Pontypool (film)


Pontypool is a 2008 horror film directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess, based on his novel Pontypool Changes Everything.

As the morning proceeds, Grants onair persona irritates Sydney. They get a report from their helicopter reporter Ken Loney which Sydney reveals to Grant is a man parked in a station wagon on a hill with sound effects mimicking a helicopter about a possible riot at the office of a Dr. Mendez. He describes a scene of chaos and carnage that results in numerous deaths. After Ken is unexpectedly cut off, the group tries to confirm his report, but their witnesses are disconnected before they can put them on the airwaves. Ken calls back and reports that he has found the infected son of a wellknown citizen nearby, who is mumbling to himself. Before Ken can hear what the son is saying, the call is again cut off, this time by a startling transmission of garbled French.The transmission is an instruction to remain indoors, not to use terms of endearment, phrases that conflict, or the English language. Pontypool is declared to be under quarantine. Ken then manages to call back, this time close enough for Grant and the women to hear the infected sons mumbling, which is nothing but Mommy in a childs voice. In confusion and disbelief, Grant tries to leave the station, but a horde of people attack, and Grant, Sydney, and LaurelAnn lock themselves in. Meanwhile, LaurelAnn begins demonstrating erratic behavior. She fixates on the word missing, repeating it over and over, then imitates the sound of a boiling kettle. Dr. Mendez enters the studio and Grant, Sydney, and Mendez lock themselves in Grants soundproof booth. ........
