I saw this film by chance. I actually prefer this film to the first one as the cast did not look wooden in this one. With the first one it was about radio noise, this one is about seeing thing's when you have a near death experience. The cast are much better as I have just said. This is just a film that tries to explain about life and death and if you should save people's lifes if there time is up. This film was quite good. I thought this movie was quite imaginative. I would recommend this to people who are open minded.
dull and totally not scary

It's a shame that when someone goes to such lengths to create a spooky old fashioned thriller, they forget to fill in the glaring pot holes on their road to success... for that is what has derailed this otherwise above-par chiller.
This film has no connection to its predecessor, so can and should be taken on its own merits. Nathan Fillion (better known as his Hans Solo-Lite character from Firefly and Serenity) sees his wife and child murdered in front of him, and subsequently decides to end his own life. He is resuscitated but in the process has a near death experience.. oh wait, I should call that an NDE, as any important plot point seems to require a Three Letter Abbreviation in this movie.. which allows him to hear EVP (don't ask, it's just a tenuous connection to the first movie) and see `The Light', which indicates people who are about to become DOA. What at first looks like an opportunity to help, becomes a dark and dangerous road, ultimately leading him to understand his wife and child's death. Along the way, he meets Katee Sackhoff, another survivor from cult TV land, in this case Battlestar Galactica. She does ok, but her acting range seems to be 99 shades of smiles, without actually emoting much. I hope both she and Fillion find a vehicle more worthy of their talents. Aside from a great set piece multiple death involving a piano, there are no real stand out scenes that could make the movie more memorable, unfortunately.. and the jump in your seat moments work, but are the sort of easy trick that hides over lack of imagination.
So the plot is full of holes, and effects barely up to scratch (though at least not over relied on), but on the plus side there are some effective jump-in-your-seat moments and the acting is fine. The acting is good enough to almost warrant a 4 star, until the disappointing ending dooms the movie to two star territory. It's not a complete train wreck though, and if you are a horror completist or a Fillion fan, go ahead and watch - it's not the worst movie you'll see this year. Otherwise, would it be too obvious to say.. stay away from The Light..?
I wasn't expecting great things

The first of the White Noise films was pretty weak and had a lot of plot holes. "The light" sequel is not really a sequel in that it's totally independent of the first film plot-wise. It starts off better than the first film, but it's the pseudo-religious aspect which leaves the plot weak because you're not sure then whether it's a film about the paranormal, or if it is an "Omen" style occultism type story. So it feels a but muddled while you watch it. In the end I guess if you think about it too much then the film does weaken further. It's quite entertaining though and it does have a few unexpected "jumps", so it gets 2 stars from me since it's an improvement on the first "White noise" movie.
