Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, if you are in this movie for zombies, don't get your hopes as, as there aren't actually any 'stereotypical' zombies as in shambling, ravenous flesh-eating ghouls. However, the movie does have a strange infection that causes people to become feral and rapid, doing bodily harm and injury to others, much alike zombie behavior, yes. But not zombies as in the usual type that we are used to.That being said, then I am not saying that "Dead Air" is a boring or not worth watching, because it is actually rather enjoyable. The storyline is good, fluid and fast paced, although the ending to the movie was rather cliché and predictable.What makes the movie work so nice is the dialog, because there is a lot of clever banter throughout the movie, and Bill Moseley really nailed the role of a radio host quite well, and I was pleasantly impressed. I enjoy most of his movies, but he really pulled off this role quite amazingly well. And it was also great to have Bill Moseley and Patricia Tallman together again on the screen, although in very different roles from their last collaboration.As much of a zombie aficionado that I am, then I enjoyed this movie for what it was, a sort of early-stage infection movie that could have lead to the zombie outbreaks that we are accustomed to seeing in the movies. The story was well executed, and it did bring up some rather interesting points about how mankind create things often used for destruction, as well as the destructive nature of mankind. Whether or not you pick up on these viewpoints (or even care about them), then "Dead Air" is good entertainment from start to end.And amongst the callers who call Logan's show, there are some nice treats; they had some fairly great names adding their voices to the show, which was a subtle, but rather nice touch."Dead Air" is definitely worth watching for fans of Bill Moseley and for fans of a proper good suspense movie in overall.

ThatOneGuy01 I've no clue what the bad reviews are about. i guess there will always be critics no matter how great a movie is.It seems the more zombie flicks i try to find, the less appealing they get. this movie may not be as action packed as the typical zombie movie, but it does keep you very entertained. There are few characters, as it take place in a building with only about 4 or 5 people in it. though there are few, they are very likable.The story takes place in a radio station where the sarcastic, nicely bearded radio host Logan does his show. He is in the middle of his show taking calls when he starts to get numerous calls about a disaster taking place at that very second. He of course ignores it as his show is about paranoia. but once the calls keep coming and he turns on his television, he starts to realize the magnitude of the situation and all of his co workers with him. throughout the movie you see either live recordings or television recordings of the zombies and people getting dismembered and devoured. Logan, along with his radio partner, keep the show running and keep taking calls trying to tell everyone whats going on, and get more information on the impending apocalypse.I found this movie to have a little bit of everything. Its amazing actors and characters, plot, and emotion are what make me give it an 8 out of 10. There are, also, some pretty epic zombies. I recommend this movie to ANYONE who enjoys a slightly "edge of your seat" kind of movie where you stand by and experience the tragic zombie apocalypse with everyone else and the huge effect it has on the survivors.

ret423 This was a great movie! The people who are complaining about the way the infected people acted have been watching too much TV.The premise here is that the "virus" causes people to go mad, they lose all there brain function, memories and priorities and are left with only violent rage. If they were depicted as expert fighters who used reason and tactics to destroy their prey it would not be consistent with the premise.The "bad guys" are depicted very realistically as well, they have an agenda and they are more concerned with that than any individual they encounter on the way.I thought this was a very realistic depiction of how a scenario like this might play out, right down to the myriad of personalities the radio station employees had. Lots of action and void of most of the politically correct garbage that usually accompanies a Terrorist flick.Well worth the watch!

jonb-29 Far from combining the best bits of Pontypool and 28 days this managed to ignore them. Whilst shamelessly copying them. (if that makes sense?) Pontypool was different and got progressively tenser, this just stinks. The Radio DJ, "we must stay on air" spends effectively no time on air. He sits on his bottom and watches the TV for news. This is by far the worst excuse for a zombie movie ever. Is there a single person in the USA or indeed the world who doesn't know what a zombie is? Or ever heard of the word "zombie"? Well, by the 50th minute this bunch of misfits are still calling the zombies, "the infected ones" or the ones with "rabies'. The word "Zombie" might make a guest appearance later, I could care less. Maybe there's a copyright where you have to pay to use certain words? Like the Bluetooth earphone is called "the ear-thingy" I kid you not! To finish, no plot + no acting = no-one cares. A waste of time, a shameless, poorly executed rip-off.
