The Colony

In a future ravaged by an encroaching ice age, a beleaguered colony of survivors huddles beneath the earth's surface, their meagre existence threatened not only by the unforgiving cold but by a more insidious peril: their own barbaric impulses. Director Jonathan Mostow's The Colony (2013) is a tense, claustrophobic survival tale that eschews the grandeur of epic disaster movies for a grittier, more intimate examination of human nature under duress.
