Review – Pontypool

Coincidentally, this is the second movie in a row I’ve watched about people trapped in a radio station besieged by zombies. This one’s an IFC production, which makes it a bit more upscale than Dead Air. Plus it has a weird twist: the zombification agent is transmitted via the English language. This gives the filmmakers the chance to do all kinds of strange things with the plot, such as the zombies’ creepy tendency to repeat whatever they hear. Indie innovations notwithstanding, however, this is still mostly just another small-group-of-humans-vs-rampaging-zombies movie. Mildly amusing
