Pontypool (2008)

In 7 words or less: If kiss is kill, then kill me...

Best bits? The slowly building tension and the realisation by the radio staff that what's happening is not a hoax. Mazzy trying to get Sydney to unlearn her infected word is tense and humorous, with a sexy twist (If you think the Rock-Tortoise, Mazzy is sexy?). It's also worth noting the 35mm Black and White sequence that pops up in the middle of the movie, accompanied by a sharp script (as is the rest of the film).

Did it make you think thoughts? Yes, that the understanding of language and the working of the brain scares the bejesus out of me; The actors convincingly portray the frustration of confusion. I also find this extremely cozy, a great winter watch.

Would you watch it again? Yes I would, Slumpy!... Yes I would...

Rating (out of 100%): 86% This is how I want all my horror; Chock full of tasty new ideas!
