  • One of my favorite movies. Glad people can still come up with totally unique stories.

  • das ist einer dieser Filme die man auf Englisch gesehen haben muss. Ich hatte noch die deutsche Untertitel an und ich fand den Film wirklich wirklich gut gemacht. Besonders sie Atmosphäre in die der Film spielt und die Stimme des Reporters bzw. des Hauptdarsteller finde ich einfach passen perfekt zusammen!

  • Good film was a bit slow but i enjoyed it anyone who doesnt just hasnt got an good attention span or imagination...

  • This was a scary movie... for about the first half of it. First time watching this I was honestly on the edge of my seat. But as soon as they even brought up the whole. "Virus in words" Thing, it just stopped being scary and turned into something rather silly. Its OK, but not great.

  • 92 MINUTES I WILL NEVER GET BACK

  • @Tupacexpert1

    Are you saying the movie was bad...?

  • @papoj1PVR No 92 minutes i will never get back means I thought the movie was awesome OO _

  • great movie!

  • Sample...sample...sample...sam­ple...

  • I live in Belgium, Dutch speaking part. I have always known that "bad French" would some day save my life too!

  • This movie is amazing. One of my favorites.

  • Kill me.

  • @dearmegan11

    Later.

  • This movie scared the crap out of me.

  • Best movie I've ever seen in a long time.

  • Fucking awesome movie.

  • What a Bad, Stupid & Retarded waste of time this movie is !

  • I can't be the only one that thinks this trailer is shit.

  • @geemevilela Yeah I thought so too. This trailer is awful

  • @geemevilela no you're not... seeing this trailer doesn't make me want to watch the movie at all xD

  • very unusual, but thats what makes this flick special, I loved it but I guess the storyline especially the ending is not for everyone.

  • YOU HAVE TO STOP MAKING SENSE! STOP MAKING SENSE!

  • Quite possibly the most intelligent zombie film ever made. Anyone with any kind of knowledge on movies can tell that this one didn't have the highest in production value, but once the story pulls you in all of that is instantly forgivable. The great thing about this film is the mystery behind all of the questions left unanswered. An all-around smart and thought-provoking indie thriller/horror. Highly recommended to those who wish for a little more depth in their "scary" movies.

  • Always knew the zombie apocalypse would start in ponty lol.

  • I saw this last night, wasn't that great. It started off slow and the movie was kinda slow. Maybe like 3 stars

  • Did anyone else keep watching after the credits? There was a black and white scene with the man and woman.

    WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SCENE ABOUT?

    Were they just trying to say they were still alive after the bomb went off?

  • @NYBuildings I watched the credits so I could listen to all of the audio snippets about the incident, and was just as surprised and perplexed by that scene as you were.

    My initial take on that scene was that it was just sort of an inside joke between the cast and crew that the director just threw in there for the hell of it.

    But Wikipedia says that it might have been suggesting that they either made it out of Pontypool alive or "in spirit."

    Maybe it's their version of Heaven? Who knows.

  • ontario canada...Resident Evil 6 (the game) will take place there :D

  • @FCChelsea2010 No it isn't.

  • @iamcenok yes it is

  • @FCChelsea2010 The leaked teaser is fake, don't get your hopes up.

  • holy shit worst trailer ever for one of my favourite zombie movies take my advice people watch it :P

    the trailer however makes it a turnoff

  • trailer was so promising and I just laughed at the movie, its worst survival\zombie\virus movie I have seen ever.

    Kill is Kiss...and sausage is suckage and etc. - how is that supposed to heal anyone ? its stupid

    and how the word just gets magicaly infected, ITS THE SAME WORD, its not like SIgnal inside the radio broadcast is infected by some kind of Frequency\Virus/.

    anyone can explain this to me ? I really enjoyed first 40 minutes of this movie and then it went downhill.

  • @Chaostos are you kidding me? it actually makes so much sense that you have got be either stupid or retarded. take english in college and you can see the point of it....

  • @smashtasmism

    so instead of explaining such a simple movie you go angry ?

  • @Chaostos well clearly you started bashing the movie soo?

  • @smashtasmism

    ofcourse, if the movie is stupid I just say so. Its not like Im calling you a retard for liking this crap so why the hate ?

  • @Chaostos sorry my explaination will be short and full of mistakes, but thats because im shit drunk:

    you have to "translate" the movie into our society... just look at our language and how fucked up it is. more and more, we simplify things, and try to avoid difficult expressions and thats why theres no real goethe anymore... the movies shows you, how some simple words like meme or 4chan ^^ or lol or the whole internetshit "infects" and changes our language. sorry, cant write more.. :/

  • @getchoo2fakie

    thats an interesting take on the plot man, thank you. I dont think its the idea behind the movie, and for me this movie is still confusing and meaningless, but I see your point about our world.

    thanks !

  • @Chaostos The thing is, he doesn't know if what he's doing is working at all.

  • @RadioactiveMicrobe

    I just dont get how the same words they are using makes anyone go crazy.

    its just words. There is no explanation but I doubt there would be one, its not like anyone gets hypnotized, some sort of alien "life" form in signal, or ghosts coming from radios or work of the devil.

    so the basic plot of the movie for me is ..empty. its just words and I see no way words would affect everyone without any reason. And Im talking about what (and How\Why) is happening in the movie.

  • @Chaostos Honestly, this movie was incredible for the first 40 minutes. I think the "Explanation" ruined it a bit. I agree.

  • I like how this movie played with the canadian bilingualism, i thought that was interesting but this film kinda sucked real bad........ Lame and boring with just a dash of interesting moments.

  • sydney briar is alive

  • The movie is great because it is not an American movie. It lacks black people, stupid conversation, stereotypes and so on. The acting is superb!

  • @Szederp lol what real good movies ever has black people in it

  • @dazeguy513 None that I know of...

  • Btw that "Laurel-Ann"... that's something nice!

  • @MrVegasVideos Yes. They got killed by a big gay dandelion. No, serious: a good movie! Watched it this morning and there was a large part of the movie I was going along with it. It starts rather slow thou.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, this trailer sucks balls. Just watch the film.

  • Good is elephant

  • u know its was good it was good it was good good means go shit shit means go love shit means go love im scared cuz i vthink the virus is in az now opps oi gave wayua hte ovime movie means youtube youtube means movie

  • Couple of interesting tidbits (I think)... according to the screen writer (and author of the book), the movie is strongly desired to be a trilogy. No, not much gore, this first was supposed to capture the feeling of insanity from the book (which is straight insane). The second would be capturing the majority of the mayhem about town while the events of the first happen. So... if you like this, tell everybody. See if we can't see what he does with the "gory, in town" version!

  • I live in Pontypool. Its a place in south wales lol

  • @WardyProductions run!!!

  • @WardyProductions this was shot in Pontypool, Ontario Canada. It's a Canadian film

  • @WardyProductions I am sorry for the tragedy. Your loved ones will not be forgotten.

  • @WardyProductions if i was a betting man, i'd put my money on Pontypool, Ontario, Canada more than south whales,for this one.

  • @FahQposeurfag Really?????? lol I know it's in Canada. Btw the Pontypool in Canada was named after the Pontypool in UK Wales when the settlers moved to Canada from Pontypool Wales.

  • @WardyProductions are you in the infected zone ?

  • @WardyProductions

    There's one in Canada and one in the UK too...they're multiplying!

  • I loved it. Refreshing approach to the zombie genre.

    This is NOT your regular zombie flick though. Just as a warning to ppl who may be considering watching it there's like 15 minutes of actual zombie footage throughout the entire film. And it's not all that gory either.

    You have been warned.

  • lol i watched this and didnt realize it was a zombie film til like the end!

  • Who disliked this movie? Ha, it was amazing!

  • @mikewantsahug A guy who understood it, and now his infected with the message. LOL :-D

  • Excellent movie, but the trailer doesn't do it much justice--makes it look like every other horror movie that's come out in the past several years. Pontypool doesn't have any of the cheap shock effects that have come to dominate (and ruin) mainstream horror. It's actually *scary*, not just frenetic and loud.

  • why did the doctor know soo much about it and why did he seem infected after wards but then ran away through that silly flap hole he came in . was he infected or not?? cause he started to act it by repeating the word "breath" and then talking jibberish which is what infected people did . doesnt makeeeee sense!!! . and this could of been an ok movie but writers and directors didnt know what they were doing

  • @GoldXrose It was quite obvious... the doctor knew so much because he was related to the infection, the first attack was at his work so probably he is responsable somehow, and he started to get infected, but because he was latino he discovered that only english was infected and that gibberish you say it was actually spanish or portuguese, the silly flap hole thing was he sacrifacing himself to help the other two survivors, because he felt guilty about being part of the making of the infection

  • @blakscull i know he was speaking in another lanuage but it was done like he was infected but i know he did it to stop getting more infected but the flap hole is still stupid! and the movie itself could of been good but it was crap !!

  • @GoldXrose Quoting myself "the silly flap hole thing was he sacrifacing himself to help the other two survivors, because he felt guilty about being part of the making of the infection" how is that stupid? and the movie was good, really good, different and scary on its own way, if you dont get the movie thats a nother thing

  • @blakscull oh dear here we go im saying the flap hole was silly being there thats wot i meant it was like insted of a window they thought a giant cat flap wud be better well im sorry it just looked stupid , and i dont have to like the movie just becuse u sed it was " good and scary " , we dont all have to like the same movies

  • @GoldXrose it wasnt a cat flap... it was a basement window that opened like a flap, but hard. And yeah, you dont have to like it, but you cant say its crap or bad, you could say "i dont like if, its boring to me and i dont get it" but you cant say its bad when it has good actors, good sound, good story, good quality and has great reviews, also theres only 1 dislike in here... so yeah.

  • @GoldXrose

    He knew so much presumably because people were visiting his office in a confused state. The little bit about prescription fraud was a red herring to keep the movie teetering on a normal/weird tightrope. Because he had so many similar patients, he was then able to tell the people who hadn't seen it (radio workers) more about it.

  • ohh and the ending is very confusing and daft

  • and through the movie i felt like for some of it erm is it me or am i missing the story of it  cause it ididnt make sense alot of it . and who was the scared woman at the begginnning outside radio man's car then she vanished what was with that?????? even he didnt know

  • @GoldXrose

    That was the first infected Grant saw, nothing more. Repeating Grant's words, just like they all did. It wasn't supposed to make sense til later :)

  • this is a daft movie they had a ok idea but the way they did it and the movie it self became boring it had a slow confusing build up , it wasnt very good . the idea of being in a radio station for the whole time was interesting in a way . im left confused about the doctor and the foreign over voice that went through to them . and when they themselves spoke french most of the time there was no subtitles so we had to guess wot they were saying they only did like subs for 2 words

  • this movie made me feel i was high....like i was smoking weed or something..the plot is original, fresh, new, funny and utterly and completely stupid! mediocre direction, mediocre acting, the lack of budget is unavoidably obvious and restricts the potential of the movie greatly...there are so many independent, low budget and GOOD horror movies out there that it is a shame that just 'an idea of a movie' earns such hype...

  • looks very heavy and hammed up.

    visually looks flat/ ott

    i know its just the trailer but i just here and i didn't feel anything

    best wishes

  • Talk about a trailer that has very little to do with the actual movie.

  • "Kill Me..."

    The movie killed my soul with the way it ended...

  • kill is kiss

  • am I the only on who didnt really get what it was about?

  • is this a modern history of pontypool south wales , cos i it is it seems pretty accurate

  • @sleyer50

    Same here!

    Script, cast & acting were superb! Feels very real! Highest level of suspense since "Blair Witch Project", hadn't been more sucked into a story since "Butterfly Effect"!

    Outstanding production!!! Highly recommendable!!

  • Sidney Briar is alive.

  • Kill is Kiss.

  • I live a couple of hours from pontypool! and this movie was good

  • Excellent film de zombie qui sort des senties habituels du genre par son originalité et la non utilisation des codes habituels de ce genre de film (que j'adore aussi). J'en sors avec un avis très favorable pour ce huit clos. Mention très bien.

  • wait so doesn't this film contain any gore?

  • this movie gonna be amazing with poppers¡¡

  • zombie films makes me alive....once again....

  • top film

  • I LOVE ZOMBIE FILMS

  • @MrGangsterwolf What is your position on turtles?

  • This trailer confused me..

  • "Kill is kiss, kill is kiss!"

  • "Don't translate this message...just listen to me"

    Ok i'm scared now

  • at 0:45 it sounds like, mtv.com

  • when Ken is talking about the zombie boy with no hands, and he says it sounds like a baby is crying inside him....did the zombie eat the baby whole and the baby is ACTUALLY crying inside his stomach??! 0_o that is messed up

  • @silverroses011 LOL i think its just cuz he the boy wit no hands heard a baby crying and was mimicking it.. like how they just say what they hear.. haha i think. that would be messed up if he ate a baby.. lol never thot of it that way:P

    it's not even American it's Canadian, if you want some scary shit watch some Japanese films they'll have you shitting out of your mouth!

    How would you like that!!! xD hahaha

  • @tandilboy78

    si se veo uno, no lo vistes tonto!

    tu culpa!

    Es un buena pelicula, vela!

  • Pelicula de zombie y no aparece un puto zombie en el 1:35 que dura el trailer....me imagino lo que sera la pelicula.

  • *SPOILER WARNING*

    The Call OF Duty Tactical Nuke at the end is priceless...

  • awful awful awful film.

  • fucking americans and their stupid mess fucking movies that doesnt to scare to anyone... fuckers suckers...

  • @nandolov It's a Canadian film......

  • @nandolov

    The movie was not made in or for Americans.  Who's the fucking sucker, bright boy?

  • @hotheadpaisen it was made for every one, man

  • this movie was weird.

  • this movie sucked! I read the description and it said zombie and I looked at when it was made and it said 2008 and it got more then 2 stars so I thought it was gonna be good but it wasn't. people turning mad are not zombies... don't watch this movie, description lies

  • @vivalaresistanc

    You're an idiot.

  • @vivalaresistanc i know im like i can go for a gory movie i watch it for 30 minutes than i think big waiste of money *_*

  • @vivalaresistanc

    You're still an idiot.

  • @vivalaresistanc : I know but feel differently. I watched it and was somewhat glad that that it wasn't zombies, but you have to admit it a great phycological horror film. This is most diffentlly not a zomby movie. You have to be really into phycological horror to like it.

  • Omg these are the same people that made the human centipede D:  But this movie is still good

  • Watched half of the movie already, I have no idea what's happening in this movie, but I just can't stop watching it.

  • IM WATCHING THIS WRITE NOW

    

  • The premise was great, the execution (especially the ending) was garbage.

  • I would very much like to see this.

  • True horror does not need to be splattered in blood and guts, if that's what you want there are thousands of cheap thrill films out there. the magic in Pontypool is how it makes you feel claustrophobic and helpless as unspeakable, unexplainable and unimaginable horrors happen around you. If you really want to enjoy Pontypool, watch it on your laptop locked in your closet with the lights out and the AC on in full blast. then you'll get it.

    Bravo Pontypool!!!!

  • @ashtoncruz: brovo, Just what needs to be said. Pontypool is ture horror becouse it plays with the head. The great unknown of the whole movie, taking place in just one place, and the only action that you really see it in you mind, when you imagination turns the torifiing audio into mental pictures. Ponty pool is ture horror it need not blood and gusts to scare the hell out of you. -Mazermindful-

  • Movie was terrible, the ending was terrible movie was just garbage

  • 'Please do not translate this message'..... oh shit.

  • Looks a lot like the premise from the novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, which itself was a lot like Neuromancer, but funny and more modern-ish. The big difference was that was more cyber-punk and this is more zombie. Meh.

  • I didn't like it, was quite boring, the whole movie was just pretty much talking, and really wierd

  • This movie was so... original! I actually really liked it! Not very scary, but just... wow!

  • HATED THIS FILM! WAS NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT SCARY AND I MEAN AN INFECTION SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE English LANGUAGE? WHAT THE FUCK 2/10

  • @kylieorhooziersr0ck thanks for the spoilers

    derp

  • @QQBistro Haha,im glad. Its a shit film.

  • i have to watch it!

  • How Burroughs.

  • I realy liked that movie : -D

  • do not translate this message... just listen to me...

  • Probably the tautest drama, the scariest and disturbingly funny movie I have seen in ages.I cannot praise it enough.

  • this movie was a giant mindfuck

  • It's a different take on the zombie genre that's been done to death.

    I enjoyed it. Very different and very clever.

  • are they zombies or not

  • @zzdre well kinda. but it says thatyou have to understand the word to be infected so people try to say it alot out of instinct (cause when you say a word alot you start to realize that it starts to just become a word, no meaning) so the people in the movie try to give words no meaning, simply just not making sense and swithing words meanings.

  • @zzdre : agreed
