Pontypool (2009)

This ingenious thriller is set in a small-town Canadian radio station, where the staff find themselves covering the outbreak of a virus that turns its victims into bloodthirsty cannibals. The film’s creators insist that it isn’t a zombie film, but like 28 Days Later it has enough similarities with the genre to warrant inclusion in this list. And it has a killer twist: the virus is memetic – it’s spread by language, not by biting.

    For respect - watch the the first 5-10 minutes of the remake.
    You will see the reporters helicoper - in the same colours etc - fly in front of the camera before the car crash below where the car gets hit side on and sets the petrol station on fire.
    A nice nod to George Romero - and apparently, no one wanted sprinting zombie in the remake but the producers
