fantastic movie, making use of the fear or the unknown and the "whats coming". Ive not been this creeped out and fascinated by a horror movie in ages. Camerawork and acting are tight and it kept me at the edge of the seat, wanting to find out more.

"Pontypool" is a tough one for me. This is yet another zombie movie...of sorts. I don't want to reveal why the zombie apocalypse occurs and I don't really think I bought into it entirely. I won't give it away but it was kind of interesting.

Upon watching this film for a second time I realized just how much it reminded me of the famous "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast Orson Welles aired in 1939. With just the medium of radio he successfully created an atmosphere of panic so real people listening (who had not caught the beginning wher More
