Peliculas

Stephen MacHattie se apodera de la película cada vez que habla. Su voz es hipnótica e inquietante. Hay que ver la película en VOS para poder apreciarla en todo lo que vale.

Es una película de zombis sin zombis.

Y no es una película de zombis.

Es inteligente, es aterradora y está magníficamente interpretada y dirigida. La tensión se va acumulando a medida que el tiempo pasa y el infierno se desata alrededor de la pequeña emisora de radio.

3 personajes, una localización, 95 minutos, una gran idea, una gran ejecución, grandes actores.

Poco más se puede decir, es una magnífica pequeña joya para los amantes del cine de terror, a la altura de la nunca suficientemente valorada "Mothman: La Última Profecía".

Y mientras tanto, no puedes dejar de prestar atención a la voz de Grant Mazzy:

Mrs. French's cat is missing. The signs are posted all over town. "Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters, but nobody has seen Honey the cat. Nobody. Until last Thursday morning, when Miss Colette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat as she drove across a bridge. Well this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure and even has its own fancy name: "Pont de Flaque". Now Collette, that sounds like "Culotte": That's Panty in French. And Piscine means Pool. Panty Pool. "Flaque" also means pool in French, so Colete Piscine, in French Panty Pool, drives over the Pont de Flaque, the Pont de Pool if you will, to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat that has been missing in Pontypool. Pontypool. Pontypool. Panty pool. Pont de Flaque. What does it mean? Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assasination: In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birthdates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to eachother. It's a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something's going to happen. Something big.

But then, something's always about to happen.
