Directed by Marc Price, it is surprising to know that the movie “Colin” was directed with a budget as low as forty pounds. The English film “Colin” is about a man named Colin (starring Alastair Kirton) who was bitten by a zombie and died. Later, Colin returns back to life from the dead. People were expecting to see just another low budget zombie movie that is not interesting, however they were absolutely shocked at its first premiere in Japan when they saw its exquisiteness. Although the lighting in dark and night times was not very good due to the low budget, people were still able to understand the movie just as fine. The sounds and music, on the other hand, were absolutely spectacular and high quality.
The main thing that lures the people into watching the movie Colin is its story; the story and the concept are just so strong! The plot of Colin is in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, the movie does not waste much time on explaining how this happened, like many other movies do by spending most of the movie just talking about the incident and how it happened instead of the main event. “Colin” simply focuses on one zombie and follows his journey from death to life again. While many other movies depict zombies as faceless and monstrous creatures, “Colin” chooses one zombie with a face half-eaten and makes him feel so real as if that could really happen.
At many points during the movie, the viewers actually felt sympathy for Colin, the main character, as he wanders across London, dazzled, bewildered, confused, and does not know what to do. Some human survivors cross his path during the journey and offer snapshots of other untold stories. Colin even comes across a man who is being eaten to death by some other zombies; it is impossible to figure out how Marc Price, the director of the movie, could afford making such advanced visual and special effect with a very, very low budget! The movie contains many different points of views that could be summed up and arranged like a jigsaw puzzle to reveal a bigger chaos than the one Colin is living in.
Colin is the perfect movie for zombie movie lovers because it really provides an insight to what the life of a typical zombie might be like. The movie Colin should be available for people everywhere and should be viewed by a larger audience; Marc Price must be a really clever man to be able to produce such a great movie with forty pounds. This movie was nominated for a Raindance Award.
