Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) is one of those people who just seems to have everything - his business is going well, he has a beautiful wife, and even his relationship with his ex-wife seems to be a good one. There just aren't that many people like him in this world. So one day when his current wife disappears, then turns up missing, and eventually is found down the river, it shatters his amazing life. But it gets worse.
Because not long after this happens, he notices someone watching his house, then watching his office, so he confronts him, and finds out about "EVP" - Electronic Voice Phenomena - where the disembodied spirits of those who have passed try and communicate with those who are still here.
And Johnathan believes that his wife is trying to communicate with him. But then the man who showed this to him dies, and he delves into the new world without being instructed in what is happening, and things start to get confusing. At first believing that he is seeing his wife, Jonathan then finds that he is seeing others, but not after they die - before they die. So he tries to save them, only to witness them die. This does not help his mental state. He thinks perhaps his wife is showing them to him so he can help them.
Finally he finds another woman who has been missing and is feared dead - just like his wife was - and it seems that she is the victim of the same person who found his wife, who appears to be possessed by some evil spirits that we've seen in some of the videos that Jonathan has been taking. It's actually a little odd. So he goes to try and rescue her, which he does - but he gets himself killed in the process. Not what you'd expect, to be sure. But not a very good ending, ether, because none of it was very well explained.
Rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and language.
