David W Mchattie is superb in this and holds the surprisingly high concept take on the genre together beautifully. A quirky, claustrophobic and fiercely indie feeling gem of movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review S P An important story with important and impactful underlying concepts that I earnestly believe everyone needs to watch and consider. Sort of like Severance on Apple TV. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Gabriel T Despite its silly conception, the movie can be really effective. The soundproof room scene great be ause the danger is outside and inside at the same time. The way the infection spreads is frightening, you can't know what makes it pass on. Love the first death here. Really well done even low-budget constraints. On the negative side, I felt a bit of xenophobia against Arabs. The guy dressed as "Arab" holding a fake machine gun wasn't cool Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Lee B Very cool take on the zombie/hoard genre. Cast did a great job. The suspense was there and very cool to have the view of an outbreak. While secluded in a radio station and getting your info from the callers. Also, this horror movie was based on an Audio infection. Which is really cool. I enjoyed it. Check it out if u have not yet! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Robson C Em uma pequena cidade do Canadá, o radialista Grant Mazzy pensa que terá um dia normal de trabalho na rádio. Porém, acontecimentos estranhos vão se acumulando e Grant apenas narra o que acontece da sua cabine: as pessoas estão se transformando em uma espécie de zumbi. Depois que o gênero se estabeleceu, os filmes de zumbis ou mortos-vivos são obrigados a se reinventar ano após ano. Assim, antes os zumbis se arrastavam, agora correm. Em outros filmes, reagem a sons, como os alienígenas de Um Dia Silencioso. Neste filme, os zumbis também reagem a sons, pois eles perdem a visão. O que difere estes zumbis do resto dos outros é a forma como as pessoas são infectadas. Não vou dar spoiler porque acho que isso tira um pouco da graça de ver esse filme. Eu, porém, achei um pouco forçada essa ideia. Mas chega a ser interessante o motivo e uma das soluções, levando em conta que o filme se passa no Canadá. Toda a parte da infecção não me pegou, mas, de repente, pode haver quem ache a ideia interessante, até original. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Logan D Shock jock Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie) and his assistants (Lisa Houle and Georgina Reilly) are shocked themselves when reports begin of people turning into flesh devourers. A claustrophobic film that focuses on the reactions of the characters within their studio. There is one scene outside and one physically violent sequence but for the most part we are treated to utilizing our imaginations as people call into the show to explain what is occurring in the world. A very intelligent film, I thought, and McHattie, a veteran, delivers one of his best performances. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
