15 Horror movies not enough people talk about

7) Pontypool (2008)

Trending

Pontypool is set in a small-town radio station where DJ Grant Mazzy broadcasts during a sudden outbreak. The best part is its concept—words, not bites, spread the virus, turning people into violent, mindless attackers. The characters scramble to figure out how to “cure” infected people by confusing language. In the end, Grant and his producer try to create nonsense phrases to neutralize the virus, but their fate is left unclear as the screen cuts to black. It didn’t get much recognition because it relies more on dialogue than visuals, but its idea of weaponized language is unsettling and sticks with you.
