Set during the next ice age, an outpost of colonists struggle to survive below the world's frozen surface. Short on supplies, and plagued by illness and internal conflict, the colonists suspect the worst when they mysteriously lose contact with their only other known settlement, Colony 5. When Colony 7's leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) decides to lead an expedition to discover what happened, he is challenged by Mason (Bill Paxton), his former comrade-in-arms, who has his own ideas of what is best for the colonists. Briggs takes two volunteers on the mission, the young Graydon, and Sam (Kevin Zegers), a strong-willed mechanic who seizes the opportunity to confront the icy wasteland that orphaned him. When they reach their destination, the team discover a threat much worse than nature and must battle to save themselves and protect their fellow colonists in what might be humanity's last stand. (official distributor synopsis)

I haven’t seen such awfully ugly exteriors in a long time. Sure, it’s a cheap Canadian B-movie and there was no money for spectacle, but The Colony is sometimes so ugly to look at that it’s annoying. In any case, if we ignore the ugly visuals, the only thing left is a generic horror movie full of clichés with nothing interesting. It starts boring, ends as an average watchable snack.
