The story of the fictional film revolves around a vast array of horrific situations, in the small town of Pontipol in Ontario. The events begin when the radio announcer Grant Mazazi talks to a woman through the radio, but strange things happen from this woman, she hesitates a lot of blood and then closes the line. The announcer discovers that this is a dangerous virus that destroys people.
If you're a devotee of the deranged mind of Canadian indie auteur Bruce McDonald, then I can just tell you that he's made a horror movie (kind of) and that Pontypool is it.
Laurie Anderson would be proud: language is a virus in [this] zombie(-esque) thriller set almost entirely within the walls of a basement radio station.
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.

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.
