Critics Consensus

Layering modern anxieties about technology onto a nightmarish outbreak, Colony lacks the vivid characterizations that distinguish director Yeon Sang-ho's best work but mostly reaffirms his mastery over zombie mayhem.

3.5/5

Yeon Sang-ho pushes his zombie legacy forward in a propulsive, thrilling new film that doesn’t reinvent the formula, but instead repurposes it for digestible social commentary.

3.5/5

It's certainly better than its predecessor ("Peninsula") and has some sensational moments, but it has nowhere near the high-octane brilliance that made "Busan" so breathtaking.

7/10

While this film doesn’t live up to the high bar the director set for himself, it’s a good time, and that makes it hard to ignore he’s one of the filmmakers keeping the George A. Romero zombie energy going in these modern times.

[I]t's quite a surprise to see that writer/director Yeon Sang-ho ... has come up with something different for his zombies in Colony.

7.5/10

The true standout is the collective "creature performance" of the actors playing the infected, who perform their part in such a brilliantly synchronized way akin to a horror flash mob.
