The film surprised me somewhat positively. The story builds up well to its climax. As a viewer you are constantly fascinated by how the main actress gradually deteriorates. And that decline is depicted phenomenally. The mysterious atmosphere surrounding the story also makes it all the more fascinating. What does she actually have? Who is that stranger?

The gore may not be there that much, but certain scenes still work effectively.

Big compliment to the main actress Najarra Townsend who gives the film added value. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast is much inferior. Little surprise 7/10

Sex Kills

Moral of the story: always use a condom! You never know who (or what) your bed partner has had sex with. I think that showing a title like this in secondary schools is a hundred times more effective than any information campaign. That he is a bit extreme is beside the point

Personally, I think this title is quite original, because there aren't many films that use this premise. It happens to enough people that they have sex with someone in a drunken mood and forget to use a condom (or simply neglect to use one) but what happens when you wake up like this lady? Then you have a problem...

The changes that the woman goes through become more and more serious and as a viewer you start to feel more and more uncomfortable about this. However, I didn't know that this was ultimately a zombie movie, so when she finally changed into this at the end I was a bit disappointed. The film would have been more effective and original if, for example, she had died of venereal disease because she would literally rot away. Because this also happened to her brain, this also explained the uncontrollability of her actions and the killing of several people. This ending felt a bit easy, and especially very tired.

Nevertheless, I still think Contracted is a reasonable title as a whole. Well, the acting could have been better, and it would also have been interesting if we had gotten an explanation as to why the perpetrator could just keep walking around without getting sick but if you don't look too critically at this kind of thing, you are left with a nice film that can be quite gruesome at times.

3.0*

What a typical B-movie that is boring from minute one and the acting doesn't deserve an Oscar, it remains difficult to make a decent horror...
