CONSENSUS (www.rottentomatoes.com):
While there are some built-in scares, the movie is muddled and unsatisfying.

C- "In lieu of satisfying answers, we get crude gee-whizzikers scares, cribbed from the horror canon."
-- Scott Brown, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

1.5/5 "White Noise begins as an overlit paean to trophy-wifedom and 'lifestyle' living, then practically gets down on its knees and begs to be called 'a stylish thriller.'"
-- Carina Chocano, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"White Noise pretty much describes the content of this lackluster, scare-free story."
-- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

"Although director Geoffrey Sax gives White Noise its share of suspense, he's hampered by Niall Johnson's script, which is often confusing, muddy and ultimately cliche-ridden."
-- Desson Thomson, WASHINGTON POST

D+ "About as much fun as watching static on TV."
-- Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS
I've heard awful reviews for it as well; the last few movies Michael Keaton has made have been mediocre (Jack Frost anyone?).
