good back-story, and good acting

A lot of fun.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Its nighttime, and today is Mr. Eric England's Birthday (Feb 23). I celebrated by watching his horror thriller, which is one of the best films made. The movie is about a young woman who finds herself suffering from a strange disease after a one night stand, and it gets weird and a hell of a lot worse. The movie stars Najarra Townsend, horror icon Caroline Williams, Katie Stegeman, and Alice Macdonald. Najarra is fantastic with the expressions of her character, and Caroline is also great playing an overprotective parent. The makeup of Samantha is awesome. What more can I say? This flick is really well done. Check it out if you haven't seen it. You will think twice before having sex after watching this.

CONTRACTED is, to be blunt, a kind of a werewolf story - but there is no wolf, not even a chihuahua. It's a metaphor for the AIDS Generation.See, Samantha is a college-age lesbian who gets drunk at a party and is taken advantage of by a mysterious man. Within 48 hours Samantha is getting really sick - vomiting blood, hearing non-existent loud sounds, severe vaginal bleeding, deathly pallor. A doctor is baffled. One more day and Samantha's eyes are bleary and bloodshot, her fingernails are falling out. A third day and her hair is coming out. She is in a panic.She hears that the police are asking about the man who was at the party but we never know why. She becomes too sick to work (as a waitress) and, on top of everything, she starts losing her grip - she begins to act paranoid. So, instead of becoming furry and growing claws and fangs, Samantha manifests some of the symptoms of the last stages of AIDS - but within less than a week, and become a danger to others. It's an interesting bit of sci-fi and it is done here reasonably well - and on a slim budget without a name cast

So many negative slams on this movie. I liked it and didn't know what was going on until the end. I didn't read the negative fodder until after I watched it and I didn't watch the tracer. I bet that most of the negative reviews are from people watching 5 minutes of it on a pirate channel. I found this film to be one of the better Horror films and the story was great. Najarra did an amazing job in this film. I loved the ending, that's why I gave it 8 stars.

So I am pretty hard to please and after reading reviews and constantly clicking past it, I finally gave "Contracted" a try. I was pleasantly surprised. Without giving too much away, if you liked "It Follows" and find the STD gone rogue theme interesting then definitely watch it. I love a good zombie movie and it definitely left me feeling just the tiniest bit queasy!
