It also borrows from a lot of other genre films, including its predecessor. Really liked the notion of the colony of infected acting in unison and able to communicate via a sort of biological telepathy (takes some buying into, but nicely done) but am calling bollocks on the last second "boo!" twist.

Just seen Yeon Sang-ho's biological zombie-esque COLONY. It does sit somewhat in the shadow of the director's brilliant TRAIN TO BUSAN – it's internal logic is weaker, it's never as startling or as tense, but it's still good fun, quite exciting at times and scratches a genre itch.
