As much as the beginning of the film had promise - happily married couple are destroyed by the wife dying in an apparently tragic accident - the fact that the grieving husband was receiving messages from his dead wife through white noise (reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist) seemed like a suspenseful plot until we understand it is to help other people who are about to die.
I wanted his wife's communications to be about the exact nature of her own demise and that it had been far more sinister than it first appeared - which it was - but not in the way we want it to be. The fact that she was newly pregnant played out to virtually no significance.
Unfortunately, there are too many unanswered questions and loose ends that leave the viewer with an overwhelming sense of frustration.
I marked it down for being somewhat unsatisfied by it, while marking it up more for creating genuine fear and suspense.
