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.

If you don't want to know what this film is about. Don't read any further.This film is an intelligent, and thought provoking drama, well paced and exciting. This film is not about Zombies, this is a just a small part of the crux of this film which deals with a serious issue.The main part is that I agreed entirely with every word spoken by the DJ, aside from what the terrorist wanted him to say over the air at gun point.When the Western World invades Middle East countries under the pretext of getting rid of their dictator's, when it's really all about oil, then we proceed to try and bring Western ideologically driven so-called democracy to the far East, what the hell can we expect ?, to be patted on the back ?????????? Both Britain and America have always played the World's police, whether the far East want us or not.And in Dead Air, we get a chance to see what might happen now or in the future, when a Terrorist manages through a type of gas, to turn locals into mad men and women, and then the terrorist hijacks a Radio Talk show.A simple premise that worked well, getting it's point home. But will we Westeners learn ?????????.

If it weren't for the ending, I would have given this film a full 9. The movie starts almost like Pontypool. Same controversial radio host, same woman boss, same feeling of weirdness from people that are at the same time isolated and in the center of attention of their listeners.The plot is about some middle eastern guys that plant a zombification virus in the major U.S. cities, so people just get really mad and start scratching at each other. Later on, the plot is revealed to be slightly more complex. I really liked the dialogue of Abir, although I may be a little biased there. At least I was glad to see a terrorist that is smart, idealistic and petty at the same time. It really gave dimensions to the character.One reviewer said that the zombies were ridiculous. What I find ridiculous are the films where infected people start acting like dumbed down superheroes, ripping arms and biting through necks. We're just human, damn it, with flat teeth and trimmed fingernails. From that standpoint, the movie was refreshing. Yeah, the extras were not professional zombies, I get it. Maybe that's why they call movies like this low budget. Like all zombie movies, it features a way for infected people to not attack each other, which for me seems the thing most hard to believe.Babylon 5's Patricia Tallman is still sexy, even at her age, but her role is supporting at best. That gets a little annoying when the entire movie has about six characters beside the zombies, and most of them secondary. Also the ending was really bad. The film was decent for a long time, clearly overcoming the financial shortcomings, but the last 10 minutes just ruined a lot of the buildup.Bottom line: it really was painfully low budget, but at the same time refreshing and showed a decent effort from both production and acting teams. It is a must see for a horror fan. Personally, I would get some more funding and redo the last 15 minutes, because they felt like a plane crash near the destination runway.

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!
