White Noise: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@RBelmont007]

I remember renting this on DVD and watching it with a friend one night. Movie was over, we let it run through the credits while we talked because we were so bored neither of us could be bothered to turn it off. After a while the DVD screensaver thing came on after the movie auto-shut off and we kept talking. Then the DVD player shut off and the TV blared white noise out of no where and nearly made us piss ourselves. The scariest thing this movie did was bore us enough until my TV gave us a jump scare.

[@troin3925]

That story is much more interesting than the movie.

[@wireboar7321]

@Jairo Ray so you just happened to find this comment that conveniently made the same hour you saw it under,a one year old comment huh

[@controller624]

3 years later, this comment is still easy to find. It's not that hard to believe.

[@viggianoj]

The trailer was so good! I kept expecting to have the character of "Ruth Baxter" introduced in an E.V.P voice or the "Susie Tomlinson grandmother" roll.

[@Cutalizator]

Bloody hell! Deacon, my good man! You are back! Huzzah!

[@mohorovski]

I know this is a little late but normally EVP isn’t just a passive recording. Most of the time people are asking questions or otherwise trying to provoke communication. I think that’s why the medium said it’s like a ouija board. Thanks for the review! Edit: in fact you said it yourself at about 19:30

[@xxironmaidenxx]

Missed your reviews man! Good to see you back.

[@jacksonknightproductions8697]

Ive seen this film only once. I thought it was gonna be a freaky ass horror movie. I remember being miserably disappointed after the credits rolled. Good to see you back Deacon. Hope to see you more often in the coming weeks.

[@BenjCano2020]

Hi Deusdeacon. I discovered your KZbin videos in the month or so before you posted this. Glad to see that such an insightful reviewer is still going strong!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Im glad you stuck around through that lack of content time, videos should hopefully be coming through fairly regularly now.

[@RenegadeVile]

The brain's pattern recognition is a hell of a thing. Sees them even when they're not there.

[@lastofmygeneration]

Enter: Pareidolia - the tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music.

[@Estorium]

For the longest time I thought that this film was part of the Pulse franchise. Shows how memorable both of those franchises were. Anyway, welcome back dude! Missed your reviews.

[@acerbicgeoff7821]

That's the movie I'm thinking of! Thank you, I keep waiting for the weird static demons to climb through a portal in a server room and getting confused

[@Lioness006]

I've only seen the first Pulse movie with Kristen Bell. I own it AND White Noise AND Stay Alive. Lol

[@marcolizzetti265]

Nice, new video by one of the best reviewers I found on KZbin! Thanks, Deusdeacon; I don't always agree with you, but damn if your videos are not very well done, interesting and full to the brim of awesome facts and detail analysis.

[@nicholascauton9648]

Not sure if anyone realizes this. But the medium is the lady from Final Destination 2 who died via spike through the head on the driver's seat of her car...

[@shanedawndusk3290]

I recognize her

[@multitudeofidols]

She was also in _Battlestar Galactica,_ _Bates Motel,_ _Millennium,_ and _Da Vinci's Inquest_ because... Vancouver.

[@anthonycosta2005]

Welcome back my good sir so glad your back missed your reviews

[@bullbegger2281]

Can't remember you saying but a big point of the film that makes it compelling is the fact that the main character misreads pretty much everything and though his actions in trying to save the woman at the end are noble it ultimately leads to his death. A big clue for this is his visit to the medium where she tells him the difference between her and him is she has protection from the evil spirits from her own spirit guide and he has none from using EVP. We also learn from her that he is misreading the EVPs and Messages. What he believes to be a message from Anna in the present telling him to 'Go Now' and save the people on his tapes is in fact itself a future event of HIS impending death. This plays out when he gets to the building site and Anna appears to him how she does on the tape, and her message to him wasn't for him to 'go now' and save the people but to 'go now' and get out of the site, a warning to him not proceed, however he misinterprets it and he pays the price for it.

[@IvanBFit]

Precisely 👏 Do you think the construction worker pushed him to his death? I think he did because he walked back whistling, suggesting he pushed John off the ledge.

[@authordivine10]

I love your research and explanations, so in depth!

[@chesterbonaparte6787]

Truly do enjoy your reviews, great mix of humour, informed opinion, and technical insight. Extremely watchable!

[@nicholascauton9648]

Far more watchable than Nostalgia Critic. Good example is NC calling The Mummy (1999) a bad movie which he tends to compare too much to the 1920s original. Whereas Deusdaecon has a much more technical and more fair review. Even goes as far to say that the movie was actually good.

[@baxterwilson368]

I saw this in the theater and I remember people laughing at the jumpscare ending. It’s my most vivid memory of this whole film.

[@evilbunnyqueen517]

Yay! He's back! How was your one man show? Watching your review was like watching a good movie, never a disappointment

[@thunderchild1083]

Mate you deserve way more subs, your one of my favourite film reviewers keep up the good work buddy

[@reasonablecheese]

Hell yes, more review content! Damn good to see you back dude!

[@JusticeChrist]

I love that vintage late 90's UI at 11:56. Nothing like a poorly compressed jpeg of brushed steel pattern to really bring me back to the days of trying to find a player that can handle the roughly 700 proprietary video codecs floating around the internet at the time.

[@agoldenferret]

I love that you commented about the tea. It’s wonderful and appropriate.

Watched this three times since it posted this morning, favorite movie reviewer by far. Perfect start to the weekend! Thank you 💖

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

[@ycsmdafli5901]

God i love this channel

[@AlbertSirup]

we had a seminar on EVP once where it became clear that if you listen to any short segment of (sometimes filtered) white noise (or other randomized sound sources) for an extended period of time you will start to hear voices. It's just the brain trying to find patterns that resemble language in a highly unstructured soundwave. Putting subtitles underneath a short clip of noise can be even more suggestive because you are already priming the listener to hear that phrase in the sound.

[@misschris325]

Interesting... was the whole seminar on EVP, or paranormal experiences in general?

[@AlbertSirup]

@@misschris325 no it was actually on the history of radio as part of the sound studies department of my school. EVP was just something we dealt with for a few sessions as it also symbolizes the kindof spiritistic qualities people ascribe to new forms of media. As I am studying at an media art school, our professor was mostly concerned with how media can trigger people's imagination (both in terms of creativity and in terms of the paranormal).

[@dahlias.3849]

So happy you're back.i missed your reviews :)

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

I think the husband was trying to come to terms with his grief, and it can cause people to have bouts of extreme rage/despair, as they can't come to terms with what's happened, and are trying to rationalise it to themselves. I've had this happen to myself in that past, and as such i still haven't moved on from that traumatic event, but i had a similar response, when someone pressed me about the subject, where i felt like they had stepped into my personal space, and i needed to forcibly push them away. The rest of the film goes into crazyville from that point onwards, and if it wasn't for some incredible acting from Michael Keaton, i think it wouldn't have had the punch that it did, as i still reference this film from time to time, as it is still a work of fiction worth watching.

Good to see some more reviews 😁😁😁

[@jamesknighton4489]

Yeahhhh Deus is back

[@IvanBFit]

Enjoying this review. Someone could literally understand the movie without seeing it but watching your review. Very well done. That said, I found Price's death eery and sinister looking. However, it was bizarre as to how he died and why the video tape was wrapped around his neck and what looked like some was also stuffed in his mouth. Kind of reminded me of the deaths in the movie the ring. Regarding the end of the movie, it appears the construction worker killed John rather than the 3 silhouettes from the white noise. Because the construction worker walks back to Mary whistling. For him to have gone off screen and walk back whistling with confidence indicates it was the construction worker who pushed John off the ledge. However, it seems the evp influences good (John) and bad (construction worker) people to do good or bad depending on the voices being good vs bad as illustrated in the movie.

your probably joking but thats not a bad idea

[@sarahfields288]

The tea scene, she wouldn't be able to hold it for that long like she was if It was freshly brewed

[@jumpjump2536]

The most frighting thing about this film is the tea. I bet to add insult to injury, she added the milk in first.

[@MobiWanYT]

Yaaaassssss! Welcome back buddy

[@rpproductions6241]

I’m new to your channel but I love your videos. I’ve always been fascinated by the ideas and weird circumstances behind supernatural premises such as this. 🤔 But yeah this movie went off the rails towards the end. Still a guilty pleasure of mine. 😂 Can’t wait to see your other vids!

[@Ars-Nova258]

I saw this when I was young. Even then I was disappointed. You don't know how excited I was when I saw you reviewed it.

[@jessetoler8171]

From a mechanics perspective, evp and Ouija are simular in that in both, questions are asked of the dead.

[@Fickji]

Ritual. Ouija boards you need the board (or a piece of paper with the letters and numbers) and a person to ask questions. EVP you need to press the record button and listen for something to speak. Both are inviting something in to talk. I think I remember a few superstitions and rituals surrounding mirrors as well. Like a Victorian ritual that had a woman standing in front of a mirror in the dark with a candle asking who she would fall in love with. On Halloween of course.

[@TevyaSmolka]

oh yeah i remember watching this movie long time ago growing up it was a interesting horror movie

Man I miss these reviews, do you plan on coming back and doing more or no?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

yes I do plan to do more, Just focusing on my degree currently.

[@samsquanch1996]

This is one of the more obscure 2000s horror films, it was a pretty big deal when it came out as it was basically Michael Keaton's return to the big screen. Nowadays if you ask people, hardly anyone knows about this film. This film sucks in my opinion, this film deserves to live in the realm of obscurity.

[@thunderforceninja5445]

Hell yeah, worth the wait as always 🖒

[@namitakao7747]

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

[@zacharyhagan818]

I'm at 2:00 in the video...It all has to do with priming. Show the audience what they should hear in the noise, and they will hear it. I don't know if you cover that later, just thought I'd drop this now.

[@cartooncritique6625]

3:30 Yeah, but Edison's not really known for his honesty. 4:35 A ghost movie with Michael Keaton? Beetlejuice better make an appearance, otherwise I'm going to riot! XD 23:30 Reminds me a little of a Scooby-Doo plot! XD

[@BlueLizardKing]

If you think that cops don't rule obvious murders as suicides/accidents all the time, I've got really bad news for you. On a happier note: I'm stoked you uploaded another movie review!

[@ryanybarra2479]

Most unbelievable part of this movie is the foreman hardhat clean and spotless... where is their vision board of orientation stickers stuck all over the hardhat. Construction workers covet their hard hat sticker work. The more stickers the more experience.

[@AndrewStonerock]

The comparison between evp and ouija is that sometimes when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back. I think that is literally the extent of the connection.

[@karenpojar2514]

Receiving a phone call from "a dead person" is not rare these days. Phone companies are supposed to wait three months before releasing the number to be reassigned, but they do it the day after being notified thinking no one will notice. Mother got a shock when she got a call from father two weeks after his funeral: turns out it was the AC repairman with his "new" phone number he got earlier that week. Fucking Verizon.
