At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Colin is a 2008 British zombie film written and directed by Marc Price. Colin is the first feature film to be told entirely from a zombie's perspective from the outset, the main character Colin changes in the first few minutes of the film. Bloody, gory with a hard hitting perspective on the zombie genre. A must watch!

This is one of those rare films which I believe every serious zombie enthusiast needs to see. Now, that is not to say that every zombie fan will necessarily like it. But what it offers is a unique look at life (for want of a better word) from the zombie's point-of-view. On that note, I found it to be original, artistic and very well thought out. For those reasons I certainly understand some of the positive comments from other reviewers. That said however, I also understand some of the negative comments too. Obviously being a low-budget production it suffers accordingly. None of the actors or actresses were known to me and other than Daisy Aitkens (as Colin's sister, "Linda") none of them had any dialogue worth mentioning anyway. Even so, I thought the lead actor, Alastair Kirton ("Colin") performed in an excellent manner all the same. Unfortunately, the camera work was quite often shaky, in some cases the lighting was bad and other than Colin there really wasn't much character development. Additionally, some of the scenes were extremely slow and dragged on way too long while others could have been cut with little (if any) noticeable effect on the final product. Along with that, some of the special effects (i.e. gore) should have either been improved upon or eliminated all together. In short, this was a zombie film that definitely needed to be made. And while I seriously doubt the production costs listed in IMDb (of $70) are true, I will say that if it had even one-tenth of the money allocated to "World War Z" it could have been one of the best zombie films ever made. Sadly, this was not the case and while I believe the director (Marc Price) has every reason to be proud of his efforts, I still have to factor in some of the negative variables I mentioned earlier in my overall rating. Having said that, although I believe this film has a definite place in the zombie legacy, I rate it as slightly below average.

After being subjected to a zombie bite and becoming infected with the infection, a man joins the ravenous crowds of zombies swarming London joining in their activities before finding family members who try to turn him back to his normal self before he can engage his normal zombie behavior on them.This might end up being the most boring zombie film ever, despite the fact that the film starts off immediately with a zombie attack and keeps them on-screen for the duration of the movie. This is due to the film's incredibly hair-brained decision to make the film from the zombie's point-of-view, making it nearly wordless and free of dialog for the majority of the film. While that does make for a lot of great attack scenes that provide plenty of gore here as we see the swarms rip people apart and so on, it deteriorates into a series of him stumbling around before meeting someone else and it gets old fast. Then it gets to the parts at the house where they try to rehabilitate him, and the sentimentality on display totally erodes any semblance of horror it could've had, and it's just an extremely tiresome affair without sustaining any interest whatsoever. A mostly useless zombie movie overall.Rated R: Graphic Violence and some language.

This film finds a somewhat different slant on a theme that's been done to death. Zombie movies have been done as classic horror, campy fun, and action adventure, and this doesn't fall into any of those categories. Remember those after school specials about the dangers of drinking, drugs, and sex? Imagine one about the dangers of becoming a zombie and you'll come close to the vibe of this movie.It takes an arguably absurd premise - people turning into zombies - and then explores the consequences in a pretty believable and powerful way. You actually find yourself feeling genuine sympathy for the zombies.A lot of the hype has been about the ridiculously low budget of the film, and it holds up surprisingly well, considering. I enjoyed the movie, but it did drag a bit at times. I think it would have been better as a 30 minute short, but they just didn't have the material to fill a whole movie. There's a quite a bit of just walking about, and one really dark scene that went on for about 20 minutes where I'm still not entirely sure what was happening.Still, all in all, an interesting flick.
