Conversationalists

FilimuWotenga matenda, akadali wamoyo2000 mpaka 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

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

Speaking French or Armenian protects, because only English is infected1

News broadcasts about the quarantine spread the infection further1

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