This is a clever and well-acted movie playing on IFC On Demand. Basically set in a Canadian radio station station in a small town. Reports of strange goings on from listeners. The ending may be a bit ambiguous, but overall a nicely done, low-key horror flick with social commentary on the media, role of language and post-9/11 "zombies."

I have been enjoying this movie for years now. Glad to see someone else is as well. It's a well-acted, interesting take on viral outbreak and zombie survival horror films. It's really cool.


If you like minimalist horror where there's basically one or two set pieces and that's it like I do, you will love Pontypool.

I've been looking to watch this for years now, but Netflix still doesn't carry it and I'm not sure I want to do a blind buy, but I just might have to!
