If Colony hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: dread, then unease

Common ground: zombie
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Colony does

Kinetic where it counts, cerebral underneath
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases
The difference: Easier on the momentum than Colony

One thread runs through both: zombie
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Colony does

Action built on unease, twice over

Both lean on momentum more than on science fiction

Cerebral horror in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Dread-soaked action, and it commits to that

Unsettling science fiction, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Colony does

The same hand behind both of them: Yeon Sang-ho

Both are built on the same subject: horrified
