Filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho’s masterpiece Train to Busan is back in theaters today for its 10th anniversary, with his latest zombie film, Colony, set to arrive later this month.
Our exclusive clip highlights what makes these zombies different from his previous works.
Colony bites into 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.
The clip below sees humans trapped within department stores, surrounded by the infected. Survival quickly becomes more precarious as the virus mutates, triggering a more dangerous evolution.
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).
Ji Chang-wook (“Healer”) and Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) also star.
The viral outbreak horror movie is rated ‘R’ for “bloody violent content and some language.”
“I made Colony with the hope that, amid this horror, the audience might finish the film with the question, ‘What is it that makes humans human?’ lingering in a corner of their mind,” Yeon Sang-ho said in his director’s statement.
Check out the clip below and get ready for a gorier, goo-covered zombie horde.
