30 Great Movies About Viral Outbreaks

21. Pontypool (2009)

Pontypool is a Canadian horror movie directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess, based on his novel Pontypool Changes Everything.

It focuses on a shock jock radio host as he interprets the possible outbreak of a deadly virus which infects the small Ontario town he is stationed in (the titular Pontypool).

The unique thing about this virus? It’s carried by words – specifically English ones – so the survivors are forced to converse in different ways. It’s a genuinely compelling movie.
