Cast
Critical response
Tony Scott of Variety wrote in his review: "June Lockhart, who knows how to handle the role, cunningly dominates the private school system. There’s no privacy, and there’s a secret attempt by a patrol to search the Ritter family’s house for a vital missing computer disk that the former tenants squirreled away before they were sent over a cliff by Teague. [...] Tech credits are good. Main trouble with The Colony is that, as a suspenser , it isn’t much fun. Plays like a summer throwaway.
Release
The Colony was released on September 13, 1995, on the USA Network. The film was released on VHS on March 12, 1996, by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
