    The Colony", tragically, is one of those movies where it's obvious each of the writers had a different story to tell. Or maybe I'm wrong and some katana wielding, studio suit came in and hacked much of the scripts content into pieces. It is a mess, but why would I consider that to be tragic? Because when it came to visuals, tension and atmosphere, "The Colony" grabbed me by the balls and squeezed until they burst...erm, for some reason, that is considered a good thing. I really liked what this movie did right, which makes its failures that much more devastating.

    “Twilight Zone: The Movie” was a theatrical adaptation of the 1960's show of the same name, designed to be an anthology with four big directors helming each segment, complete with an all star cast. Steven Spielberg (“Jaws”), John Landis (“The Blues Brothers”), George Miller (“Mad Max”) and Joe Dante (“The Howling") were the star directors and the project was intended to be a big deal. Unfortunately, a real life tragedy occurred on the set when star Vic Morrow and two children were killed in a freak helicopter accident. That is all anyone remembers this movie for and probably for good reason. The deaths were due to gross negligence and general stupidity. The casualties loom over the project, ensuring that they are not far from your mind during the viewing of the film.
