Pontypoole is a superb indie horror movie set in a small town community radio station during a zombie outbreak. I hate most zombie movies, and I love that movie. One of the most unique takes on the genre I’ve ever seen.
In terms of more well known Canadian directors, David Cronenberg and Denis Villeneuve are both absolute masters. A significant chunk of Cronenberg’s ouvre is made by Canadian studios, as is all of Villeneuve’s work before Prisoners. I recommend giving Enemy a look, it’s brilliantly weird.
I just remembered Pontypool and was coming here to say exactly this. So good. Have you listened to the radio drama? It’s really good too. It adds another layer as it’s, well, on the radio.

Pontypool is fantastic, definitely one of the best films we’ve ever produced.
