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.
