Phase II has some nice comic touches, but it's a forgettable B-movie. Go to Full Review

A fatal new STD furthers its grip on Los Angeles in this uninspired body-horror sequel. Go to Full Review

It resolves all of the questions you never needed answered. It also follows all of the supporting characters from the first film that you you never needed to learn more about. Go to Full Review

Contracted felt like a first act to a movie, while Phase II feels like the second. Thankfully (*big, sarcastic sigh*), Phase II sets up a Phase III, giving us the grand finale we are so desperately (are we?) seeking. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post 04/06/2016
1/5
Poor writing and shaky performances, punctuated only occasionally by serviceable moments of gross-out horror, make this an entirely missable enterprise destined for iTunes obscurity. Go to Full Review
Matt Donato We Got This Covered 09/06/2015
5/10
In a film that opts for gross-out gags over scares, Contracted: Phase II feels like a rushed stepping-stone towards bigger things to come if the franchise is to continue onward towards (disgusting) glory. Go to Full Review

10/10/2016 some good effects, some not good effects. didn't care about any characters. short and entertaining enough, but not something i'd watch more than once like the first one. See more 10/04/2016 I really just couldn't get over how horrible of an actress that cop was. Jesus Christ. I was cringing every time she was on camera. Pretty gross movie, but the effects were well done. The story made sense, and some moments made me laugh... but overall, I'd give this a C... maybe a C-. See more 09/10/2016 There's some undoubtedly disturbing body horror fun to be had but even without having seen this original, this feels like an unneeded extension that answers too many questions that we weren't even asking. See more 07/11/2016 This movie was insanely disturbing and grotesque and extremely realistic to the gross level. It's exactly what I want in a zombie movie! See more 03/31/2016 A massive step-down from the already lower quality of the orignal, Contracted: Phase 2 spins its wheels for most of the runtime without offering much in the way of innovation and with an abysmal 70-minute runtime, doesn't justify its own existence. The plot picks up directly after the events of the first film as we now follow the moronic, Riley character who has now "contracted" the virus and begins going through the same horrors that Sam did previously. The real downside to this film is that the filmmakers don't seem to be taking any of the material seriously and at times it feels like a black comedy instead of the apocalyptic outbreak film they are so desperately trying to set up. We get to learn a bit more about the villains and what they're trying to accomplish, but most of the revelations feel half-assed and it sort-of contradicts the method of contamination that was used in the first film. Basically, this sequel is a placeholder to set up a larger universe with a mid-credit scene that sets up a third, doomsday-level entry; but if that day ever comes, I'm not quite convinced I'll ever give it a go. This film does have a pretty sweet idea where a girl affected with the virus tries to take her contact out and instead takes the whole eye, but her less-than-convincing reaction pretty much ruins the moment. See more 03/26/2016 Phase II grossed me out as much as its predecessor which I applaud but sadly it's just not as entertaining of a movie as the first was See more Read all reviews
