      (January 7, 2010)

      (January 7, 2010) Wow, the most depressing movie I've seen this year! When the film was released, several friends once strongly recommended it, saying that they had never seen such a "zombie-like film" before. Sure enough, this script was really not covered, it was completely an anti-type boring film.
      From the beginning to the end, the filming location of this horror film is only concentrated in a live broadcast room. Like "The Signal", the sound has replaced the real virus as the...

      "Pengdi Pond": dull and reserved

      A low-budget thriller is not even a horror movie, because there are few zombies and not enough blood. The whole thing was dull, 4 people, one radio station, and several rooms. The performance lasted for an hour and a half. In fact, the first half hour was completely meaningless. It was all dialogue, and deleting it would not affect the whole film. Pentecost is a French-speaking Canadian village where many people turned into zombies and attacked others. After the fourth person...

      Small production, good script, big surprise!

      Spoilers below! Be careful!

      This film is unexpectedly good-looking. I thought it was a big production at first, but the whole scene basically never left the underground radio station. The actors only have three or two cats. The DJ is the highlight of the whole film. All the acting skills and stories The mobilization of the plot depends on his performance. I can't see the weird virus infected person or the disgusting picture, but through the sound of the program hosted by the DJ and...

      Zombie viruses have strange reasons, but too much dialogue to drive the plot is too boring

      In the small town of Pontypool, Canada, a virus spread by language has occurred, and the infected people have become cannibal zombies. A radio presenter discovers the solution and saves the town.
      The story of the film basically takes place in a radio studio. The storyline is developed through the dialogue between the show host and the outside world and the narration of the people who enter the studio. There is only a picture of zombies breaking into the radio station in the back, but they...

      Great, I mean great, as an extremely low-budget zombie movie, it suddenly adds depth. In the long-term stagnation of the horror film market, although this film is weak, its extremely ingenious theoretical logic makes people's eyes shine. This far-fetched is forgivable. (Forgiveness doesn't make it perfect, all aspects considered, four and a half stars) oh, baby, kill is kiss kill is kiss kill is kiss...

      The best creative of the year. A small-budget movie with one scene can actually be so exciting for a female second like KS... The studio glass is comparable to bulletproof glass... There's still 30 minutes of foreplay, isn't it too...
