Do you believe in Zombies? This is a question i’m asked at least once a day from people and most of the time my answer is 75%No 20%yes and 5%maybe. I’m a massive zombie fan and like most (at least I think most) of zombie fans I have made loose mental plans of what to do if the dead rise. You know the basic stuff, board up the ground floor windows, gather up the weapons you can, fill up the tub and sinks with water.. etc etc. I also have gone as far as to make sure certain consumable in the house are always stocked… in case of a natural disaster.. right? With all this said I never “really” deep down thought there would ever be a zombie outbreak let alone an apocalypse. Especially like the ones we watch in the movies or read about. I guess there might be a lab somewhere in the future that could create a viral infection of some kind that would cause a zombie like outbreak, but I doubt it’s happening right now…. OR IS IT!

I found this video from over at viralfootage.com and it looks pretty convincing… it has me thinking… theres lots of weird shit coming out of Russia.. lots of experiments that skirt the fringes of ethical science (or so my brain washed born in the 80′s mind tells me). Maybe just maybe this is real! ahhh better get another flat of canned fruit on grocery day.

PontyPool is a Canadian “Zombie” Horror film. The story is set in the small Canadian town of Ponypool, the entire film takes place at a radio station. Stephen McHattie stars as Grant Mazzy the morning DJ, Lisa Houle plays Sydney Briar and Georgina Reilly plays Laurel-Ann Drummond as the audio Tech. They start taking reports of extreme, bloody incidents of violence in riots occurring in town people describe the actions as zombie like. The radio station has a “Sunshine Chopper” which is really a dodge dart, Ken Loney the pilot of the dart starts to report in on the gruesome events. Menedez a doctor joins the group and they begin to believe that there is a audio virus travelling through the English language like a mass hypnosis. The audio tech gets infected so the producer, DJ and Doctor lock themselves in the audio booth. the infected Laurel Ann tries to smash through but eventually bleeds out and dies. The group in the audio booth begin speaking French and are uninfected by the infection. They figure out how to destroy the infection by swaping words, they try to contact the Canadian Military but instead here a count down……….

PonyPool was a decent movie, Stephen McHattie’s performance was top notch and his fighting with Lisa Houles was great. Not your standard ZOMBIE MOVIE which was nice to see.
