When reports start coming in of violent events spreading through the area, a radio host along with two of his staff begin to realise that something is going seriously wrong in their sleepy Canadian town.

As chaos and violence rages outside, desperate callers continue to ring in and it soon becomes apparent that a virus is spreading through the town turning its victims into mindless zombies.

This is a great Indie movie with an unusual twist on the Zombie theme. There’s no blood and gore in this one though kids, but what it lacks in gratuitous violence it more than makes up for with an intelligent script, dark humour and an unusual and engaging plot.

 

Rating:  7.5/10

0 #1 numness 2012-02-29 04:41 I thought this movie was a diamond in the rough. it was a simple idea, a low budgeted intelligent movie about your mind filling in more of the blanks than your eyes seeing it. I went into this film with no expectations and I was very happily surprised. I rate this movie a 9/10. Oh and its Canadian to boot, Eh! Quote
