Product Description
Already a worldwide phenomenon with huge media coverage, Colin is the £45 zombie movie! Told from the zombie s perspective, it is a film truly like no other! Our hero Colin is bitten by a zombie; he dies and returns from the dead. We follow him as he wanders through suburbia during the throes of a cadaverous apocalypse. Through his encounters with objects, places and people, we learn who Colin was and more pertinently, what he has now become. Including a broad daylight zombie versus human street battle, an epic housebound siege and bags of gore, Colin is the must-see zombie phenomenon of the year! DVD Extras Directory and Cast Commentary

Format:DVD
i really liked this film having watched a lot of zombie films both poor and awsome, and i thought this came in the pretty good area, its shot like the 'blair witch project' which suited the low budgetness of this film, it also has a lot of diffrent stories going on it (not all of them amazing and some of them good ideas but not thought out properly) so its not all about colin the zombie but whats happening around him aswell which for me makes it pretty good and a unique zombie flic.

I seem to have seen a whole glut of shaky-cam zombie flics recently, including Rec, The Zombie Diaries and this one. I reckon Colin just about pips the others though, because of its uniqueness.
Poor Colin. His girlfriend dies in his arms, only to come back to life and bite a chunk out of his arm. The poor lad then walks the streets , trying to stay warm, get some food inside him (even if it's only someone's ear) and somehow to cope with a world that no longer makes any sense. Some brutal nutters fire slingshots at him, throw explosives at him, try to mug him for his Addidas trainers, hit him in the head with a hammer and even incarcerate him with his dead little sis. Being dead is no life!
But what a clever movie! The Zombie Diaries flirted briefly with the scenario of sympathy for Mr. Zombie, but Colin takes it orders of magnitude further. Sure it's not perfect, some of the action takes place in ridiculously dark surroundings and the special effects are less than special most of the time (the guy snapped in half as zombies drag him through a window being particularly poor), but the premise is just so clever that it makes for an absolutely unmissable movie. Do you remember seeing Starship Troopers, when Earth is being threatened by alien bugs - and yet you can't help feeling sorry for the bugs? Well Colin does the same thing, fighting the corner of the zombies and shows that British inventiveness is still very much (dead)alive in the horror movie world.
This is a very important horror movie that just may launch a whole new sub-genre. Horror buffs MUST add Colin to their collection!

I am really baffled by the amount of people who don't appreciate this film; I guess they may have some qualities in common with zombies, e.g. low I.Q. I am a creative type/artist, you get the picture, and this film is MARVELLOUS!!!!! Beautiful visuals, music, sound design, and narrative circle. Surprisingly dark in places, earns it's 18 rating with panache. Most emotional zombie movie ever? Possibly even as good as Fido!!!!! GENIUS!!!!!!!

Poor
If only they could have stretched the budget to fifty quid and bought some light bulbs.
A tedious, depressing, unwatchable mess.

A true Zombie horror... in that it's just plain awful to watch.
To call it low budget would be an insult to low budget films - it felt more like no budget, with gun shots in the back ground that were clearly just someone letting off fire works... Read more

Admirable but unwatchable
A film like this doesn't deserve all the one star reviews here but neither does it merit the five star raves. Read more
