The Colony

About This Movie

So, 'The Colony' is one of those curious TV movies that just oozes 90s drama vibes. The story revolves around this cocky tycoon from Malibu who's in a mad scramble to find these crucial files belonging to a murdered psychotherapist. It’s got that over-the-top melodrama you’d expect, but there's a strange intensity in the pacing that keeps you on your toes. The characters have that classic rich-people angst mixed with a touch of desperation, and the performances lean into the drama quite well. What sets this apart is its tie to the creators of 'Dynasty,' which gives it a certain flair. You can feel the tension in the air, and it’s interesting to see how it all unfolds, even if it didn't quite take off as a series.
