Simon Crook Empire Magazine Falls down technically (unsurprisingly) and narratively (bit if shame) but with a certain British charm. Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out This overlong, non-frightening debut features ugly digital images that are either over-saturated or absurdly badly lit, and its attempts at leavening humour all fall flat. Rated: 2/5 Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Toby Young Times (UK) There's no jeopardy, no conflict, no drama. Indeed, Price doesn't seem to be aware of the most basic principles of storytelling. Rated: 1/5 Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Anne Billson The Arts Desk Where the film scores is in its moments of simplicity. This isn't another smirking Z-budget spoof, but has the confidence to take itself seriously (though there are some nice odd touches of humour). Nov 27, 2017 Full Review Josh Bell Filmcritic.com If you take away the novelty of the low budget, what's left is a mostly failed experiment that meanders down many fruitless avenues. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 19, 2010 Full Review D.K. Holm Vancouver Voice Until it turns poignant, Colin is often funny. Oct 10, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

colin m A great P.O.V movie, in south-west London. Filmed on a £45 budget, but makes its point cleverly. It could usefully have included older actors as well as young ones. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I won't lie; I avoided watching this movie for a long time. I generally don't like low budget zombie films because many of them are just poorly made. Sure there were a few diamonds in the rough, but overall the good ones are few and far between. And I hate zombie films that try and humanize zombies or get inside their head like the 2008 version of Day of the Dead tried to do. I have never, ever liked a zombie movie where they tried to make the zombie somewhat sympathetic and as a result I assumed I wouldn't like this movie. I couldn't have been more wrong. Colin is one of the most entertaining and original zombie films I've ever seen. It is made all the more impressive when you consider what the filmmaker accomplished on such a shoestring budget. This is a movie worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Although its low budget often show in the camera work and acting, it adds to the dreary post apocalyptic world where zombies have taken over. Shooting from the zombie's perspective is a refreshing change from the usual humans running from zombie scenarios. Hopefully this will lead to bigger things in the future. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Skip it! Perhaps I'm a horror snob, but I've come to expect more from a zombie film than just moaning/groaning, munching scenes and stupid people. In a world overrun with zombies, people would protect themselves better than they're portrayed to in this film. Not to mention the inconsistencies with the zombies, do they like light or not? Seriously! I understand the big hype with this film is the tiny budget, but I've seen 10 year olds do better with nothing more than the things they have in their closet. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This overlong, non-frightening debut features ugly digital images that are either over-saturated or absurdly badly lit, and its attempts at leavening humour all fall flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 78% Here's a new one for the Z genera, the undead have feelings...in their nerve endings. But that's not what every one's talking about. It seems this artisticly shot (some hate it, some love it, gotta love art) cost an estimated 40 quid to make and I'll tell you what, if I had made this puppy for $70, I'd be damn proud, damn proud.
