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.

4/5

...Yeon’s anime background looms large in the precision of high-octane sequences... That ceaseless kinetic quality makes for a hugely entertaining addition to Yeon’s increasingly distinctive horror universe.

When Yeon keeps his eye on big thrills and the treacherous politics of research science, Colony is a mostly successful experiment

2.5/4

Edited at a wild pace, the action sequences are nerve-wracking and make for a wacky combo of scary and grisly funny. “Colony” builds to a decent finale but the first part of the film is its strongest.

4/5

Colony brings together fears of technology, the erosion of human individuality, corruption in big corporations, health anxiety in a post-COVID society, and more in a film that, while not as groundbreaking as Train to Busan, boasts a deadly bite.

6/10

What Colony lacks in emotional and thematic depth, it partially makes up for in South Korean star power, acrobatic zombie choreography, and Yeon’s practiced direction.

An ambitious, action-packed zombie horror from one of the best to ever do it, Colony is a flawed yet ambitious follow-up to a film which simply can’t be topped. When it works, it really works.

Colony is a perfect zombie movie that takes horror, action and suspense to the next level. Everything from the premise to the makeup are perfect. Even the main villain is so good. Don’t underestimate the villain because he has some tricks up his sleeve. Overall, Colony is an amazing Korean film that should had competed for the Golden Palm at Cannes Film Festival.

What a movie. Think it’s a refreshing take on zombie movies. Has one of the coolest scenes when the security guard started going up against the infected.
