The Last Film I Saw: “Colin”

By bmoviehero

Let’s try this again…

COLIN

Went to a preview of this supposed £45 zombie film at the BFI for Halloween. The director, Marc Price, was a really lovely, humble guy and I hope he gets the success he deserves. The film was good, the microbudget shows but the passion and story shine through the short comings. Like the zombie main character the story meanders and slightly outstays its welcome, it is also extremely hard to feel sympathy for a zombie and the film struggles partly to muster any kind of empathy and emotion for its main character. It flits from individual vignettes as the zombie travels the streets, to the overarching story of Colin himself – and the mix can be a little jarring  (when we move to another scene debating the point of the previous). However all this said, it’s a good little movie with some fantastic scenes. Definitely catch it if you get the chance on its limited cinema run.
