I like this movie. I've watched it many times. Samantha's transformation is harrowing to watch. The horror of knowing something is wrong but not knowing what or why or how to even treat it makes this story frightening.

Contracted is underrated. It's not just a "zombie" movie. It's a body horror film that touches on many issues within society. Recovery, abuse, mental illness. It's entertaining and fun. I LOVED IT.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Everyone's reactions to the literal walking corpse symptoms are absolutely ridiculous. Possibly the dumbest movie I've ever seen.

Believe her friend put something in her drink which made that first blurry blurb… zombie girl also claimed "you were the one who did this to me!" Before her second kill. Crappy people got theirs in a poorly acted mediocre film with slight originality…

None of it feels remotely believable but also isn't broadly defined enough to be satire, falling in that dull gap in the middle.

Rated: 2.0/5.0

New York Times

The ending to this fable misses the opportunity for broader metaphorical resonance, but getting there has its own unnerving rewards.

Los Angeles Times

"Contracted" can best be described as "Contagion" meets "Blue Is the Warmest Color," without all those explicit sex scenes.

Daily Dead

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

A very adult and straight faced glimpse at an ugly human being rotting from the inside out...

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.

Rated: 2.5/5
