Pontypool
Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle, Georgina Reilly, Hrant Alianak, Rick Roberts
Mind your language, there are bloodthirsty zombies present.
When a deadly virus breaks out in a small Ontario town, it falls to local radio DJ Grant Mazzy to determine the cause and find the cure. Loosely based on Tony Burgess’ novel Pontypool Changes Everything and featuring a charismatic central performance by Stephen McHattie (Watchmen), this ingenious twist on the classic zombie theme pulls no punches, delivering the requisite genre shocks and horrors whilst maintaining a wicked sense of humour throughout.
