I just watched the movie, White Noise, and I, found it scary. Even my cat looked nervous. I thought about EVPs, and yes, as far as I am concerned, there is another spiritual dimension, and I am also sure that not all spirits summoned are good. While watching the movie, I was wondering if Keaton's 'movie wife' was herself killed? A little confusing, the director probably wanted his audience to figure it out? All said- I enjoyed it.

Mothman Prophecies is number 2 for me. Godsend and Sixth Sense are in there but Sixth Sense doesn't survive much rewatching. The 1981 Ghost Story holds up very well over time. I don't need the central conflict as much as I need the internal consistency so the paranormal phenomena is believable, some characters that I like, and the straight out scare without too much gruesomeness.

The biggest problem I had with White Noise', other than not finding it scary or the least bit creepy, is that it lacks a central conflict. And the whole process of looking at, or listening to, "noise" is so uncinematic that the film just tapers out by the middle. Then again, I think The Mothman Prophecies is one of the scariest films to come out in the last twenty five years. So it's possible I'm the abnormal one.
