Quote
Shock jock Grant Mazzy has, once again, been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now the only job he can get is the early morning show at CLSY Radio in the small town of Pontypool which broadcasts from the basement of the small town’s only church. What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations, due to yet another massive snow storm, quickly turns deadly. Bizarre reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence. But there’s nothing coming in on the news wires. So… is this really happening?

Anyone else excited about this horror/thriller/zombie film? Supposed to be an interesting take on the whole zombie genre.

Saw the trailer a few days ago. I want to see this, the missus probably won't but I dig me a good spin on a zombie flick.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

The minute I saw the name I recognized the town and googled it. It's actually based off a Canadian town. Weird shit. That town is disgustingly small.

Movie seems pretty interesting too.

The Cell was audiovisual ass.

This is a zombie movie.

The original town isn't that much to speak of either.

I meant the Stephen King novel.  Which was a zombie book.

Imagine my surprise.

Netflix has this available for streaming currently... For the obvious low budgetness of the film it was darn good.

Thread necro to say I just saw this on Netflix and it was awesome.

For bonus points, I watched it in a darkened, empty, locked laundromat (waiting for my clothes to dry).  You know it was a good movie because I'm a little scared to walk to my car now on the off chance that somebody out there will start repeating a word over and over.
