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.

3/5

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.

Even though this movie includes a lot of standard zombie tropes, its unique elements are fantastic, the gore is plentiful, and the characters have depth, making for a rollicking good time.

4/5

Train to Busan and Peninsula were praised for their chaos direction, but for his biggest production yet, Colony’s large-scale organized turmoil is impressive, thought provoking, and worthy of a visceral reaction.

The characters had very little purpose and no character arc. Some were also so annoying and unreasonable. Very unrealistic outcomes throughout. Train to Busan is levels above this one. I just couldn’t get myself to believe in the plot due to the lack of realism and logic.

Another K-Horror banger. Crammed into this movie (and into the building) are several characters each given a personality and something to work towards. The stakes are high for the entirety of the film. Very well acted and shot. Highly recommend this one.
