Contracted: Phase II (2015)

the first movie "Contracted" was good as hell with compelling characters in a body horror that at the very end reveals itself to be a zombie movie, executed in such a way that the mysteries that were begun in the film end up seeming insignificant compared to the implied threat of a zombie breakout.this sequel picks up immediately after the first, beginning with Day 4 (the first film had the Day 1-3 transitions, with Day 3 revealed to be "of 3". This film does the exact same thing with Day 6 revealed to be "of 6") with now zombified Samantha secured and contained.From there, we basically follow the same steps as the first movie, only focusing on the derpy guy who can't act Riley instead of Samantha. Every scene, every beat done by the first film is repeated here as if the first film didn't do them first, like we're supposed to be shocked and horrified when he starts coughing up lots of blood or finding weird things all over his body.The guy who initially started the infection gets some more screen time, with a dumb run of the mill "mankind is a disease" manifesto sent to the police as the feds get involved. More people get infected by Riley and showing the same symptoms he and Samantha had. More ridiculously, people act as if the horrifying facial deformations are just a minor thing. It was similar in the first film, but at least Samantha had long hair and hid her face as much as she could. This guy meanders about town looking like pure syphilis and no one's gagging at the mere sight of him and calling 911.Overall, the acting has gotten significantly worse, with Riley being utterly awful, and the actor playing Detective Young constantly slipping out of accent to some kind of either Irish or Canadian accent.about the only new thing done in this movie is the introduction of some manner of wide-ranging cult related to the zombie thing and BJ, noted by the word ABBADON tattooed on their fingers. The zombie outbreak starts unfolding, implied offscreen, at the end of the film, essentially making the vast majority of this film a waste of time

I can't describe how much I despise this movie. The acting was terrible, the pacing was terrible, music was terrible and just about anything you could think of. Apparently, zombie std viruses affect guys differently then they do to women. The main actor was just starting to get affected by the virus which took him about 6 days and just out out of nowhere, his friend pops up out of nowhere to catch whatever virus he had contracted and zombifies before he does...wtf? The only redeeming quality to the movie seemed to be the gore/special fx. Stay away from this movie. The first one did it much better and made some kind of sense even if not by much. 4/10

We all went in knowing what was going to happen. You wouldn't be watching this if you hadn't watched the first episode and so you know where he put his pee pee.Yeah it was okay. I always have problems with the self surgery but that's just me. Though I did love the scene where she popped out her eyeball instead of her contact lens... "What have you done to me!!" LOL Yeah, kind of liked it. Kind of liked the way the whole thing progresses from a single instance to a full blown epidemic. Loved the awkward memorial scene with the "Alice" song.While I'm writing this review I'm realizing that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought.Wonder if this is going to have a Phase III?

I can sit through just about anything, and I've watched movies that most people would turn off within the first few minutes. Now, I did sit through this whole movie, it's kind of like a masochistic thing I do, how much can I take, ya' know? After watching the first Contracted, I was looking forward to seeing the second one. Waited for a long time for it to come out and was happy when it came out. Then I watched it. If was F*#^ing stupid. How did the full grown meelworms appear? And why were they meelworms and not maggots? SPOILER: Why did the virus take longer to kill the some people than it did others? SPOILER: Why did the cop just cry and whimper at the hospital at the end instead of handling sh*t the way a cop would? Why would the guy decide to not tell his doctor about the horrible infection on his back, and why lie about having sex with the girl in the first place? If you're going to lie to your doctor, don't go in the first place! Idiots. But even though he was an idiot, he still isn't as big an idiot as the writers of this movie. They have no idea about how anything works and should be blacklisted from Hollywood.
