Pontypool

This was one of my favourite films of the festival.   It's a fun, arty, cerebral zombie film from Canadian Bruce McDonald.  Adapted from a book, but I would have guessed it was from a play, as the entire film takes place in a dingy radio station in a church basement in a small town in the Kawarthas.   Great performances by the two main cast members - Stephen McHattie and Lisa Houle - and particularly McHattie as Grant Mazzy, a jaded old DJ who used to work in the big city but got in the face of too many producers.  

This screenplay is clever and provocative, and the film has tons of low budget style and creativity.  It's all abut the plot in this film, so I'll leave my synopsis at that.   See it if you get the chance.....highly recommended.
