Pontypool (2009)
6.5/10
An entertaining effort at a largely 'radio take' on the zombie genre. I'm a firm believer you don't have to see everything. There was some good "Talk Radio 1988" tension created by the direction. Still, I was much more on the edge of my seat with trepidation for Talk Radio than Pontypool. I think horror fans would like Talk Radio better.
I think Pontypool had a good start, good first half, it was building... but for me the last half was like air slowing escaping a balloon.

Past the mid-mark, not much of anything interesting was done with english virus. I thought that was a great concept. Seems like there were so many creative, scary & funny things that could have been done with that. To me the last half had no tension, scares or surprises.
