Pontypool (2008)

 

A radio host interprets the possible outbreak of a deadly virus which infects the small Ontario town he is stationed in. 

A welcome original take on the zombie genre works quite well as a one-room drama with incoming (and outgoing) radio messages, but is muddled by a irritatingly ambiguous main character and a silly 'linguistic' explanation for the doomsday virus.

 

 

 

The Void (2016)

Shortly after delivering a patient to an understaffed hospital, a police officer experiences strange and violent occurrences seemingly linked to a group of mysterious hooded figures.

An over-the-top gorefest made by cineastes who know what they're going and do it well, and their love for the respective 80s classics is obvious; that the plot is incoherent and nonsensical, won't bother hardcore fans of the genre.
