2.0/5.0
None of it feels remotely believable but also isn't broadly defined enough to be satire, falling in that dull gap in the middle. Go to Full Review
Andy Webster New York Times Nov 21, 2013
The ending to this fable misses the opportunity for broader metaphorical resonance, but getting there has its own unnerving rewards. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Nov 21, 2013
"Contracted" can best be described as "Contagion" meets "Blue Is the Warmest Color," without all those explicit sex scenes. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
A 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. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Apr 4, 2014
A very adult and straight faced glimpse at an ugly human being rotting from the inside out... Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Contracted is an efficiently icky, gross-out exercise in body horror that should please fans of this kind of thing. Still, the lack of any substance below the surface is ultimately too frustrating to ignore. Go to Full Review

Apr 13, 2019 Horrible characters and character development. I really couldn't wait the the lead girl to die. Makes stupid decisions and is selfish and just stubborn for too long to make any form of improvement, realization or difference to the outcome of the film. Basically she just pissed me off. Don't watch this film See more
Sep 17, 2018 DON'T BE FOOLED! This is a GOOD movie. You can tell in the first 2 minutes that it's going to be a well made movie.
Draco P Aug 27, 2018 One of those "Why don't they just...?" movies. In this case, "Why doesn't she just go to the hospital??" Not to mention, "Why doesn't she just NOT give a big smooch to the woman with bad skin, hair falling out, a bloody eye and rampant leprosy all over her lip??" Hard to get over the lame characters--mom, doctor, etc. See more
Anakin M Aug 17, 2018 It would have been better if it was more medically based. For example, her eyes....yeah, red contact lenses....it would have been better, more realistic if just the sclera turned red rather than the iris..that part was so far fetched. it kind of reminded me of the movie The Fly.

Poe P May 9, 2018 If you play a drinking game to this movie use only one rule. Take a shot every time someone does or says something stupid, I guarantee you'll be wasted in 30 minutes. The main character is the biggest offender, ignoring obvious medical issues for the longest time while she deteriorates over the course of 3 days. Her friends and boss also not that smart, making her go to work and not advising her to seek medical attention even when they notice she's starting to look sick. Then there's the doctor whose incompetence could release all sorts of viruses onto the world. He tells her to just put some ointment on an unknown rash, one that he suspects might be an STD, then when she returns looking like death he still doesn't send her to a hospital like any normal doctor would. Now you notice I still gave this a descent rating. It's a pretty entertaining watch despite the characters being idiots. If you enjoy a movie about a virus slowly eating away at someone for three days like I do then this is for you. It's squeamish and gory and is capable of making girls go "Nooo no no no!" I'm a fan of the flesh eating stuff and the makeup was done really well. See more
Apr 28, 2018 It's a stupid movie that makes no sense whatsoever. Nothing makes sense in this movie. The actors are terrible and the plot it's outrageous. Waste of time. See more
