Then, it kind of melts into a sloppiness of half-baked intellect and genre conventions. Even so, it still remains interesting throughout. Definitely worth a watch for some fresh ideas, great pacing, and solid performances.
We are watching this right now, because of your post :p

We're about halfway into it, and I have to ask you if you've seen 'Dead Air' (with Bill Mosely)...We watched Dead Air last week, and so far it is extremely similar to Pontypool...Honestly, I like Dead Air more, so far...If you haven't watched it, check it out.
