When disc jockey Grant Mazzy reports to his basement radio station in the Canadian town of Pontypool, he thinks it's just another day at work. But when he hears reports of a virus that turns people into zombies, Mazzy barricades himself in the radio booth and tries to figure out a way to warn his listeners about the virus and its unlikely mode of transmission.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic descent into paranoia where the greatest threat isn't visible, it spreads through language itself. Trapped in a radio booth as a contagion sweeps an Ontario town, you'll wrestle with what's real and what's being broadcast.
