!!''Dead Air'' contains examples of:
* ClothingDamage: One of the first victims near the radio station has her shirt torn in half by an infected mob. The {{fanservice}} of this scene is limited, however, as she is violently beaten before rising as a blood-spattered zombie to attack a security guard.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: One of the first signs that a character has become infected.
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The film was originally set to release in theaters in 2007, but was pushed back twice before being released directly to DVD after a premiere at Cannes Film Festival.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: The violent mobs are infected by a chemical agent released by terrorists, which causes them to violently attack any non-infected they see.
* ZombieApocalypse
