South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, “Human Vapor“) is back this summer with a new outbreak nightmare in Colony, and new key art warns that surviving the infected hive won’t be easy.
Look for the infection horror movie in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The South Korean horror movie follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus.
Colony marks Gianna Jun’s (Blood: The Last Vampire, “My Sassy Girl”) first feature film since 2015’s Assassination. She stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula, Escape from Mogadishu).
“With Colony, [Sang-ho] takes the intensity and scale even further, delivering a bold and terrifying new vision for fans,” teases Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA.
Ji Chang-wook (“Healer”) and Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) also star.
Colony is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate.
The viral outbreak horror movie is rated ‘R’ this week for “bloody violent content and some language.”
