Pontypool was a huge letdown. Mchattie delivers a boring and cliche performance of an Don Imus/ Howard Stern type. The other actors in the film delivered mediocre to awful performances, one of the worst being the doctor character. The story itself is confusing and appears to have no real substance. Mcdonald recycled overused horror images and ideas but did it with an incredibly foolish and unbelievable twist. overall and awful, awful movie.
