10 Zombie Movies Where Everyone Dies
2. Pontypool (2011)
A shock jock is shocked when his on-air show is suddenly interrupted by an unknown transmission warning them of the cause of why everyone in the town is beginning to violently turn on each other. In 2011’s Canadian horror Pontypool, we hear a lot more than what we see.
The town of Pontypool has been quarantined. The French transmission, once translated, instructs listeners to stay indoors and to avoid using the English language and other certain phrases. This is discovered to be the source of this strange virus, and all those who hear it are changed.
Grant discovers that by manipulating language you can control it and help anyone infected, even helping to reverse the symptoms altogether. However, the local authorities have different plans and decide to blow up the radio station to prevent any further spread. Later, it was confirmed by news reports that the quarantine was a failure, and the virus just kept on spreading.
The movie plays out like a bottle episode of a TV show and it’s a very creative way of telling a zombie-themed story, and one which you can imagine the apocalyptic nightmare that’s just outside those doors.
