Why should I watch Colony (2026)?
Colony is worth considering if you enjoy Korean survival thrillers, fast-paced action and movies that put a new spin on the infected/zombie genre. Yeon Sang-ho, known for Train to Busan, creates a contained survival story where the characters are trapped in a high-rise while the threat continues to evolve. The unusual behavior of the infected gives the movie a different identity from a conventional zombie film.
