Well, you definitely won\u2019t see that here. Keaton is the glue that holds <em>White Noise<\/em> together, and by far the most prominent member for the cast. Through his ability to emote, Keaton makes Jonathan\u2019s mourning for his wife feel believable and heartfelt.<\/p>\n<p>The script also calls upon Keaton to convincingly portray Jonathan\u2019s descent into obsession with making contact with his wife from beyond the grave. It\u2019s not a natural impulse, but Keaton has a way of making it seem real enough for someone as desperate as Jonathan.<\/p>\n<h3>The EVP Transforms Jonathan<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"White Noise (2005)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jmr3desqHGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cscience\u201d behind EVP as a spiritual medium is questionable at best, and the film introduces Raymond Price (<strong>Ian McNeice<\/strong>) as the kook\/expert in the field. What\u2019s interesting about Raymond is that he\u2019s not a charlatan, and he doesn\u2019t directly benefit from attempting to reconnect the living with their late loved ones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/must-watch-thrillers-on-netflix-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-source=\"00\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/must-watch-thrillers-on-netflix-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-source=\"00\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">14 Must-Watch Thrillers on Netflix Right Now (August 2025)<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tEvery now and then, Netflix will drop an original movie so good that it outshines the other Netflix originals by a wide margin. This month, the film that lives up to that standard is Night Always Comes, a thriller starring Vanessa Kirby. Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t a lot of fresh thrillers to choose from beyond that [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the unexpected turns in the film is that Jonathan slowly morphs into Raymond by transitioning from skeptic to believer. He essentially takes over Raymond\u2019s cause and makes it his own. Jonathan actually does some heroic things this way, but he also badly neglects his son, Mike (<strong>Nicholas Elia<\/strong>). Jonathan\u2019s a tragic figure in this story, and he never fully realizes the full extent of the danger he\u2019s placed himself in by blindly reaching out to the spirit world.<\/p>\n<h3>There Are Some Genuinely Creepy Moments<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"White Noise (2005) Official Trailer - Michael Keaton, Deborah Kara Unger Movie HD\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7v1G8IQBqj8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This is a ghost story, but most of the supernatural events are either on the recordings made by Jonathan and Raymond or conveyed through the shadowy demons that recur throughout the movie. Some of <em>White Noise<\/em>\u2018s best moments are when the demons\u2019 influence is directly felt, including the very vulgar messages they leave Jonathan.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s understandable why some viewers may have felt let down by the demons\u2019 final scene in the movie. It comes off as a poorly edited and ill-conceived sequence. Regardless, the ending of the movie comes full circle for Jonathan. And there\u2019s enough to enjoy in<em> White Noise<\/em> that we can forgive some of its late missteps.<\/p>\n<p><em>White Noise<\/em> is streaming on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/70018717\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/netflix-just-added-this-spooky-michael-keaton-thriller-thats-perfect-for-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2005, Michael Keaton starred in the unexpectedly successful supernatural horror thriller White Noise.
