7 Very Different Modern Zombie Films That You Probably Haven't Seen

2. Colin (2008)

colinWhat is so different about it?Colin, like 1993's Return of the Living Dead 3, is filmed from the perspective of a zombie - in this case, the titular character Colin. The major difference between the two is that Return of the Living Dead 3 had a $2m budget, while Colin's budget was said to be a mere £45. Filmed on a camcorder, Colin follows the titular character after he is bitten by his flatmate Damien during a zombie epidemic, and sees him transform and wander the streets. The film is quite unique in the sense that, at times, you actually feel very sorry for zombie Colin - such as when he is mugged for his trainers and when a makeshift grenade destroys most of his face. The film was positively received at numerous festivals prior to its release - particularly in relation to its budget - but has since been slated by harsh critics and holds a mediocre 46% rating on RottenTomatoes.com. Why have you probably never seen it? Obviously, with such a tiny budget, there wasn't exactly a massive marketing campaign for the movie and, upon its release, it went straight to DVD.
