Wow! Such a good movie.
What makes it different from others?
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
There seem to be a zillion flicks that come out of nowhere. They show up on youtube etc. All the actors and actresses look under 20 and you get the feeling they paid the production company to be in the movie. 95% of these things are hopelessly derivative and uninspired...they just crawl along.This one though....a horror movie...has a few fresh twists despite it's reliance on the zombie/contagion genre. It's good for what it doesn't do. It has pro editing.....it moves right along. We don't have mediocre photographers forcing us to spend 2 minutes looking at a tree cause they think it's a well set up shot. It's sense of horror derives from-primal fears we all have to some degree in this paranoid age where everyone assumes 3veryone else is a virus...It never gets artsy or pretentious...just serves itself up for what it is....namely, an effective low budget horror flick with terse effective plotting.nicely done
My opinion---Contracted: Phase II is a film by Josh Forbes was able to realize a sequel fairly close to the first part, after being infected the film will follow its evolution for the next six days, with a rather simple scenario, actors who will do their best To make plausible their interpretations that I found good enough, on the other hand I found the effects of makeup very well done and one follows well the evolution of the virus, this film is not especially explosive and follows on A rather slow pace, but still lets himself watch. Note that there are several scenes that are downright disgusting as the infection wins the young man, so I say good appetite. In conclusion, I put the same note as for the first part of this story, evening: 6/10.
The transformation happens through several stages over a few day so you feel for the slow suffering of the infected person and wonder what's going to happen to them next and if they are going to survive the race against time. Betterthan most zombie movies for this reason.You need to write at least 10 lines here so let me see...The first film was kept the suspense up as you didn't know what was coming.This film didn't have the same amount of suspense or shock appeal but the unfolding plot and extra gore makes up for it.
After reviewing the first Contracted thoroughly as I believed it was harshly crisicsed the Phase 2 disappointed me greatly...I was expecting some of the unanswered questions to be answered like who was bj? what actually is the disease? but only vaguely mentioned At the first the movie picks up where we left off Samantha and the police stand off.This time the movie is based around Riley, the guy from the first film who was infatuated by lesbian Samantha who he eventually slept with and contracted the sti.We see how Riley is desperate to find a cure and find the mysterious Bj. In actual fact BJ has been stalking him. Riley lives at home with his gran and his heavily pregnant sister.Riley has a new love interest in the for of Harper but little does she know of the truth Bj we come to realise has the cure but has his own agenda and wants to spread this zombie disease.Throughout the film it shows that even just by kissing it can be spread.The police led by Crystal Young try to control the outbreak but even the cops cannot control the vile disease Gore levels are risen, there is more emphasis on the zombie transformation, more detail on what the disease does. But unfortunately as the gore gets better the actual plot disintegrates into more of a fully pledged zombie meeting.
