Pontypool.

Pontypool.
What can you say about Pontypool? A small Canadian town infected randomly by a zombie virus carried not by blood, spit, air or water - but the English Language. Wow, that's damned odd. It's such a surreal, yet brilliant concept that you have to love it.
The film centres around Gant Mazzy, a radio DJ in the small town, alongside his producer, Sydney Briar and colleague Laurel-Ann Drummond.

Don't even waste your time.

Wow...what a waste...this could have been a totally killer idea. I mean it attacks at the source of everyone's basic need for communication but it was so poorly done...I basically wasted the two and a half hours of my life watching these idiots try to figure out what to do and what's happening. Then sat there confused but mostly pissed off. You are as clueless as the idiots leading the freak show. It's nothing but them trapped in the radio station everything is just chatter. No gore except for one completely forgettable scene. If you're the kind that just sits and enjoys watching people talk to be let down by one of the crappiest endings in the history of horror movies and trust me...there's tons out there...then watch it. But if not...then don't even give this movie a second glance forge...
