This strange horror/thriller is coming to us from Canada. pontypoolIn the recent years we have witnessed an insurgency of great horror flicks from countries that usually do not make these kind of flicks. A phenomenal lead performance by Stephen McHattie who very much looks like Lance Henriksen really amazed me. He works on a radio, and suddenly all these reports of people behaving in a strange way flood the station. Soon things start to take more sinister form. There is a lot of suspense, but not that much gore. The main thing about this great movie is its script. Based on a book, this original and refreshing plot is one of few new Zombie flicks with good scripts. The whole vibe borrowed some of the atmosphere from noir and than mixed it with other elements that made a really good movie. Enjoy.

Director: Bruce McDonald

Cast: Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle, Georgina Reilly, Hrant Alianak, Rick Roberts

Rating: ★★★★★★★★½☆ 

Fun Stuff: One scene features Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash, a book featuring an ear worm or memetic virus that transfers itself through verbal information.
