Contracted follows the struggles faced by a young woman in the 72 hours following a one night stand. The chance encounter with an unknown man results in the lesbian woman trying to pick up the pieces of the night which would change her life, and the unidentified sexually transmitted disease that is taking over her body in a way that baffles her gynecologist.
As much as I'd like to make this brief synopsis and review as spoiler rich as possible, I found that going into it blindly makes the viewing experience all the more... DISTURBING. What I can tell you is this. Somewhere between brilliant cinematography and writing that seemed vague at some points, supporting acting that was less than desirable and remarkable practical visual effects. Contracted was a splendid take on a genre in which seemingly everything has been done. |
In conclusion... WATCH THE MOVIE! From a male perspective I found certain scenes rather shocking, but I can see where this masterpiece plays heavily on common female insecurity and will definitely tap on the vein of their worst nightmares.
