It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
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
If you have seen the original, you kind of know where this is going. And I will continue as if you have seen it. This time around it's a man who has the issue. The viewer might have a different issue though: We go through almost all the same things we did in part 1. Then again, why change a winning formula? Exactly, if you can "continue" something by adding to it.The acting is OK and one can generally say that if you liked the first movie, the same will be true for this one. Predictibility aside, this has its fair share of moments that will freak you out, something the first one was able to do to. There are "contracted" movies that actually have major issues, so I guess we should be thankful for the better ones
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.
There are a few reasons I watched "Contracted Phase 2".1.) How could it be worse than the first one? It wasn't2.) Maybe there would be some answers for how and why all of this started. There were, somewhat.3.) Will the people get more intelligent because the first movie was rife with stupidity. They were, slightly."Contracted Phase 2" picks up exactly where "Contracted" left off. Samantha was killed after hungrily attacking her mother on the street (how her mom happened to be at the scene of her accident is beyond me).This movie was yet another warning about unprotected sex as it picks up with Riley (Matt Mercer) going to the hospital to be tested for "everything" after his sexual escapade with Samantha. We see Riley go through the same three day metamorphosis that Samantha went through except with more casualties.The movie still lacked any real personality even though the acting was significantly better. But yet again, there were no characters to get behind. Riley deserved his fate for getting freaky with a walking corpse, everyone else was just collateral damage. Although better than the first "Contracted Phase 2" still not a good movie.
