White Noise, the chilling supernatural thriller film directed by Geoffrey Sax and starring Michael Keaton, experienced its theatrical release on January 7, 2005, in the United States. The movie delves deep into the world of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), which involves capturing the supposed voices of the deceased through electronic means. The film follows architect Jonathan Rivers (portrayed by Keaton) who, after losing his wife, embarks on a dangerous journey to untangle the mysteries of EVP and communicate with his deceased loved one.


The captivating and eerie premise of White Noise made it a highly anticipated release back in 2005. The film's trailer piqued the interest of many, and it even entered the box office charts at number two during its release weekend. Although the movie received mixed to negative reviews, it managed to maintain a solid following, especially among those interested in supernatural and thriller genres.


White Noise began paving its way into other regions shortly after its US release. The United Kingdom saw the movie's release on January 21, 2005, while Australian audiences experienced it on February 10, 2005. Since its initial launch, White Noise has resonated with people fascinated by technology's potential role in the afterlife.


The provocative combination of technology, supernatural occurrences, and Michael Keaton's powerful performance made White Noise a cult classic in the thriller genre. Over the years, its legacy has been celebrated with a direct-to-video sequel, White Noise: The Light, released in 2007. Even now, 16 years later, the concept of EVP in the movie is still discussed within paranormal circles and keeps attracting fans intrigued by the idea of communication with the other side.
