Review of Pontypool (2009) by Henrik H — 07 Feb 2010

Pontypool is an enjoyable entrant into the flooded zombie genre. The strengths with this film exist in the way it does not focus on the zombies, or the visceral damage they are capable of.

I thought the central concept to the cause of the disaster was quite interesting, but the film became less than it should be near the end. Maybe keeping parts of the film more mysterious would have helped, and a possible cure seemed extraneous combined with an excuse for geriatric erotica.

I did like the way they chose to use the attractive, sweet girl as the vessel for blood-vomit explosion. Kudos.
