: Pontypool: French, Zombies and Basilisk Hacks
: crawlkill May 15, 2012, 04:38:23 PM
is it even remotely appropriate to make a thread for a movie? well I'm DOING IT. just try and stop me.

anyway, I just caught Pontypool on sweet, sweet Netflix, as trailered here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehq2a8lum_4

and could not but think of RPPR, what with the basilisk hack early Eclipse Phase core theme and the zombie sub-theme. it's like if Caleb and Ross could breed. as a horror movie it's a little weak--I mean, you won't be scared, I promise--but it's probably the most interesting treatment of zombies I've ever seen, and how often do you get memetic viruses in film?

it's super worth a watch if you don't mind a long character-establishing build and a little bit of hokeyness along with your second-degree nightmare fuel. check it owwwt.

yup. I've seen it. It's based on a novel, but I've heard they changed quite a bit for the movie.
