Conversationalists

FilimiE tshwaeditswe, e ntse e phela2000 ho isa 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

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
