Contracted. 2013
I'm 0 for 2 so far. I found this on a site that stated the best
horror films of 2013. Well, I can say
that I ain't trustin' this site any longer.
It wasn't a bad concept, all be it shallow but I
think there could have been something there, but I wasn't feeling it. I think a story about a girl who after has a
one-night stand and starts getting horrifically sick and diseased would be
telling people about it. It's one of
those deals where the main character is going through the drama/conflict only
because they don't want to tell anyone about it.
Her excuse to people? Cramps. Now if I be having cramps that makes my eyeball fall out and look like the damn undead oh hell yeah I would be tellin' people about it. One more reason why I'm glad I'm a guy.
Maybe if there was a reason behind her being
so closed off from everyone I could understand more, and yeah we get that she's
a lesbian and in recovery from drug abuse, but still if you have open wounds
and bleeding out of your orifices, I'd be up on google like a mofo. So that odd logic annoys me.
The ending was a let down as
now the whole movie feels like a "How did the Zombie outbreak
happen?" deal and I guess that's cool, but I didn't buy it.
It's not a badly made film,
and it's pretty good for a horror, I just have problems with the story
structure and logic of the characters. This is a writing/script problem more than acting or directing.
A better movie of this genre might by Contagion.
That's my take. Tomorrow I talk about Byzantium, our first good horror movie for the month.
