Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

colinthemagpie I don't believe this production cost a total of £40 to produce, while it does feel like the film did cost nothing to make what about the electricity costs in the edit process alone?Atrocious film to be frank, very unwatchable by the absurdly shakey hand held camera approach, needless jerky for no reason.Got to a point where I could not stomach any more, the terrible acting and camera on a spring brought me to my knees!1/10 please don't make any more zombie films.

Tom Kiernan The one thing which makes me not appreciate the scathing reviews of Colin is that with films which are made with such a uniquely low budget and mainly cast of people who aren't even obscure actors, it is key to try and review this film with some relativity to the fact it does not measure up in production values and acting talent.With that considered, Colin has several plus points which conventional and modern films will always lack. For example, the low quality camera-work and special effects (i.e. blood) is effective because the entire film is marketed in such a manner. It isn't a blip on an otherwise high-budget film, and has to be appreciated as a low-budget make. If only as a cheesily realistic look, the effects actually serve to make the film better. The second thing I really enjoyed was the unique outlook on a zombie flick from the perspective of a lone zombie without actually changing the traditional features of the modern zombie in horror films. Colin is still virtually mindless, unable to communicate and wants to eat people. We get to see the same zombie on his own travels whilst the world around him crumbles, and its a nice change from the lack of importance of zombies in the like of 28 Days Later.Finally, the story itself was very interesting despite the lack of great dialogue. The story basically demonstrates the change from Colin's death to his undead status and life as a zombie, with a nice twist and a flashback at the end which changed my perception of the zombified Colin . It doesn't contain in-depth plot changes or massive swerves, but with the films basic story and lack of obvious building blocks; the tale remains unpredictable throughout and relatively gripping.But of course, the obvious downside is the lack of dialogue. Even the non-zombified characters barely speak and parts of this could be vastly improved by a simple bit of conversation which alludes to or at least hints at the vague resemblance of a sub-plot.Instead, we have what turns into more of a diction-less documentary of someone who doesn't really do that much when its all said and done. As I will concede also, the low budget cannot be an absolute defence to the shoddy camera-work and poor acting/lighting at times. The acting and fight scenes are sometimes heavily drawn out and don't help people who really try to enjoy the simplicity of the film. It has been reported that even the director himself was not happy with some key parts of the film. My point is merely that some critics have over-criticised this aspect without contextualizing it or appear to have ignored how it was marketed to the public.In short, this film was never destined to be a golden bloke/movie award winning piece and lives up to its low budget status. Definitely to be regarded as a marmite style cult horror/thriller which will either intrigue you or bore you to tears.

kittenkongshow After twenty minutes i had a headache from the Shaky Cam and couldn't watch much more, Sadly while i admire the fact that this got out there being a very low budget film, i cant help thinking that I know people who have been making much better films than this for there own enjoyment for years...Mr. H you know which i mean! I don't know if it gets better as after 28 minutes I thought Bugger this for a lark and switched it off.Give me Bub (from Day of the Dead, Romero, 1985) over Colin any day!.It leaves me asking how did it get a release let alone the good reviews posted on here.As with all my reviews it is my opinion so if your interested try it just don't come to me asking for a refund!

Paul Andrews Colin is set in London where a mysterious virus has been been bringing the dead back to life as flesh eating zombies, the city is in disarray & panic. Colin (Alastair Kirton) is an ordinary bloke, unfortunately Colin's been bitten by a zombie & thus is infected. Poor old Colin is doomed to die & then come back as a mindless flesh eating zombie. Colin has to adjust to being a zombie & deal with all those nasty humans who try to kill him, this is his story...This English production was shot, edited, written, produced & directed by Marc Price & I am finding all the positive comments absolutely baffling as Colin is surely one of the inept & tedious films ever made. For a start lets a get a couple of things straight, Colin is not the first film to be told from a zombie's point of view neither it is the first film to try & create sympathy for it's flesh eating undead despite what some may say. Where to start? To be fair the concept of a zombie film told from a zombie's perspective is cool but with such a low budget & very little talent on show the concept was doomed to die as we get endless scenes of Colin stumbling about doing nothing in particular. Occasionally Colin meets some humans who are being attacked by other zombies or are themselves attacking zombies, we never meet anyone or learn anything about anyone or the situation they find themselves in. Colin doesn't seem to take sides, neither the zombies or the people are seen as heroes or villains either way. Nobody says a sentence for like half an hour into the film, Colin doesn't speak until the very end in which he has a flashback revealing what happened at the start which should have been at the start rather than the end as it might have made us relate to Colin a bit more or emphasise with his transformation from ordinary bloke to mindless zombie. With zero character development or any sort of plot other than Colin wandering around the odd London street it's hard to see why Colin is getting so much praise. It's not a study of society in a crisis situation as we never see the wider society, only a few random people & the subplot about Colin's sister taking him home goes nowhere & like everything else here feels like padding. At over an hour & a half long Colin surely is one of the most uneventful & dullest films ever released, no character's & no plot basically add up to one long bore where the initial intriguing premise becomes old after about two minutes.Right, rumour has it that Colin cost £45 to make (about $72) & all I have to say is where did all the money go? Obviously shot in people's houses & without permission on a council estate somewhere (central London is never seen) on a crappy hand-held camcorder (I think my Samsung Wave mobile phone HD camera can record clearer & sharper video than seen in Colin) Colin looks awful in every aspect. From the terrible lighting to the annoying shaky camcorder crap, whenever anything happens on screen it seems like it was shot by someone have a seizure or epileptic fit since the jerkiness is truly hideous & serves no artistic or practical function. There are scenes that are so badly lit, so dark & so shaky that it's literally impossible to tell what's happening, that cannot be right & Colin is just one long eyesore. The make-up effects are poor, there's some fake blood splashed around & some bits of meat probably brought from a local butcher for the zombies to chew on but there's no proper special effects here.Probably edited on a PC or in camera Colin really is nothing more than a home movie, & a bad one too. Colin is a mindless zombie so the guy playing didn't have too much to do, the odd person that pops up are pretty terrible.Colin is a film that I hated, I thought it was an ugly eyesore of a film that bored me to senseless & wasted a potentially decent idea. Maybe with an actual budget & actual filmmakers at the helm the concept may one day be turned into something good. Despite all the glowing praise I struggle to find one aspect of Colin that I liked.
