A winning combination of shuddery suspense and intelligent observations.

Laurie Anderson would be proud: language is a virus in [this] zombie(-esque) thriller set almost entirely within the walls of a basement radio station.

Its a mighty strange beast, an intellectual B-movie that offers equal parts semiotics and projectile gore.

Tightly scripted (Tony Burgess) and directed (Bruce McDonald), but Stephen McHattie's Mazzy is the star!

As a horror fan, this high-minded Talk Radio of the Living Dead left me as cold as a Pontypool winter.

For a while, this claustrophobic little horror movie is a dark little treat.

Alarmingly intelligent and deeply disorienting, Pontypool plays as a radically different film upon subsequent viewings, its metaphor-filled dialogue seeming to shift and alter in meaning with every scene.

This low-budget picture is a little too claustrophobic, and it grows tedious. The ominous, overbearing musical score tries but fails to jack up the tension.

If you're a devotee of the deranged mind of Canadian indie auteur Bruce McDonald, then I can just tell you that he's made a horror movie (kind of) and that Pontypool is it.

A horror flick that's all talk and (almost) no action? The risk pays off better than you'd think.

However shrewdly contrived to keep its budget low, Pontypool, set almost entirely in a basement radio station, is a zombie flick sans bite.

This cerebral horror movie plays Scrabble with the genre's cinematic lingo.
