Logan Burnhardt is the ego-king of the airwaves, but his unflappable persona is put to the test when a terrorist bio-attack unleashes a plague of flesh-ripping maniacs on Los Angeles.

There's not much original to be seen here, but it isn't all bad. The acting is workmanlike. Most people are unlikely to be scared, and I personally think they could have improved the movie by making nearly all of it take place within the confines of the building they were broadcasting from.Also, the setup at the beginning of the movie is very unnecessary and could have been better achieved by hearsay, caller's on the radio, etc. That being said, it is a watchable movie, but be prepared for a cliché, we didn't really try too much, ending.
This film is putrid. Not only does it have completely amateur production values ( my niece could have done better with her iphone) but the acting and makeup are an embarrassment. The film's script and storyline are so bad I almost laughed out loud more than a few times. In fact I wondered how I managed to get through through the whole thing, then realized it was one of those films that was so bad it was mildly entertaining. But beware, it might not have the same effect on you. Pontypool is vastly superior in all areas, I suggest you check that excellent film out before spending your hard earned money on this mess.Corbin Bernsen should stick to his second-rate TV career rather than direct third-rate movies such as this laugher.
Corben Bernsen directed horror film about a chemical weapon being released in a sporting event and turning everyone in to insane monsters. We watch as the staff at a radio station takes reports.Its has moments but mostly it plays like a Lifetime horror movie with breasts and blood. There are some really good ideas here, but they just don't work. Actually the film's ideas are better handled in a film called Pontypool which pretty much works all the way through and builds tension by not showing us anything. This shows us stuff and it just seems cheap. Given the choice I'd watch Pontypool again rather than watch this film again.
I watched this film mistakenly thinking that it was that other radio station zombie flick. The shonky production values and low-rent cast soon gave away that this was another one of the those cheap sci-fi channel style knock offs.The central performance from Bill Moseley is initially quite engaging as the dubious radio shock jock but as the film goes on becomes less and less convincing as he is actually required to act. The rest of the cast have little to do other than look concerned and have no depth whatsoever.The cinematography is dull, flat and completely uninspired, like so many of these kind of films. It doesn't even manage a decent bit of convincing gore, the zombie make up is literally pathetic apart from one notable exception towards the end of the film.The film tries to inject originality and a message into it's concoction of half baked and ripped off ideas by somehow equating this outbreak with intolerance towards Islam and the war on terror. This is woefully handled with all the intellectual clout of a 6 year old. As the characters and seemingly the writers are unable to distinguish the difference between race and religion - describing all people of a certain skin colour as "muslims." Most notably one character is revealed to be Muslim by skin colour alone. At the same time the "muslim" terrorists who cause the outbreak are the usual psychopathic stereotype. Presumably the far far superior Pontypool had a similar budget as Dead Air yet shines everywhere where this film fails miserably.
