Horror By Numbers


Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at 11:32 PM

...but boy, trying to get to sleep in a dark, quiet room with some audio equipment tonight will be difficult.

I must say, after reading an Empire review of White Noise, I had expected it to suck ass. But I must say the review was harsh *... the film was good. Not spectacular, but good.

FUMPING scary in places, too. Proper "horror by numbers" action with plenty of moments when you're just waiting to jump out of your seat. One of the earliest moments involves a ticking clock, that stops ticking... and when Johnathan reaches up for it... well, I'm not going to spoil it :-)

What plot holes there are get covered up by the whole tense / nervous feeling you have all the time (Lev pointed out that apparently when you're stressed/nervous you touch your face alot. He also noticed himself, myself and every other person he could see in the cinema doing it!)... although the ending does feel a little tacked on.

I'd go and see it, but only if you don't mind getting scared - or on the other hand, if you like staring just below the screen so that you don't jump too much when the inevitable "BOO!" moment appears... er... not that I did that. No. Because I'm rock solid, me. Rock solid. On my own. In this quiet room. Late in the evening.

....

....

Hmm, I'm sure there should've been a shriek of violins and a cat jumping in the room by now.

I think I'll put some music on.


* And besides Empire gave Alexander 4 stars (and that was rubbash) so what do they know? Eh? EH?
