoff), who tended to him in the hospital. But Abe finds out that when you interfere with destiny and save people who were supposed to die, even worse things result. Throw in one completely unbelievable revelation and an ending that has absolutely nothing to do with anything in this movie OR anything in the first film, and that's White Noise 2.This isn't a terrible film, especially for a PG-13 scary movie. It does rely too much on sudden flashes of frightening images to startle the audience. That works the first couple of times, but loses its effect really quickly. And like many mediocre scary movies, it has that one, big, fat exposition scene where everything is bluntly explained to the audience, even stuff that was never previously mentioned or had been only vaguely foreshadowed in the story.The acting is okay for this sort of thing, and if this is the sort of thing you're interested in, the plot doesn't insult your intelligence. It is very obvious, though, that all of the stuff in this film that references the first White Noise doesn't have a darn thing to do with what this movie is about. I wonder if the scenes and dialog cut out to make room for the "No, really. This is a sequel to White Noise. I'm being serious, here" nonsense might have made it a better story if left in.If you're in the mood for a PG-13 "horror" movie, White Noise 2 isn't that bad a choice. As I mentioned before, it does have only two markedly stupid moments in it, which is better than usual for the PG-13 "horror" genre. Now, why anyone who wants to be scared would only want to be frightened to the level of PG-13…that's another subject entirely.

This movie is one of the worst films I have ever seen. First, It has absolutely nothing to do with white noise, so why name it white noise II? Second the acting in this movie was sup par. And the 'special' effects, as in a bunch of mentally deranged monkeys were hired to do them, were just way too ridiculous and overdone! The movie starts off with potential and then horribly crashes. There is no sense of time in the film, and it feels like everything happens in a disorganized flash of mind numbing ridiculousness. Random black and white people who are supposed to be ghosts pop out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever to harass Abe(the main character) for who knows why! Once Abe learns that the white light means that the person is going to die, he decides to save people. So the first people that he tries to save is a bum. Who is probably the stupidest bum man you've ever seen. Seriously I bet that if you let bums see the bum scene they would tell you that the bum in the film was obviously out of his mind and deserved to die too. The second person he tries to save, is the most crotchety and annoying stupid old man you've ever encountered. Seriously if your car breaks down on the road and you need to go under it to fix something you put out flairs AND YOU DON'T LAY DOWN WITH YOUR LEGS STRETCHED OUT INTO THE LANE!! If someone tries to help you, you don't call them a freaky metrosexual.Also, why would ONE person saved from death need to then go on and KILL MANY people? It just doesn't make sense! It doesn't balance anything and its ridiculous.EVERY transition in the film is either some random cross, upside down cross,a random Jesus painting or a fade out of the main character with a random cross, upside down cross, or a weird Jesus painting in the background. The connections to Lucifer are ridiculous, I don't even understand the point of any religious connection or the need for any religious connection to this film.Basically if you want a very warped tripped out movie that takes ideas from white noise, poltergeist, the exorcist, pulse and blends them all together to make the most incoherent jumble of random crap with loud noises and a team of mentally deranged monkeys special effects guys this is the movie for you.Bottom line, don't watch this movie unless you're trying to ruin your night/date/relationship with your in laws etc , because after seeing it you'll feel like you wasted your life, and the people watching it with you will wonder if you're on crack.
