Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.

fresh:
For a while, this claustrophobic little horror movie is a dark little treat.
– Stephen Whitty,

rotten:
However shrewdly contrived to keep its budget low, Pontypool, set almost entirely in a basement radio station, is a zombie flick sans bite.

fresh:
This cerebral horror movie plays Scrabble with the genre's cinematic lingo.

rotten:
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.
