Author: crossbow0106 from United States

This horror film is about a small town called Pontypool in Northern Ontario Canada which appears to be over run with strange happenings. The setting for most of the film is the local radio station where whiskey drinking radio personality Grant Mazzy (a very good Stephen McHattie) has to keep it all together while things that he, his producer and engineer do not seem to understand. Although a low budget film, it succeeds by carefully building the suspense of what appears to be happening outside. If you like psychological horror films, this film is very good, it keeps your interest. Of course, this being a horror film means you may be scared. If you can take it, check this film out.
