    Colony is a marginal departure from your classic zombie flick. While intelligently written, there's not a lot on offer here, aside from a zombie hive mind proposition, that distinguishes this outbreak zombie horror disaster drama from others in the genre. That's not to say it's not worth a look if you like this kind of thing. The acting is excellent; the characters have a genuine depth, offering up predictably human …

    This is another great example of how Koreans understand zombie movies. Just like with Train to Busan this movie does something interesting with the concept rather than just repeat the tropes we have already seen. There is a great deal of urgency in this movie and the actors and directors pull this off very well. The effects are very high class and the overall presentation is highly proficient. I did enjoy this quite …

    *Colony* is so smart and exhilarating, with breathtaking cinematography by Byun Bong-sun. The fact that an outbreak film is doing something different rather than rehashing everything that came before it is enough to warrant a watch. But it’s such a clever spin on the genre, it ends up clawing and biting its way to being one of the best films of the year. <https://bit.ly/Colony26>

    I wasn't inspired by the start of this film as it resembled a sort of foaming-at-the-mouth edition of the "Kids from Fame", but once it settles down it's actually quite a decent hybrid of a horror movie and a sci-fi thriller. It's following a presentation by a tech CEO (Kim Jong-tae) who is advancing the theories of communal communication and learning, itself quite a terrifying thought, that the disgruntled "Suh Yeon…

    Yeon Sang-ho does it again! After a relatively weak "Peninsula" he is establishing himself as the George Romero of this generation with a zombie movie almost as good as his masterpiece "Train to Busan". Perhaps lacking a bit on the dialogs and missing a superb acting job like Gong Yoo's or Ma Dong-Seok's , Colony still keeps you on the edge of the seat for two hours of FAST zombie chase sequences. What a year for hor…
