Grant Mazzy is a radio DJ whose 'character' has had him turfed out of the big city and banished to the back of beyond. Expecting his first day to be full of fairly mundane local news reporting, Mazzy soon finds himself in the thoes of panic as calls come flooding in about a possible viral infection spreading rapidly though its cause remains unknown... 'Pontypool' is an intelligent and provocative horror/thriller that doesn't for one second fail to entertain or engage. Highly recommended.
