Zombie projects can be smart, but this project seems too unsure of its own identity to fully commit to the zany ideas Yeon has in store. It would have been better to stick to being brainless. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com May 25
Maybe Sang-ho needed the confined space of a train to really hit his mark. Let’s get him back on board one soon. Go to Full Review Emma Kiely Little White Lies May 17
While it’s always interesting to see how an age-old genre can be reinvigorated, this new ​“development” isn’t nearly revolutionary enough to hang a two-hour film on. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 1d
2.5/5
There are too many echoes of other, better properties - Romero’s and Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead, The Raid, Resident Evil and The Last of Us, for starters - for it to stake its own genre claim. Go to Full Review Chad Collins Dread Central 6d
4/5
Yeon Sang-ho’s Colony is ‘Train to Busan’ on steroids. It’s a rip-roaring, terrifying zombie epic, and the best undead movie in years. Go to Full Review Joanne Soh The Straits Times (Singapore) 6d
3/5
Colony is entertaining and easy to consume. Just don’t expect any deeper bite. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
