Dead Air takes place in modern times Los Angeles, California. A bio-terrorism attack is underway turning the citizens of L.A. into flesh-craving monsters, and one man named Logan Burnhardt (Bill Moseley) and his crew are holed up inside the radio station. After frantic callers and a close encounter with the undead and the terrorist themselves, the usually unflappable Burnhardt realizes many things about his own life.
The only real reason I choose to pick up this movie was Bill Moseley. The running time of 89 minutes and 57 seconds, seemed to me a bit too long for this movie. Gore is not much of an issue here, so those with weak stomachs could get through it. The story seemed pretty weak to begin with, but when you have a horror legend like Moseley in it the crowds will come. The message you get about what is actually important in life, and that we as a society get too tangled up in unimportant issues stays at the fore front of your mind. This movie pretty much just rode on Bill Moseley’s star power as unfortunate as that is.

What Mark Gagne said… it sounds exactly like Pontypool. Is this film an official remake or did the yanks just decide that it’s okay to nick another good idea from their neighbours?
When I found out that Patricia Tallman was in this movie I just had to see it. If you don’t know, she was the woman who played in the 1990 remake of “Night of the Living Dead”, but back then she was skinnier and had shorter hair. It was good to see her in another zombie movie.
Just watched it…. I enjoyed it.
yes… far too similar to pontypool, which i enjoyed.
This movie sounds very similar to Pontypool, which wasn’t a bad Canadian horror/zombie flick directed by Bruce McDonald and starring Stephen McHattie.
