The next horror movie from South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, “Parasyte: The Grey,” The Ugly) is infection nightmare Colony, and Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Well Go USA Entertainment has picked up the film for U.S. release.
Yeon Sang-ho’s Colony will make its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival in May, ahead of Well Go’s theatrical release in the United States 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 (“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.
Colony is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate.
