The movie and its ghouls will be everywhere this summer.

Well Go USA brings COLONY, the new chiller from director Yeon Sang-ho (TRAIN TO BUSAN), exclusively to theaters August 28. Prior to that, it will play the New York Asian Film Festival on Friday, July 10 (with Yeon and star Gianna Jun in person) and Wednesday, July 15. Scripted by Yeon and Choi Gyu-seok, it also stars Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rock and Go Soo. The synopsis: “Professor Se-jeong [Jun] is thrust into a bloody nightmare when a rapidly mutating virus is released during a biotech conference causing authorities to seal the facility. Trapped inside with no escape, Se-jeong along with a small group of survivors must fight to stay alive while the infected undergo horrific transformations.”
