Though I'm well disposed toward elliptical spook stories that depend on the audience's imagination for their jolts and effects, it takes art as well as craft to put them across, and Geoffrey Sax's direction of a Niall Johnson script has neither.

White noise is intended to help you fall asleep. White Noise would never let you do that, though. It's far too interested in a cacophony of cheap scares.

White Noise is little more than an old-fashioned ghost story with a newfangled twist.

Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten

Thrill-free thriller.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

There's no horror to speak of.
