White Noise

This Bizarre thriller deals with a strange documented phenomenon where supernatural communications are perceived through detuned radio and video equipment. Static and Snow reveal images, and voices, from what appear to be dead people. The whole thing is rather strange. Michael Keaton (Much Ado About Nothing) plays a man who has recently lost his second wife, and longs for her all the time. 
He is visited by a man who says he has heard from her, and soon he becomes obsessed with the white noise signals that may hold remnants of his wife.
Soon, the messages he intercepts direct him down a bizarre path, and he finds many strange occurrences that all seemed to be linked to the white noise. He also befriends a few people who are into different things, but who all seem connected. His television is also haunted by the shadow of three strange beings.

Overall, a cryptic and shadowy movie, it doesn’t really do all that well with the suspense as it telegraphs all the scary parts, and also, it just doesn’t resolve enough, and you can’t make it out, you can’t figure out what is actually going on. On the whole, it’s just too mystical and not explained enough. 1, but a fine performance by Keaton.
