Nice effects though.

good back-story, and good acting

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Admirable film.

Colin is a 2008 British zombie film written and directed by Marc Price. Colin is the first feature film to be told entirely from a zombie's perspective from the outset, the main character Colin changes in the first few minutes of the film. Bloody, gory with a hard hitting perspective on the zombie genre. A must watch!

If you are going to watch this movie don't expect too much. I'm not sure if it's an independent film but if it is they did a very good job. I could see them getting a job really quick (not like Saw or Paranormal Activity). If you are running out of zombie movies to watch (like me, a huge fan) then this one I recommend. In this case we follow the Zombie around. I would say it's on the same level as "Warm Bodies" without the high production value or corniness. This movie is serious and really just shows the day to day actions of what our undead friends see or do (they are zombies I already mentioned not to expect much). I gave it a 6 because for one I didn't dislike it that would give it at least a 5 and and the acting was not poor like the first "Saw" even though there wasn't much living human involvement. It was Just Okay, Made Sense, and he was not treated like the "typical shoot in the head that zombie's dead" (I should get that copy written). I won't tell you what it is but it's not a big surprise.

I occasionally haunt the pound shop because I love the conversations I have there ("How much is that?" "A pound." "And that?" "A pound." "And that?"...) The DVD of zombie movie "Colin" was there. It was a pound. I read the effusive sleeve blurb telling me that "Colin" had cost ninepence (OK, forty quid) to make, and what a wonderful piece of work it was, especially given how little it had cost. I passed.And then it turned up on late night TV. So I thought, "Let's try it out - if it's any good, I might go back to the pound shop and splurge." Ed Wood, he of the infamous Glen Or Glenda, Plan 9 From Outer Space et al, has achieved an affectionate respect among some mainstream filmmakers because of his sheer determination to get his films made with threadbare resources and his success in then getting them out there into the market place and seen by the public. Yes, one accepts that it was a remarkable achievement. But that doesn't mean that his movies weren't hamstrung by both technical ineptitude and an absence of production values.Meet "Colin", the noughties equivalent of Ed Wood. Only, rather than the thousands of dollars Wood's films cost (a small number of thousands, admittedly, but still thousands, and during the 1950s, too), "Colin" cost forty quid.It shows. Filmed on hand-held lo-res video throughout, it's not so much that production values are low, more that there aren't any. It is technically lacking in every respect - script, acting, lighting, pacing, editing - to the extent that it is more or less unwatchable.And I say this as someone who actually watched "Aquanoids" all the way through.I give it one star because I have to, and another for the Ed Wood factor.

I've got to say i'm perplexed by all the negative feedback this film has received, I've just watched it and found it to be an intriguing and understated low budget film. Its angle (from colins perspective) is beautifully and intelligently executed. The confusion, born out by elements such as the normal folk remaining nameless, the very fact that there is very little plot development rings true of the unfocused mind of a zombie. The complete lack of empathy bestowed by the film maker on anyone except Colin is, to me, a fantastically under played tool allowing the viewer to really see the post apocalyptic world from the eyes of a zombie.To folks complaining about the setting, why would the film be made anywhere else than normal "drab" surroundings? this is where the majority of us live! And to counter those of you that found the lingering shots of street signs or just of Colin ambling along, I personally found these moments the most striking, they gave room to breath an contemplate the situation, what sparks they may be triggering in the virus addled zombie mind.Just to counter balance myself, and for the sake of reasoned argument, yes, there are a few moments of hammy acting, such as the youths trying to steal colins shoes, and a few moments of absurdity, fighting of zombie hordes with saucepans... but i must say, the action sequences were the low points of the film for me anyway. The true embryonic genius (yes genius) of the film maker lies in his ability to capture moments of pure poignancy in the simplest of moments, Colins captivation of a brightly lit road sign, relating to the stolen sign in the flat where he was first bitten, a perfect example. If you want big budget and balls out action, go look at Hollywood, if you want a subtle, delicate, occasionally bleakly humorous examination of the soul via the apparently soulless, forgive it its bugbears and try Colin.
