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 responses, for better or worse, to the unfolding disaster that befalls them.

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.
