What critics compared Pontypool to
Undertone is Pontypool, Skinamarink and Sinister for an age of podcasts, ASMR and Creepypasta.
…these are tricks we’ve specifically seen/heard before in audio-forward horror like Session 9 or Pontypool…
Think of such liminal space thrillers asCube, Dead End, Pontypool, or even The Shining.
The screenplay by Moller and Emil Nygaard Albertsen relies on vocal descriptions, much like Bruce McDonald’s horror thriller Pontypool , to create indelible images as Asger races against time to try to solve the case.
