Another IFC Acquisition Pontypool Comes to Theatres This Spring: Movie Trailer, News and Poster

A little background on IFC first, which has gathered several films, to its repetoire in recent months. The Independent Film Channel is a New York based distribution company that has primarily dealt with independent films and documentaries. IFC has garnered attention for its negotiated deals with movie studios and for the company's acquisition of several independent horror films including; "Left Bank," "Dead Snow," "The Disappeared," and now "Pontypool."

Now a synopsis...

Shock jock Grant Mazzy has, once again, been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now the only job he can get is the early morning show at CLSY Radio in Pontypool Ontario, which broadcasts from the basement of the small towns only church.

What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations, due to yet another massive snow storm, quickly turns deadly when reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence start piling in. But there's nothing coming in on the news wires. Is this really happening?

Before long, Grant and the small staff at CLSY find themselves trapped in the radio station as they discover that this insane behaviour taking over the town is actually a deadly virus being spread through the English language itself. And human existence seems in peril...(Traileraddict).
