Pontypool's Puzzles Pleasingly,
By Levack Piper (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pontypool (DVD)
Stephen McHattie has a great central role as a veteran 'Johnny Fever-like' dee-jay in Pontypool; a small Central Ontario town besieged by some unknown terror. The claustrophobic setting of a radio station located in the basement of a church where there are no windows puts the viewer in the same shoes as the three principal cast members. Kudos to McDonald for bringing this suspenseful Tony Burgess novel to the screen and proving that low budget filmmaking can triumph over the blockbusters as long as you trust your audience's imagination. Only quibble for me is that the pay-off of the terrific set-up is a little disappointing and ambiguous. Still a worthwhile flick to check out late in the evening.

The title says it all. A very fine "original" take on the original novel premise. Definitely the TALK RADIO of HORROR!....

A masterclass in the simple becoming profound.,

This review is from: Pontypool (DVD)
I watched this movie on a plane back from Toronto and I've got to say I thought it was wonderful. Stephen McHattie's brooding and caustic dj is a joy to behold and the simple and skilled management of the tension build and film direction really impressed me. I loved the end too but I won't spoil. What I would say is if you like mindless gore, go see Hannah Montana, if you want grace, charm, wit, creativity and the odd body go see Pontypool, (my mother's birthplace, by the way, in South Wales where we do have zombies every Friday and Saturday night!)PS The other reviewer makes good point too.
