In this 2009 thriller directed by Bruce McDonald, a small-town radio station in Ontario becomes the epicenter of a mysterious outbreak. As the morning unfolds, the station’s staff, led by radio host Grant Mazzy, played by Stephen McHattie, encounters bizarre reports of violence and chaos spreading through the town. The film cleverly explores the power of language and communication as the source of the contagion, creating a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere. While it didn’t receive major awards, the movie is noted for its unique take on the zombie genre and its innovative storytelling. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
