    What starts out promising turn into a really shame of a movie.
    A cross between 28 weeks later and Pontypool with a terrorist threat theme to add.
    I had no problem with the set up, mostly takes place at a late night radio station where you heard the events unfold (just like Pont...( read more)ypool) and bleeding from the eyes zombies that run (28 weeks later) but you do get glimpses of what is going on to in the city too. I found the acting quit hammy and I did?nt like bill moseley performance at all! Beside that there are some nice gore scenes and some good scares but with a low budget you don?t get the sense of dread that there trying to pull off.
    I give it 3 stars for the effort but it?s really a 2 star show.

    In the veins of "28 Days Later" and others, "Dead Air" is a micro-budget movie where there is not gore effects at all, probably, due to the lack of it, HOWEVER, the movie has a good script and some good storyline.
    The execution was below decent, the acting was not good in the m...( read more)ain characters and the rest of the cast was even worse, specially the infected people.
    "Dead Air" is a regular effort in the mini micro low budget horror genre which I always skip and I think this script with a higher budget and better acting would be a very good piece of cinema. I want a remake!

    A bio-chemical bomb goes of in an arena turning thousand of visitors into blood hungry zombies - good idea When viewed from inside a radio station taking calls from scared people. - Not good... One of the most boring zombie movies ever.

    good 1st hour built up nicely as the infection spread to be let down by the all too familiar save the family story line

    Not a bad twist on a zombie flick. I enjoyed the main character.

    This movie seems cool. A zombie movie set in modern real life setting, unlike any other zombie movies.

    I don't normally do horror/suspence, but this one might be interesting.

    This is NOT a spinoff of a level from the video game Left 4 Dead, from Valve. The similarity in the titles is coincidence.
