Contracted (2013)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I'm not giving a summary because not quite sure how to lay out the plot. So straight to my opinion. Seems most reviewers here have pointed out my main gripes. The fact that not even her mother insists she see a doctor is a point I couldn't get past. She comes home after having a drink at the bar and wow, her mom is perceptive about that but can't see or smell her rotting away?? She even stands in the bathroom while her daughter is vomiting blood and asks if she's pregnant!! And I'm of the same opinion as others who pointed out the friends' non reactions, the inept doc, and the stalker who obviously has no sense of sight or smell as he gets it on with her. The goof section here has covered a couple of errors in logic I was going to point out so no need for that, either. So why am I even writing this? I suppose to air my frustrations but also, I just had to comment on the sunglasses. Can she fidget with them one more time because someone may have missed the first few hundred times! Lol. Ok so this isn't much of a review but since IMDb tossed my beloved message boards, I have no where else to go. Overall, it's not the worst thing I've seen. At least I was never bored. Incredulous but not bored. I will probably watch it again some night even if just to hate-watch. There were ways to fix these problems without having her confined to a hospital. She ran from everyone at least once anyway so why not because they were forcing her to get help? Oh and if your doc ever tells you to stay away from others for at least 24 hours, according to this film, that means you can go see everyone you know and even have maggot sex!! (Please don't go by the logic of this film) Positive points? I liked her transformation. Or rather, degeneration. Unlike the characters, I noticed it!

Watch the discovery channel. The mermaids had better support.

People sometimes confuse production quality with story quality, meaning, they think just because its not Robert Zemeckis behind the camera, its not a real movie. Well, this is one those worthy stories that might suffer this, if you're not careful. Its too bad that going in, the people reading these reviews already know the full picture of what this girl has "contracted." Truth is, the less you know, the better. The story itself is a somewhat inspired entry into this genre, and definitely worth the time. For what it is, it truly is a great story.

I am a real fan of this type of film but i couldn't even watch this to end it was so bad. The whole cast give a very poor performance the main characters constant playing with her hair and looking into space shots were very annoying. Any sane person would be off to the hospital after bleeding that much yet she cleans up the mess with a tiny piece of tissue!! Seriously stupid it makes fools out of any viewer. Don't waste any more of your life watching this film
