During a rough period in her life, beautiful Samantha reluctantly decides to attend her best friend's party, and even though she still struggles with a previous addiction, she unwisely accepts a drink from a complete stranger. As a result, shortly after, hapless Samantha considerably inebriated, she will end up raped in the backseat of the malicious predator's car, however, from that point on, the terrible incident will be the least of her problems. Straight away and rather inexplicably, poor Samantha will begin noticing rapid and drastic organic changes in her body, and being unable to pinpoint the origin of the dramatic transformation, within the next 72 hours, she will embrace her gruesome and pitiless fate as well as the certainty that she is falling apart. Literally.
Leave your thoughts about Contracted.
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonA thoughtful and wonderfully cringe-inducing body horror story, Contracted is an often frightening and nasty exploration of isolation and desperation that grabs hold from the start and doesn't let up until the film's bitter conclusion. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireBy being the director/writer and co-producer, England the writer didn't have an independent director to say, "Hey, the ending needs to be stronger!" or "What's the movie saying about lesbians having sex with men?" |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiAlthough this horror flick is somewhat absurd and seemingly forgettable when viewed in a vacuum, its coincidentally contemporaneous release with "Blue Is the Warmest Color" urges immediate reconsideration. |
| Dread CentralStaci Layne WilsonContracted goes all-out on the gross-out. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A very adult and straight faced glimpse at an ugly human being rotting from the inside out... |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe movie seems regressively punitive, to the point where it arguably qualifies as slut-shaming. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterThe ending to this fable misses the opportunity for broader metaphorical resonance, but getting there has its own unnerving rewards. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe ick factor is high in Contracted, a body-horror opus that will satisfy genre fans who like to be grossed out, but doesn’t have much to offer on any other count. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoNone of it feels remotely believable but also isn't broadly defined enough to be satire, falling in that dull gap in the middle. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichOur inability to identify with [Townshend] means we can't identify with the film's central horror, and thus "Contracted" isn't all that unsettling. |
