Pontypool is the story of a radio host and his crew that hear of an outbreak of a virus or some sort of mass hysteria within the town of Pontypool. Locked up inside the station they keep on getting reports of people turning violent and killing one another.
The movie itself was shot on a relatively low budget, though you would not seem to notice as it is very professionally shot. The acting I felt was really good for the first half though as the tension rose (and by god it was tense as a piano wire!) the acting started to falter.
I need to read the book, which I have a copy on the way. Maybe it will also make a bit of sense as the film seemed to have a couple of odd bits.
Overall I enjoyed this, it had me on edge for most of the film, unluckily some of the acting later on took away the dread factor for me.
I give this a 6-10
