Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

lifeofjojo There's not much original to be seen here, but it isn't all bad. The acting is workmanlike. Most people are unlikely to be scared, and I personally think they could have improved the movie by making nearly all of it take place within the confines of the building they were broadcasting from.Also, the setup at the beginning of the movie is very unnecessary and could have been better achieved by hearsay, caller's on the radio, etc. That being said, it is a watchable movie, but be prepared for a cliché, we didn't really try too much, ending.

ret423 This was a great movie! The people who are complaining about the way the infected people acted have been watching too much TV.The premise here is that the "virus" causes people to go mad, they lose all there brain function, memories and priorities and are left with only violent rage. If they were depicted as expert fighters who used reason and tactics to destroy their prey it would not be consistent with the premise.The "bad guys" are depicted very realistically as well, they have an agenda and they are more concerned with that than any individual they encounter on the way.I thought this was a very realistic depiction of how a scenario like this might play out, right down to the myriad of personalities the radio station employees had. Lots of action and void of most of the politically correct garbage that usually accompanies a Terrorist flick.Well worth the watch!

espontaneo-1 I watched this film mistakenly thinking that it was that other radio station zombie flick. The shonky production values and low-rent cast soon gave away that this was another one of the those cheap sci-fi channel style knock offs.The central performance from Bill Moseley is initially quite engaging as the dubious radio shock jock but as the film goes on becomes less and less convincing as he is actually required to act. The rest of the cast have little to do other than look concerned and have no depth whatsoever.The cinematography is dull, flat and completely uninspired, like so many of these kind of films. It doesn't even manage a decent bit of convincing gore, the zombie make up is literally pathetic apart from one notable exception towards the end of the film.The film tries to inject originality and a message into it's concoction of half baked and ripped off ideas by somehow equating this outbreak with intolerance towards Islam and the war on terror. This is woefully handled with all the intellectual clout of a 6 year old. As the characters and seemingly the writers are unable to distinguish the difference between race and religion - describing all people of a certain skin colour as "muslims." Most notably one character is revealed to be Muslim by skin colour alone. At the same time the "muslim" terrorists who cause the outbreak are the usual psychopathic stereotype. Presumably the far far superior Pontypool had a similar budget as Dead Air yet shines everywhere where this film fails miserably.

rswaller3 After reading a brief description of this film I thought someone had remade PONTYPOOL already. Well it is not a remake...but it really, really, borrows heavily from it. It also borrows quite a bit from 28 DAYS LATER.Terrorist simultaneously detonate chemical bombs at major sporting events across the United States. The chemicals turn people into highly contagious, rabid, homicidal maniacs. A radio talk show host (Bill Mosely) and his crew are broadcasting live while the events unfold.Most of the events take place at the radio station ala PONTYPOOL. Luckily the virus is man-made and not verbal (a plot point of PONTYPOOL that, while original, just didn't work for me). The infected have bleeding eyes, run fast and can infect you with just a scratch ala 28 DAYS LATER. So basically this movies takes the best parts of both films and mixes them together for its own purposes.Over all I thought this was a great, entertaining movie. It moves along quickly and has some truly disturbing and horrific moments. Unfortunately the similarities to the other films was a bit of a let down and will probably turn some people off.
