Moviegoers are saying
Audiences are split but intrigued by this Korean zombie outbreak film. Reviewers praise the undead for adapting in real time, running, and even communicating, which makes them feel more threatening than typical shamblers. The main complaint is that some characters make "dumb decisions" to keep the tension going, and one reviewer felt the horror faded halfway through.

Isiah FrancoJun 1, 2026these zombies communicate better than most couples in movies
eerieMay 24, 2026What makes this stand out is how it treats the zombies. They adapt in real time, they run, they communicate, they think. That alone makes them feel way more threatening than your usual zombies. My only gripe is, there are still a few dumb decisions thrown in just to keep…

07/10 To be honest, I enjoyed it, but I wasn't blown away. Perhaps that’s because I expected more from the same creator behind *Train to Busan*. I feel it lacked the emotional depth of the first film; the characters weren't developed, so you didn't really care about their fate. Still, it’s…
Kajaeki lovedColonyI loved train to busan so I was hyped for this. This is the second movie I’ve seen where they based the zombie infection on fungi, instead of viral. I loved how the unique this take was and made zombies more complex and intelligent. It wasn’t as sad as train to busan because (1)

Liked it very much. Some aspects I loved like the camera work when the “Queen” would control the rest, or some of the fight scenes and the ant comparisons and examples. Hated some of the characters directions, stupid decisions and missed opportunities. Very solid still 7.5/10
Brianna Darby lovedColonyKorean zombie movies are always on a different level than American zombie movies from their zombies to plot it so good Korean zombie movies keep me feed when I’m craving apocalyptic zombie movies this movie has some of the top actors in it my rate 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️
jam jammy jambam is "meh" onColonyCool zombie choreography w/ great physical acting and genuinely menacing hive-mind creatures. Sadly, the conventional plot, dumbass survivors, wasted premise, and godawful sound mixing hold it back. Still, sorta fun, with a cool but unearned ending.

Yeon returns to action-horror with “Colony” an entertaining if empty-headed exercise in familiarity, with a few neat new tricks up its bloodstained, gore-flecked sleeve.

Colony is literal and uncritical in the application of its ideas so that genuine fear is obliterated in exchange for a blasé familiarity. We don’t expect superlative fascist critique at every turn, or a treatise on team-level failure within behemoth institutions, but at least bring emotionality and intimacy with your more clear-eyed pacing.

Flawed and forgettable, Colony fails to build toward anything substantial, resulting in a film filled with swarms of zombie-like denizens lacking any real stylistic or narrative bite.
