4.0 out of 5 stars The Colony - Be Careful What You Wish For..., March 25, 2002
By Kwai Chang Finkleberger (West Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
A family finds the planned community it moves too is too planned, run by a C.E.O. with "plans" of his own!!!

Despite the predictable plot (and outcome), the movies raises some interesting points.

How much freedom would you sacrifice in the name of security?

Would you live in a place, say, where you would be expected to dress a certain way? Where you would have no say in what your children were taught? Where everything you have is owned by the community?

It makes for good discussions.

4.0 out of 5 stars A neighborhood to die for!, June 23, 2001
By Glenn M. Schoditsch (Richmond, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
While sorting thru up a box of videos I came across this gem of a "made for TV" movie. It stars John Ritter and Mary Page Keller (of Duet on FOX) as a family with kids that are seeking the perfect neighborhood. After they move to their "perfect" neighborhood they find it is anything but paradise. Hal "Barney Miller" Linden plays the heavy in this one. This a great flick; highly suspenseful with a pretty neat finale. I think Hitch would have liked this one. It really needs to be on DVD.

NEW UPDATE! 21.Sept.07

As pointed out below, if you subcribe to Comcast Digital Cable, "The Colony" is showing thru the month of November, 2007 on their "ON DEMAND feature" under the Free Movies tab. If you are fortunate to have this option, now is the time to see this movie without commercials or embedded logos. Maybe this will stir interest in a DVD release with its Orignal Aspect Ratio of 1.66:1.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked 1988's PULSE, you'll love this, January 21, 2006
It's about a family who moves it to the perfect neighborhood, what they thought was perfect anyway, only to find out how deadly it would be for anyone who tried to break a rule. It's a great suspenseful thriller starring the late, great John Ritter. My only wish is that it would be released on DVD.
