A rare treat for horror fans, a chance to see Bill Moseley in a straight role portraying a normal, rational thinking human being who isn't hostile or incredibly inhospitable to innocent people. He stars as a radio personality whose station is located in the center of a city whose citizens have become infected by a bio-weapon released by Muslim terrorists who stole the toxic substance supposedly from Quantico Bay, Virginia. Worried for his wife and child as the outbreak produces insanity, ongoing explosions of violence, and flesh eating, Moseley(..as Logan)remains at his station, communicating what he can to the outside world that may be unaffected by what has transpired. Soon, however, his own crew become infected as the outbreak finds it's way into his building, and Logan(..along with his producer Lucy, portrayed by Patricia Tallman, of Night of the Living Dead fame)must also fend off a Muslim terrorist responsible for spreading the virus(..and who also has an anti-serum for which he keeps to himself, despite having another Muslim comrade in need of it)who has them held at gunpoint, wanting his own message spread across the airwaves. An interesting variation on George Romero's "The Crazies", is confined mostly to the radio station, but occasionally ventures outside where we can see how the infected operate. More or less a zombie film with a message against mankind's continual progression towards destroying itself, whether by chemical or other means. The virus, like a zombie plague, is breathed from the air, taking a slow hold over the human body, eventually turning those infected into raving, bloodthirsty maniacs who attack anyone that is in their trajectory. With David Moscow as Logan's radio partner, Gil(..who courageously braves the outside to ride his motorcycle to Logan's house to see if his family is safe)and Dan Lauria as the man who operates the controls, Fred. Navid Negahban is Abir, the Muslim terrorist who besieges Logan and Lucy, the expository figure who explains to us what the weapon is harming everyone and who was behind it to begin with. Outbursts of violence do occur in the movie, but "Dead Air" isn't as potent or shocking as other zombie flicks of it's ilk. "Dead Air", still, will be of interest to those horror fans who wonder what it would be like to see Moseley as an ordinary man, whose voice is of importance as it relates the horrors occurring on the streets, feeding information to his audience(..and depending on live witness reports from listeners/callers who are experiencing first-hand what is taking place)as he gets it.
