Today we added our official review of Bruce McDonald's Pontypool, which just had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. "While PONTYPOOL is a thought-provoking and suspenseful film, some of the flaws will really take the audience out of the movie." Click the title for the full review of the film that follows a small-town radio station jockey who discovers that recent madness in the local population may be caused by a virus transmitted through speech. In addition, you can check out another opinion over at Twitch Film. Click here for all TIFF reviews.

I have yet to see Pontypool, but the seemingly low production values regarding the look may be due to the fact that it's the first feature (or one of the first features) to be shot entirely on Red One cameras (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RED_Digital_Camera_Company). From my understanding, it's a burgeoning format, but I'm not sure if people have a full grasp on how to best use it at this point.
