White Noise is a 2005 supernatural horror film directed by Geoffrey Sax and starring Michael Keaton and Deborah Kara Unger.

During this visit, Jonathan is befriended by Sarah Tate, a woman who has also come to Raymond for his EVP work because her fiancé has recently died.

Jonathan seeks advice from a psychic and is warned that, while she takes measures to avoid hostile entities, EVP is an indiscriminate process that offers no such safeguards.

Afterward, while working with his EVP devices, Jonathan sees images of another person, a recently missing woman named Mary Freeman.

Just before film credits roll, the camera flashes to a screen where the image of Jonathan and his wife is visible in white noise static.

A closing intertitle reads, "Of the many thousands of documented EVP messages, approximately 1 in 12 have been overtly threatening in nature..." In May 2003, it was announced Michael Keaton was attached to star in the film with principal photography slated to begin in August of that year.

In 2008, an elaborate viral marketing campaign gave Paramount's found footage horror film Cloverfield a $40 million opening weekend, which remained the record for January until Ride Along in 2014.

In 2012 Paramount beat White Noise's first-weekend success with The Devil Inside, which took in $35 million despite a strongly negative reaction from critics and audiences.

If you look back at every first weekend, besides expanding titles, the only new release is usually one crappy horror movie," C. Robert Cargill of Ain't It Cool News told Hollywood.com in 2013.
