Yeon Sang-ho returns to zombie genre with Zona Cero

Director Yeon Sang-ho, known for ‘Train to Busan’, returns to the zombie genre with his new film ‘Zona Cero’ (also known as ‘Colony’). The film follows a biotechnology conference that descends into chaos when a rapidly mutating virus is released, sealing the facility and triggering an infectious nightmare.

The production introduces a unique concept described as ‘drone zombies’—creatures that can be mentally manipulated by a scientist to target specific objectives. The film blends elements of high-stakes drama with claustrophobic horror, exploring the raw nature of humanity amidst a fast-spreading contagion.
