Pontypool (2008)
8/10
Memerising
2 October 2018
If you haven't seen this film then watch it now.

A kind of zombie virus that turns people into insane monsters who want to bite their way inside people to hide, all unfolding in real time from to point of view of an alcoholic radio DJ live on air locked in his studio and not sure whether the callers and news feeds are playing a cruel trick on him... or if he is the one going insane.

Stephen McHattie is absolutely, absolutely mesmerising. He was born to play this role.

Only 8/10 because after a barn storming first two acts, the story wobbles a bit in the third and the resolution doesn't quite reach the same heights as the set up. Not that the third act is bad. Far from it. But the first two acts were pretty much a masterpiece.
