Rated: NR
Director: Bruce McDonald
Writer: Tony Burgess
Genre: Horror | Thriller
Plot: "The film is set in a radio station in Pontypool where one day the morning team starts taking reports of extreme, bloody incidents of violence occurring in town. As the story unfolds, the radio staff soon realizes the violence that is ripping society apart is due to a virus being spread through the English language. That in turn poses a problem for a yappy radio jock and his staff holed up in the broadcast booth housed in the basement of the town's abandoned church as a slaughter rages beyond its walls. -Horror_Fan01
Pontypool was adapted from the novel Pontypool Changes Everything by Tony Burgess, who also wrote the screenplay. The story is about "Shock jock" Grant Mazzy who has, once again, been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now works at the only job he could get hosting the early morning show at CLSY Radio in Pontypool Ontario, which broadcasts from the basement of the small town's only church. What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations due to yet another massive snow storm, things quickly turn deadly when reports of people having bizarre seizures, developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence start piling in. Before long, Grant and the small staff at CLSY find themselves trapped in the radio station as they discover that this insane behaviour taking over the town is actually a deadly virus being spread through the English language itself. Do they stay on the air in the hopes of being rescued or, are they in fact providing the virus with its ultimate leap over the airwaves and into the world?"
good movie, however the budget was probably quite low seeing as 95% of the movie is inside that one buildling.

Basically words 'infect' people. Certain phrases can get into a person's mind and then as they keep rumbling over it in their minds it enrages them and turns them into...well rage zombies without the dieing part.

@04hday the movie is a mystery that unravles threw it, they cant really give a good trailer without spoiling it, watch it, i loved it. It makes me wonder why movies like this dont hit the big screen, that are well thought out and different. Yet overused garbage is put out on it all the time.
