Pontypool

The "live" video of the BBC's Nigel Healing playing on the computer has a moving progress indicator underneath, indicating that it's pre-recorded video being played and not a live feed.

PreludeTo start with let me explain that i am, in general, a huge fan of everything horror and horror related.... despite production or budget (seriously check my rating for Zombie Women Of Satin).

Pontpool is not your typical horror flick, ITS AN Intelligent High minded,atmospheric thriller as Metaphorical psychological work about advance futuristic Hybrid Frequency-warfare , Definitely original, intelligent, and compelling. It did well at building a sense of fear and dread without resorting to jump scares.

In the old days, people didn't had movies, they were reading books and imagine things they were reading. A good book gave your imagination a lot of fuel.

Without giving too much away, this movie depends on a plot premise that requires an extremely high level of willing suspension of disbelief. Other reviewers have commented on the scientific absurdity of this key element of the drama, and they're quite right.

This was a film that was on my list of films to check out and when I heard podcasts talking about it. The concept of this really intrigued me.

Cynical and sarcastic late night shock jock Grant Mazzy (a bracing and bravura performance by the always excellent Stephen McHattie) has his drab routine turned upside down after the outbreak of a bizarre virus causes a series of violent incidents in the small Ontario, Canada town of Pontypool. Director Bruce McDonald, working from an ingenious and original script by Tony Burgess, relates the riveting story at a brisk pace, does a masterful job of creating and sustaining a strong mood of mounting dread, and wrings plenty of nerve-wracking suspense from the claustrophobic radio station setting.

...so there are this and that many words that one need, do you understand,NEED in order to write a review about anything here on IMDb.

The first thing you'll notice is the horrifically incompetent sound editing. A lot of random volume changes - apparently unintentional.

Considering the COVID-19 isolation this might be one of the most fitting and original movies to watch right now. Pontypool examines the relationships between viral infections, media and ideology in a highly remarkable manner.
