Contracted (2013)

England supplies a sly, very cool denouement that suggests his intention was to craft a smart take on the most popular horror sub-genre at present.

Ultimately disappointing due to an inane script which fashions a thoroughly unlikable, idiotic protagonist who invites derision more than sympathy.

Icky and violent and shocking, but Contracted is also smart, insightful, and sort of tragic.

Sets its heroine's personal dramas against the spiralling symptomatology of her infection, fusing psychological insights with full-on body horror, leading towards an ending that is also a new beginning in this young woman's metamorphosis.
