Today is Wednesday, and Wednesdays are when I talk about films that few people know about but deserve a greater audience due to their greatness. Today I come to you with an independent Canadian zombie film, Pontypool. I knew very little about this gem going in which was nice. It is a very simple story, yet incredibly intelligent, well written and beautifully acted. It’s hard these days to make a zombie film feel fresh, or even scary for that matter. Pontypool succeeds in both, mostly due to its attention to characters. I implore you to support this film. Movies like this prove that even in the toilet bowl of summer, you can still roll up you sleeve and reach down past the Transformers and Terminators and find a film worth leaving the house for.

Much love
Travis
