Negative Positive
Title: Unique non-zombie zombie film.
Review: Stephen McHattie excels in this "certain English words are a virus" movie. As a hard drinking recently demoted shock jock now working for a tiny talk radio station in Pontypool, Ontario, some callers start sounding a mite odd. Then their "chopper" goes down. It can and does only get worse from there. Really gets the claustrophobia going and a nice original idea. The movie is a low budget one room play. The BD also has a good commentary track with the writer, producer and director all sitting around talking about both this film and their aspirations for two more, which I don't think is gonna happen. There's also a 58 min radio play on the disc. But no subtitles. There are a few scenes where I'd like to know what was said but the off camera words are too muddled for any sound system to pick up. Too bad. It's the only negative thing I could say about this disc. Watch past the end credits for a great scene. 8/10
