Movie Review: White Noise 2 : The Light

This movie is very well made and has a surprisingly strong story. The main character is played by Nathan Fillion as Abe Dale who suffers a tragedy and becomes part of an unfolding one that opens in front of him almost in an origami like pattern. It kept my attention all the way through but it's not what I'd called a 'scary movie'. Sure there are ghosts and things popping in and out of reality but the heart of the movie is about Nathan's quest for the truth about what happened to his family. I liked this movie but it's a sequel and there are a few disconnects which makes the movie feel a little patchy. All in all, it's a nice 'evening in' movie if you looking for a few scares but not too many. I give this movie a D+. Nathan was very convincing and showed a darker side to him than normally portrayed. Kattee Sackhoff of Battlestar Galactica fame also plays a supporting role but is more of a femme fatalle. She smiles a lot in the movie and it looks a bit strange like she's in on some unspoken joke once or twice but who cares, she is very watchable and wonderful eye candy.
