Yeon Sang-ho is heading back into zombie territory with the new film Colony, and a new trailer just released.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the director behind Train to Busan. And while Colony isn’t a sequel, the timing lines up in an interesting way. Train to Busan is also coming back to theaters in 4K for its 10th anniversary.

So yeah, it’s a good time to be a zombie fan.

The setup is pretty straightforward, but it works.

Colony takes place during a biotech conference where something goes wrong fast. A virus breaks out inside the facility, and instead of letting it spread, authorities lock the entire place down. Which means everyone inside is stuck.

From the trailer, most of the story looks like it stays inside that space. You’ve got people trying to figure out what’s happening while things get worse around them. There’s panic, confusion, and that feeling that nobody really knows how bad it’s about to get.

The infected also don’t seem completely predictable. There are hints that whatever this virus is, it might be changing as it spreads. The trailer doesn’t spell it out, but it’s enough to raise some questions. And honestly, that’s probably the point.

‘Train to Busan‘ Is Coming Back to Theaters

At the same time, Train to Busan is getting a 4K theatrical re-release in the U.S. for its 10th anniversary.

If you’ve never seen it in a theater, this is one of those movies that really benefits from it. The tight spaces, the pacing, the way everything keeps moving, it hits differently on a big screen. And if you’ve already seen it, you probably know why people are excited to go back.

If you want to own the 4K DVD of Train to Busan you can pick that up here.

Bringing Train to Busan back right before Colony comes out feels pretty intentional.

It puts Yeon Sang-ho back in front of audiences and reminds people what kind of stories he tells, without needing a direct connection between the two films.

They’re separate projects, but they definitely sit in the same space.

Yeon Sang-ho Back in Familiar Territory

Yeon Sang-ho has done a mix of projects since Train to Busan, but Colony brings him back to a type of story people already associate with his work. Not in a sequel way, just in tone and setup. It’s another situation where people are thrown into something they don’t understand and have to react in real time.

Between Colony and the return of Train to Busan, there’s a bit of a spotlight back on Yeon Sang-ho and the kind of zombie stories he tells. One is something familiar coming back to theaters. The other is a new story that’s just getting started. We’ll see how much more gets revealed soon, but for now, the trailer at least gives a solid idea of what kind of ride Colony is setting up.

Dark Atlantic Studios is proud to unveil the first official trailer for Strawstalker, the chilling new horror feature from writer/director George Henry Horton. This campy and unsettling addition to the found footage genre explores the dark side of ambition, identity, and the illusion of perfection in Los Angeles. Strawstalker is set to be released by Indie Rights later this spring.

Blending satire with supernatural horror, Strawstalker follows Henry and Haley, a fame-hungry content creator couple who relocate to Oak Bridge, a seemingly idyllic Los Angeles neighborhood marketed as the safest place to live. Eager to document every curated moment of their new life, the couple soon discovers that Oak Bridge is not interested in playing along.

When a mysterious and theatrical scarecrow appears behind their backyard hedge, Henry dismisses it as a viral prank—another opportunity for attention. Haley, the more grounded of the pair, continues filming as events take a disturbing turn. As the footage begins to shift and reality fractures, a local warns them: the creature hunts those who are not what they seem.

In Oak Bridge, perfection is a performance, silence is deliberate, and the land remembers.

Reflecting on the film’s origins, Horton shared:

“I’ve always been fascinated by Los Angeles, especially the San Fernando Valley. Not that long ago, it was all farmland. Now it’s this strange mix of suburbia, aspiration, and performance. You can’t help but wonder what the land remembers… and what it might say about us now. Out of those ideas—and with a bit of tongue-in-cheek eye-rolling at how performative life in LA can be—Strawstalker was born. We set it in our own imagined neighborhood, Oak Bridge—a place that feels just real enough, but slightly off, like something isn’t quite telling the truth.”

With its eerie atmosphere, sharp social commentary, and found footage tension, Strawstalker promises a haunting experience where the camera never stops rolling—and neither does the nightmare.

We just did a whole article on the “super lice” infestation going around the country, and now we get a horror movie where itching and scratching are the killers. The movie Itch! is dropping on VOD soon, and we thought we’d share the trailer with you in case it wasn’t on your radar.

It’s about an outbreak that, as noted before, makes people scratch themselves to death. It follows complete strangers as they take refuge in a department store. The panic spreads faster than the infection. Itch! comes to VOD on April 21.

This feature is Kang’s horror debut, and he not only writes, directs, and produces, he also takes the lead as Jay, a widower grappling with grief and despair. The film also stars Patrick Michael Valley, Ximena Uribe, Mia Ventura Lucas and Douglas Stirling.

Full Synopsis:

In this gripping tale of survival, a horrific outbreak known as the ITCH! spreads like wildfire, turning its victims into frenzied, self-destructive shells of their former selves. Jay, a widower grappling with grief and desperation, seeks refuge in a seemingly safe department store alongside his estranged young daughter, Olivia.

However, the sanctuary they believed would protect them becomes a nightmarish trap, revealing that the true danger lurks among them. With the infection closing in and paranoia escalating within the group, Jay and Olivia are forced into a harrowing battle-not just against the outbreak outside, but against the darkness within human hearts when faced with survival.

With every decision bearing the weight of life and death, they must confront their fractured bond and make brutal choices to stay alive, leading to an unimaginable climax that will leave you questioning what it truly means to protect those we love.
