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 11/21/2013
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 11/21/2013
"Contracted" can best be described as "Contagion" meets "Blue Is the Warmest Color," without all those explicit sex scenes. Go to Full Review
Heather Wixson Daily Dead 01/08/2016
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 04/04/2014
A very adult and straight faced glimpse at an ugly human being rotting from the inside out... Go to Full Review
Richard Haridy Quickflix 02/04/2014
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

Holland W Dec 9 Awful, you won’t be getting your time back. See more Henry C Nov 23 A watchable body horror with some nice gross-out moments. Protagonist does a very decent job. There are some very poorly acted bits though and the WORST British accent I have heard in many a year. See more laurent b Nov 16 I don't know why this film has bad reviews, because I find it rather good. First of all, the scenario doesn't completely follow the usual paths of the genre. You never get those usual and boring explanation of what is going on here. Thank you for that ! This movie is very gripping, though you would hardly find a really nice character here, as almost everyone is more or less unpleasant, but you want to know what will happen next to them, especially Samantha of course. Some part of the scenario lack consistency, and you may wonder why a person afflicted with symptoms like this wouldn't go straight ahead to a hospital, but well, aside from that, it is so well-done and acted, that you forgive this side of the movie. So, now I will have to watch the Phase II :-) See more MIKE B @bart1064 Oct 9 A terrible movie with a completely unlikable main character. DONT WATCH THIS See more Rich C @Cordu0702 Jun 8 Nice film. Glad I watched it. See more Paul M May 6 This is It Follows meets Carrie…This has all the trappings of a failed B horror movie but it somehow rises above expectation and into the realm of mediocrity. There are some things to like about it if you like body horror, especially the final act but it’s by no means ground breaking. See more Read all reviews
