The Colony 2013

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: Becomes yet another run-from-the-ghouls exercise, cheapening decent work by a good cast. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: A screaming, lunging, chomping chase movie that has nothing new to bring to a genre that just won't die. Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: A zombie by any other name is still a zombie in this utterly routine horror pic. Read more

Tom Long, Detroit News: It's somewhat low-rent and thoroughly humorless - hey, the future's not funny - and, in the manner of the genre, adamantly bleak. Read more

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter: Survival tale in the next ice age is dull and derivative. Read more

Inkoo Kang, Los Angeles Times: The film strands its archetypal characters in a featureless danger zone and gives them overly familiar dialogue borrowed from a dozen other B-movies. Read more

Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News: Even those trapped and bored in a bunker, surrounded by frozen waste, would tire of this unoriginal sci-fi/horror hybrid. Read more

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer: Charlotte Sullivan looks really, really cute in blond dreadlocks. But she can't save the movie, nor can her impressive costars, Bill Paxton, Kevin Zegers, and Laurence Fishburne. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: It's reminiscent of the more embarrassing excesses of the tax-shelter movies of 30 years ago. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The Colony is a blue-bin blockbuster, a collection of recycled ideas of sci-fi thrillers past. Read more

Ernest Hardy, Village Voice: It's decently acted, delivers some well-executed jolts, doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence, and is mercifully free of ironic distance. Read more
