Pontypool (2008)

- written August 11th, 2010

Summary: Morning Radio DJ Grant Mazzy is at work, just another start to the day in Ontario, Canada. But his city is gonna be the “Ground Zero” for a new epidemic which appears to be spread though words, though language. And as such it’ll be difficult if not impossible to survive the apocalypse.           Overall: I heard more than a few people really enjoyed the film and the viewing of this film was both different and amazing. And now I can jump on the same bandwagon. A very good film, that can be quite scary actually. The film works because we see little of the “zombies” but get most of our fear and apprehension from the action surrounding the radio station. The phone calls, the noises, the people nearby. The film works because it can be very frightening to think no one can survive this and that is what makes the film work so nicely. Great stuff here!!!!           Comparison: Dawn of the Dead meets 28 Days Later
