Viewing Notes
And to join the unnoticed is another indie horror Pontypool that only made its way around the ‘09 festival circuit. Not quite as good as some of the hype made it out to be it’s still a good, albeit different, take on the post-apocalypse times all from one set piece: a radio station. I’d like to say this is a fresh approach to the genre but only half works. Worth a look.
