122 mins
Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho reignites the zombie genre with this propulsive action film that sees a rapidly mutating virus unleashed. Direct from Cannes Midnight.

Biotech professor Se-jeong (Jun Ji-hyun, The Thieves, Assassination) is attending a conference for intelligence and information exchange when a disgruntled former employee, scientist Suh Young-cheol (Koo Kyo-hwan, D.P.), unleashes a potent virus – with the infected learning collectively and evolving in minutes. In the multi-purpose building – home to a conference centre, restaurants and retail stores – a ragtag group of the uninfected band together and try to stave off the growing horde of zombies. On the outside, politicians and emergency personnel gather, questioning whether the infected should be treated as patients to be cured or monsters to be destroyed. The exhilarating Colony will leave you breathless.
