Conversationalists

FilmBesmet, nog lewend2000 tot 2009

Pontypool takes place in a small-town Ontario radio station while a language-borne infection spreads outside. Its director insisted the victims are not zombies but conversationalists. The approach was inspired by Orson Welles's War of the Worlds broadcast.1

Wat die bronne sê

1

Stage one: the victim gets stuck repeating a word, often a term of endearment1

2

Stage two: speech becomes scrambled; stage three: the victim tries to chew through another person's mouth1

3

Speaking French or Armenian protects, because only English is infected1

4

Telling a victim that kill now means kiss makes her symptoms subside1

5

News broadcasts about the quarantine spread the infection further1

6

Based on Tony Burgess's 1995 novel Pontypool Changes Everything and also produced as a radio play1
