Trivialidades:

When Marty asks Abe if he thinks he is a super hero he refers to Abe as "Captain Tight Pants". Nathan Fillion (who plays Abe) was also referred to as "Captain Tight Pants" when he played Capt. Malcolm Reynolds in the TV series, _"Firefly: The Series" (2002)_ .

Errores:

Incorrectamente calificados como errores: The phrase "Tria mera" isn't proper greek, nor is it how "third day" is in the Bible. In greek "third day" is "triti mera". "Tria" means three and "triti" means third. The actual phrase from the bible is also "triti mera". Furthermore, if you try to turn "Tria mera" to numerical value using the greek numericals, you get 557 and not 666. Using the movie's numerical values, "triti mera" would have a value of 1074. However, "Tria Mera" does work if you take into account that the numerical values of letters are different for lowercase vs. uppercase.

Citas:

Henry Caine: [repeated Line] And on the third day... Christ rose again... but what about the devil?

Tria Mera – If You Save, You Must Kill

The family man Abe Dale (Nathan Fillion) is having lunch with his wife and son in a restaurant, when a man kills them in front of Abe and shots himself in the mouth. A couple of days later, the grieving Abe misses his family and commits suicide ingesting many pills at home, but is rescued by his friend Marty Bloom (Adrian Holmes) and saved by the doctors. His Near Death Experience makes him see white light in some people and to hear Electronic Voice Phenomena, i.e., manifestations of voices of ghosts or spirits through static on electronic devices. Sooner he discovers that the white light means that the person is going to die, and Abe saves three lives including his nurse Sherry Clarke (Katee Sackhoff). While watching to a video recorded by his son, Abe finds that the killer had save the lives of his wife and son three days before the murder. He investigates the incident and finds that when you save, you must kill; otherwise many innocents will die three days later.

I rented "White Noise 2: The Light" with a lower expectation, but as a fan of horror movies, I decided to give a chance to this film. What a great surprise! "White Noise 2: The Light" is scary, having a creepy story with characters well developed and with good explanations for the most different situations. The concept recalls the "Final Destination" franchise (if you cheat The Ripper, he will chase you) but with a different approach, through NDE and EVP. The actress Katee Sackhoff has a sweet and nice smile and I liked her character. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Luzes do Além" ("Lights from Beyond")
