4 Horror Films On Netflix Instant Watch That Will Keep You Up At Night

“Pontypool”.

Talk radio host Grant Mazzy’s opening pep talk sets the stage, becoming an inverse prophecy for him as the outside world spirals into hell, dragging him with it. A virus within the English language slowly takes over a small town in Ontario, sending infected after uninfected on a bloody mission. As if Canada wasn’t terrifying enough with its poutine, Sasquatches and wearing socks with sandals, it just had to bring a civilization killer to the world. “Pontypool” is a single-set movie with a scary story, great acting, and characters that thrive within the boundaries of the single-set, letting the closed walls of a church basement turn up the tension rather than confine it. Watch Mazzy’s professional arrogance erode away from during a BBC interview in a great up close scene that will trigger a feeling of claustrophobia as the realization of how small the world of “Pontypool” has become.
