Pontypool (2008)
Director: Bruce McDonald
Writer: Tony Burgess (based off his novel)
A psychological thriller in which a deadly virus infects a small Ontario town.
Jon Says: A zombie film about language. Or, maybe a language film with zombies. Either way, I fucking love this movie! Two great performances (Stephen McHattie and Lisa Houle). The entire film takes place in a small town radio station as they keep getting reports about ... something happening in town.
