(2008) Bruce McDonald
Pontypool is a horror movie that uses a very Lovecraftian approach to tell the story of a bizarre alien outbreak. The infectious agent is something that Abdul Al-Hazred would have understood.
Stephen McHattie plays a former shock-jock who becomes the host of a small town radio show that is on the air when crisis strikes the town. This movie plays with building dread without physically revealing what is actually happening. This is a "closed room" story and it does a good job building suspense and evokes the storytelling of good radio drama. The explanation of causation of the outbreak is thoroughly original. . . Watch it.
