Dead Air

Really boring and poorly written zombie flick, the failure lies primarily in the concept. The majority of the movie is people talking about zombies rather than any zombie action. The screen time that the zombies actually get isn't that bad--all five minutes of it. That combined with low production values, a horrible script and bad acting makes this a pass.

The story is pretty much like Pontypool, although it turns out different. Preferred Pontypool...

Like a bad more literal version of Pontypool

I think I would've preferred it go down the Pontypool route of not showing what's happening outside the station. The zombie effects aren't that great, the acting is all over the place and it's just pretty dull at times. For a film that really needs to be character driven, the characters aren't that well fleshed out or interesting.

A weird twist on the zombie film. No pacing as the film has high spots of action followed by slow periods of boredom. But still is well worth watching.

New 'Pontypool'?

Painfully low-budget at times, but an interesting spin on the 'virus' & 'zombie' sub-genres. Pontypool still does it better.
