Pontypool (2009)

A small talk-radio crew in Ontario does their best to cover a sudden outbreak in their town, completely dependent on call-ins from eyewitnesses to tell them what’s happening.

This is genius storytelling: I was terrified by what I heard and imagined, just as I used to be while reading Stephen King in the dead of night. There’s a dip in the terror once the infection makes its way to the station's own doors and we can see the disease rather than having to picture it, but it’s still worthwhile.
