Pontypool is a 2008 Canadian horror film directed by Bruce McDonald. The movie is based on the novel "Pontypool Changes Everything" by Tony Burgess.
The story follows a radio host named Grant Mazzy who works at a small radio station in the town of Pontypool, Ontario. One day, Grant and his team start receiving reports of violent incidents happening in the town.
As they continue to broadcast, they realize that the violence is spreading through language. The virus is transmitted through words, turning people into mindless, violent killers.
Grant and his team must find a way to communicate without triggering the virus, all while trying to survive the chaos unfolding outside their studio.
Pontypool is a unique and thought-provoking take on the zombie genre, focusing on the power of language and communication.
