"A psychological thriller in which a deadly virus infects a small Ontario town." ~ Pontypool (2008)
HQ Thoughts: "I watched this and didn't like it the first time around, so I watched it again and found an appreciation for what the director was aiming to do. Since I have watched all types of horror for years, this didn't come quite as a shock to me as it did others who claim this movie is the best they've ever seen... Trust me it isn't BUT it's also entertaining enough to get through and enjoy for what it's worth.
Grant is a shady radio show host who apparently landed a gig at a station way out of norm for him. Their normal positive day goes awry when reports of protests of some sort were taking place in front of a Dr's office and murders begin to be carried out.
Amazingly, this entire movie takes place inside of the radio station with callers reporting what they saw and a complete narration happening from within. With minimal view of anything that is happening, the movie has a way of creating a creepy, tense atmosphere.
Ultimately, this is a zombie film sans the zombies eating brains, attacking and doing what they do best and the transference of the virus is what got me to thinking... ARE WE ALL ZOMBIES? lol"
