STUDIOCANAL have today announced that COLONY, the latest zombie-horror from the pioneering Korean director Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, Peninsula) will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 28 August 2026.
This follows the announcement that COLONY will screen at the 27th edition of Fright Fest, the UK’s number horror and fantasy film festival. The 2026 programme also includes retrospective screenings of the directors’ previous films SEOUL STATION and the cult classic sensation TRAIN TO BUSAN which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
In downtown Seoul, a professor attends a biotech conference only to witness it spiral into catastrophe when a rapidly mutating virus is unleashed. As the outbreak spreads and the infected begin to transform, authorities seal off the entire facility and the survivors, barricaded inside the building, must contend with the mounting and unpredictable threat.
The film stars Gianna Jun (My Sassy Girl, Assassination) Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula, Escape), Ji Chang-wook (The Manipulated, The Worst of Evil), Shin Hyun-been (The Ugly, He’s on Duty), Kim Shin-rock (Hellbound, Burning), and Go Soo (Missing: The Other Side, The Fortress) and is produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate in association with Midnight Studio.
COLONY received its World Premiere at the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival and will be released in cinemas across the UK & Ireland on 28 August 2026.
