Reviews
Movie Review – Colony (2026)
Colony (2026) had a good and interesting plot with a lot of potential, but the biggest problem was the pacing. Everything happened too fast. Instead of letting important moments build naturally, the movie kept moving from one event to another without giving enough time to connect emotionally with the characters.There were too many things happening at once, and because of that, many ideas and scenes didn’t feel fully explored. Some emotional moments could have been stronger if the movie slowed down and gave more depth to the characters and their relationships.
The story itself had potential, but it felt rushed, making several important parts feel underdeveloped. Overall, it’s entertaining and has a solid concept, but it could have been much better with slower pacing and more emotional depth.

Horror Finally Feels Dangerous Again
Colony.7 minutes of applause at Cannes?
Should’ve been 20.
The movie borrows DNA from:
Resident Evil,
Aliens,
Train to Busan,
World War Z,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
and even The Great Wall…
yet somehow it never feels like a cheap copy.
It feels like a love letter to biological horror.
The infected operate as a hive mind.
They don’t feed.
They don’t think individually.
They coordinate, adapt, and slowly transform the entire building into a living organism.
The walls look like xenomorph nests.
The corridors feel like The Hive from Resident Evil.
And the true protagonist isn’t Ji Chang-wook…
it’s the infection itself.
What makes the film work so well is that the real horror isn’t only the monsters.
It’s watching humans stop protecting each other.
Cowardice.
Betrayal.
Revenge.
Obsession.
While the colony remains united…
the humans destroy themselves.
And yes, the film absolutely carries videogame DNA:
Resident Evil,
Aliens,
Left 4 Dead,
The Last of Us…
but it never abuses those influences.
It uses that visual language to create tension, not to show off references.
And the ending…
those absolute bastards.
Just when you think everything is over,
the movie leaves you with the most terrifying possibility of all:
what if the hive no longer needs a leader?
This is how intelligent entertainment is done.
