Preview: Pontypool (2009)

Synopsis:

A zombie film about a quarantine and the local disc jockey who tries to assure everyone it will be all right while taking precautions.

• Poster: C-

Review:

What exactly is this poster piecing itself together from? It certainly doesn't seem to have any focus and other than trying to evoke horrific emotions in an effort to appeal to slasher audiences, it doesn't have any panache or import.

• Trailer: C

Review:

With nary a zombie in sight, producers of zombie features are restoring to rather questionable methods of selling their films of late. After the box office failure of Qarantine, I'm surprised they made this trailer feel so much like the other.

Oscar Prospects:

None

Release Date:

• May 29, 2009
