Entertainment Weekly -
Think of this witty, economically gory little tour de force as "28 Days Later" written by linguist Noam Chomsky.

The A.V. Club -
Primarily though, the film works as a tour de force for McHattie--a veteran character actor making the most of his character’s long, fluid monologues--and as a sly commentary on journalistic responsibility.

New York Daily News -
A horror flick that's all talk and (almost) no action? The risk pays off better than you'd think.

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Pontypool doesn't jell--its pretensions way exceed its reach--yet it's madly suggestive, and it rekindled my affection for the genre.

The New York Times -
A small Canadian horror film that makes the most of its minuscule budget.
