Pontypool – Radio Zombie (2008)

Pontypool – Radio Zombie: Directed by Bruce McDonald. With Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle, Georgina Reilly, Hrant Alianak. A radio host interprets the possible outbreak of a deadly virus which infects the small Ontario town he is stationed in.

“I saw this film at the Toronto film festival, and I must say it was superb. Itu0026#39;s a zombie flick that isnu0026#39;t a zombie flick–it really breaks out of the genre. At times honestly hilarious and truly suspenseful at others, it was one of my top three films I saw at the festival. The IMDb synopsis doesnu0026#39;t do it justice. The main character loves to throw out references to linguistics and literary critics, and the u0026quot;transmissionu0026quot; of the virus fits perfectly. Stephen McHattie did a fantastic job, as did Lisa Houle and Georgina Reilly. Even though the u0026quot;weu0026#39;re stuck in a building surrounded by zombiesu0026quot; is a well-used setup, Pontypool is so different from most zombie movies that it doesnu0026#39;t feel hackneyed. Altogether, itu0026#39;s a totally fresh, exciting movie. If you can get your hands on it, watch it!”
