Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew takes on Pontypool, the 2008 Canadian horror film directed by Bruce McDonald. Set almost entirely inside a small radio station during a rapidly escalating outbreak, the film follows radio host Grant Mazzy and his colleagues as they attempt to understand a mysterious infection spreading through the community. The catch is that the infection isn’t transmitted through a conventional bite or bodily fluid; it is connected to language itself. The crew digs into Pontypool’s unusual approach to the zombie genre, its reliance on sound and imagination, the claustrophobic setting, and Stephen McHattie’s central performance. They also discuss what makes the film’s strange premise work and why Pontypool remains such a distinctive piece of Canadian horror.
