Witty and restrained but still taut and funny, this Pontypool is a different breed of low-budget zombie film.

Alarmingly intelligent and deeply disorienting, Pontypool plays as a radically different film upon subsequent viewings, its metaphor-filled dialogue seeming to shift and alter in meaning with every scene. Dec 1, 2010

This low-budget picture is a little too claustrophobic, and it grows tedious. The ominous, overbearing musical score tries but fails to jack up the tension. Dec 17, 2009

It's always an unexpected bonus in a zombie film to find the brains evident in the screenplay rather than splattered all over the scenery. Oct 16, 2009 | Full Review…

It's when our grasping for digestible concepts, clear causality, or anything resembling resolution is as thwarted as the characters' struggle to articulate or take action, that we're in the best position to absorb Pontypool's full impact. Mar 27, 2018 | Full Review…

Pontypool's very resonant, localized fright, is to make sense of - to define - the inexplicable. Aug 23, 2017 | Full Review…

Pontypool has an awful lot going for it. It's technically well made, well acted, creepy, funny, and weird. It's the kind of movie that, if it's seen in the right place and right time, can really have an effect on you. Jun 23, 2017 | Full Review…
