By the time Colony’s un-Die Hard action swoops into its epic finale, you’ll be whooping and hollering like one of the undead horde. Go to Full Review

Zombie projects can be smart, but this project seems too unsure of its own identity to fully commit to the zany ideas Yeon has in store. It would have been better to stick to being brainless. Go to Full Review
