    colin 2008 british film

    Feels weird posting this in the foreign films section even though I am myself british...

    Any way did anyone see this movie? I bought it on dvd about a year ago and have watched it a couple of times, Its a low budget Zombie movie that follows a single zombie called colin from his infection and tells you the story of how he bacame infected and what it feels to be a zombie... I myself loved this film because its a new angle for the zombie genre. I do however think its a niche market but if your a zombie fan its worth a watch i'll rate this as 7/10... Nothing exciting but it gets its point across quite well IMO.

    This a quote from the original review:

    As you can probably tell, Colin isn’t just some ham-fisted attempt to remake Dawn Of The Dead on a budget (and believe me, I’ve seen a few of them) – it’s an intelligent, troubling and moving film which genuinely takes the genre and shoves it on a bit.

    I remember a thread about this when I first joined. Sounded quite good and quite a few people here seemed to like it. I should check it out considering I love Zombie flicks.

    Yah - it was my thread.

    Scarily enough, I watched this last night on my Xbox. It's *not* aged well....and I still dont believe it was made for $45

    It would have cost more to replace the window damaged in the falling scene. Couldnt find another thread so I started one. But yeah £45 is a stretch I would have said under a grand though

    Now I remember Think the whole movies costs less then a good bottle of booze is a load of horse shit garnered towards getting people to take a look.

    Bingo.

    And, it worked - only not as much as they hoped....

    hahahaha. I understand you, but it is still funny.


    I once heard that this movie was very bad, can anyone confirm this?

    I expected more. That being said it wasn't the worst zombie flick out there but me being a huge fan of this sub genre my opinion may be a little biased. I found it boring for the most part and Colin wasn't very threatening but it does have a unique perspective being that most of this flick is seen from Colin the zombie's eyes so to speak. Don't wanna give any of it away but I'll say it's worth a watch at least once. I can see people who aren't big on zombie flix turning their backs on Colin.
    I really don't have any desire to revisit this one...at least not yet.

    Knowing it was made for really cheap, you can't help but acknowledge the ambition of the filmmakers. That said, it didn't look all that original, so I've yet to check it out.
