Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

nickboldrini Like many films in the genre, this has a good idea for a new addition to the genre, but over stretches it with padding. As a short his would have been a good idea - a zombies view of the apocalypse - but it adds too much so the originality is overwhelmed by the sub standard, standard fare.

Thomas Aitken Colin suffers from several major flaws (and no, I'm not talking about the zombie virus that plagues the main character - ba doom boom chish!), and these flaws undo what would have been an otherwise praiseworthy piece of indie film making.I'm not going to critique the cinematography, because at the end of the day this was a low budget indie film, and it wasn't too bad when considered in that light - however there are other problems with Colin that being a low budget indie film is no excuse for.Firstly, it's simply far too long for the story it tells - there's no way it needed to take 1 hour and 37 minutes to tell this story. A lot of extra time is wasted on pointless scenes and events that feel far too long, and don't do anything to advance the plot. I almost turned this film off at the 30 minute mark because it was just starting to feel like a series of totally unrelated, and totally unconnected zombie attack/fight scenes that were merely there to pad out the film and to out-gore Romero.Secondly, large chunks of this film just don't seem to make coherent sense (remember, generally speaking, when it comes to film making, what appears on screen shouldn't require an off-screen explanation). Why were all those people in a house full of zombies? What was up with that serial killer with the basement full of zombies, and why would he let one just walk right past him? Why does Colin attack some people, including his own family, but then walk right past that serial killer guy at the top of the basement? Why does the girl who died in the basement look like the same girl who Colin was bitten by, and whom he killed? Why was all that camera time devoted to the leader of the violent mob at the end of the film, when he had no actual importance to the plot, and was never seen in the film again (such camera attention would normally be the precursor to an important reveal).Thirdly, the acting was terrible in places - and I'm talking here about the people pretending to be zombies, which is hardly something that requires Oscar winning acting talent.A valiant attempt at something original, but unfortunately it was derailed by mistakes that mom and pop home-film makers, rather than indie ones, should be making.

neil-upto11 I enjoyed 'Colin'. I love conventional 'bite and chase' films but I found this ultra-low budget, slow-paced effort intriguing and moving. I don't want to get too analytical but I thought 'Colin' was pretty bold to allude to such heavyweight social issues as family disintegration, urban decay, violent crime and despair. Now this doesn't exactly leave a lot of room for laughs but 'Colin' still managed to inject a sliver of humour in there as well.All in all, a thoughtful production. The sad reality is that it would almost certainly never be green-lighted as a major film because of its pace and tone so I suppose the lesson is: enjoy these little gems - in all their rough-edged glory - whenever they shuffle along and grab you.

Jackson Booth-Millard I literally heard about this film on the entertainment news, I heard this home-made camcorder horror film was considered so good and professional, that they made it a cinema release. Basically Londoner Colin (Alastair Kirton) just about escapes the zombie devastation outside getting into his house, but he has the misfortune of one being in his house. He manages to kill it, but not before it managed to bite his neck, although he initially already had a zombie bite on his arm this speeds up the process of becoming a zombie himself. The next thing you know Colin is a full flesh eating undead creature, and the rest of the film follows him in his journey to find a human victim. He goes through houses and towns among the many other hundred recently dead returning to life people wreaking havoc. There is a point when those who know Colin best, including sister Linda (Daisy Aitkens) and her friend Marlen (Tat Whalley) try to make him remember his previous self, but of course ti doesn't work. Soon enough, a gang of heavy types with weapons of all kinds seem to have bludgeoned Colin to death, and used a little dynamite to blow some of his face off. But of course he still "lives" and in his still undead state he returns to his house and falls to the floor, where his former life before becoming a zombie flashes back to him. These flashbacks reveal that Colin and his girlfriend Laura (Leanne Pammen) were holding up in the house from the situation, and she managed to tie up one of the creatures for safety. Of course a false move allows the zombie to escape, and when Laura is bitten and became a zombie, Colin had no choice but to kill her, and of course she was the one who bit his arm, this is the conclusion. Also starring Kate Alderman as False Laura, Kerry Owen as Colin's Mother, Leigh Crocombe as Damien and Justin Mitchell-Davey as Slingshot Guy. The usual zombie film would obviously look from the perspective of some survivors, but this is actually quite a clever idea to see from the flesh eaters point of view, makes it different. It is quite astonishing that this home made film from debuting director Marc Price only had £45 budget, achieved by free extras, home made special effects and saved make-up, but it looks actually very professional, and it's fun viewing. Good!
