Torin F THE COLONY (2013) is a committed genre film, a lean mean dystopian thriller with little pretense about being anything more than a solid B movie (in the best sense). An atmospheric setting, slow-burn plot, and suitably creepy climax, led by a capable (if somewhat underutilized) cast. It's a serviceable weeknight popcorn flick that deserves better than the current abysmal ratings. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Laurie S A bit silly in places but an okay film if you've had a few drinks. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Erin M Great action survival movie….too bad lots of reviews complaining about minor details. But it was made pretty clear that the real threats were running out of food and humans turning on one another. If emperor penguins can survive the cold in Antarctica by huddling together and taking turns on the outside, then obviously humans could do the same. Come on people…it’s not that hard to suspend disbelief here…. we don’t need to see every single exact & accurate detail of cold weather survival practices to enjoy this movie! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review DJ S Gripping and thrilling movie that keeps on that famous edge every-one talks about. Watched it several times now it’s that good. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review christine c I'm not sure why this movie didn't get higher ratings. It's kind of a hidden gem. I loved it from before to end. It was exciting and kept you on the edge of your seat quite a lot. I've watched it 3 times and consistently recommend it to people who like that genre. I would give it a chance some parts are a little bloody but it's a good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Jason G Not the best but not the worst. I think it’s funny people think they know science as one cannot see their breath when several hundreds of feet beneath the earth’s surface regardless if in ice age type weather or not. You can tell by the presence of liquid water. This is not director laziness as so much evidence would not be apparent. Also one would expect with few people left alive that someone would be stupid and ask the question “do you think this machine still works”. Obviously I know it doesn’t but I’m sure people who watched it thought “does it work?” Expecting an answer. Again not lazy directing just us assuming the best out of the lesser intellectually capable people that are more than likely present in abundance during this type of situation. Lastly, when has Hollywood ever done anything within reason. End of the world overkill scenarios, inbred people that can be stabbed multiple times, even super hero powers have been enhanced over time with Superman being able to fly instead of jump building to building (how impossible is that). If it’s fiction why should it be realistic? It is advertised as a sci-fi action film. So if a mutated humanoid can take a bullet to the head, who am I to judge/argue. I’d watch a documentary or smthng if I expected anything less. People just didn’t like it because it’s Canadian. Don’t listen to the reviews give it a watch. I know I put it off long enough bc of the “bad” reviews. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
