2.5/4

It’s gloopy, gory, and greasy, which is all you might want from a zombie movie. But it feels like it wants to do more, and comes up short in the bargain.

2.5/4

Colony stops just short of capturing the gleefully sustained and heightened sense of suspense that made Train to Busan so electrifying.

By the time Colony’s un-Die Hard action swoops into its epic finale, you’ll be whooping and hollering like one of the undead horde.

4.5/5

Colony is so smart and exhilarating, with breathtaking cinematography by Byun Bong-sun. 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.

A-

Colony proves to all of us that Yeon Sang-ho should only work within genre constraints, because he’s always able to thoughtfully reinvent himself and the allegories he represents.

3/5

There is obvious political allegory to this clash of individualism and collectivism, of hard libertarianism and committed communism – but what perhaps is more interesting is the way that Yeon and his co-writer Choi Kyu-sok show both sides of the conflict.
