As a substitute, proper because the movie begins to get actually thrilling, we reduce to a title card that reads “9 days later” and the household is solely allowed to go house and resume life as regular, like your entire first hour of the film by no means occurred.
This abrupt change in tempo and story gave me whiplash, nevertheless it doesn’t finish there. Within the latter half of White Noise, Babette joins some form of weird experimental drug trial, with a creepy man named Mr. Grey who appears to have been pulled instantly from Jack’s deranged hallucinations.
After monitoring down Mr. Grey at a seedy lodge, Jack shoots him, solely to then give up his still-loaded gun, providing Grey a chance to shoot each Jack and Babette.
Then, the three of them change into quick pals whereas tending to their wounds, and I swear to god I’m not making this up, attend a hospital run by a gaggle of atheist German nuns.
White Noise finally concludes with an ill-advised dance quantity that feels prefer it was created by some form of poorly-constructed synthetic intelligence, ending the movie on a very baffling be aware.
