The Colony (SLIGHT SPOILERS) -
Someone here reviewed this movie. I don't think they liked it that much. I didn't think it was a horrible movie. In fact it's setup pretty well. They got strong actors. Laurence Fishburne and Bill Paxton are in it. I like the setting. I'm always looking for good horror movies in a winter setting. It has some nice shots of the various snowed over areas. I think where the movie lacks creativity is in the horror monsters. They aren't really explained and very generic modern horror monsters. Laurence Fishburne's character mentions how he saw people acting like animals or something but never that this is what he saw. A lot of people dislike the movie Doomsday. But that movie did more with the idea of cannibals and people acting crazy. In The Colony it's like they are like that because the movie needs horror monsters. So of course the main bad guy is big, bald, almost unstoppable, and has sharp teeth. Generic. I thought the funniest scene was the bridge scene. If anyone has a classic flip Zippo lighter you know how fast the fluid runs out in those.
