Unhappy with his current neighborhood, business executive Rick Knowlton (John Ritter) decides to relocate his family to a sheltered suburban community, largely at the urging of his boss, Philip Denig (Hal Linden). While the new area initially seems to be everything Rick had wanted for his wife (Mary Page Keller) and son (Cody Dorkin), he begins to realize that the community isn't so ideal after all, and that bad things can lurk in even the most secure neighborhoods.

David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The Colony is marginally entertaining, if only on a let's-see-just-how-predictable-this'll-wind-up-getting sort of way. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 9, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member THIS could have been done SO SO MUCH better and VERY relevant themes in this age. Amazing premise, if it was made on a better budget and more polished would have been great. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Your typical utopia gone wrong thriller. When the perfect neighborhood, turns out the be more like a cult, it becomes clear that it's either escape from "The Colony" or die. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member it's legal to cut out a dogs vocal cords?!?! REALLY???? i'm sooooo scared of gated communities now...lol Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It may become a reality Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member What a creepy neighborhood. And what a crappy movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member was a edge of seat.. exciting movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
