Directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess, PONTYPOOL is about a down-on-his-luck radio announcer in the small town of Pontypool, Ontario. Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie), a radio shock-jock on his way to work is accosted by a strange woman who keeps repeating the word "blood" and staggers away. At work, his producer Laurel-Ann as usual puts up with his persona, while his boss, Sydney, is disturbed and angered by his style. A helicopter reporter calls in a report outside a doctor's office about a riot. Grant describes this on the air in a very disjointed fashion featuring a virus and zombies causing Pontypool's tiny radio station to be attacked by irate rioters. Wild imagination causes murderous attacks and ugly suicides.
