How was White Noise

For those who may have seen it, how was "White Noise"?

Is it scary? Creepy? Worth it?

I haven't seen this movie but I hate it because it should have been based on Don Delillo's book.

It was boring. There were a few moments that made me jump and then I felt foolish for being so manipulated.

But overall, pretty boring. It takes forever for anything to happen and when it does it's so-so. Michael Keaton seemed to have slept through his performance. It seemed like the movie was poorly edited.

Yeah but apart from the boredom and bad acting and poor editing was it any good?

I enjoyed the film, but the ending was a bit crap.

It's been roundly slammed by every critic that I've read so far, but I haven't seen it. Sounds like a 'wait for the video' movie.
