Contracted: Phase II

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Contracted: Phase II

Post by Leisher »

Yay Netflix!

Picks up immediately from the first one. Now we see the aftermath of Samantha's transformation to a zombie, mainly by following Riley.

This isn't as good as the first one, but is still a pretty cool detailed look at the initial stages of a zombie outbreak. This has never been done before in this detailed of a manner. The problem with this movie is threefold.

1. The actor playing Riley isn't as good as the girl that played Samantha.
2. It doesn't know what it wants to be, a horror, drama, or detective show.
3. They break their own rules. Turns happen much faster depending on how integral you are to the plot.

There's also some plot problems this time around. Actually, just a lack of attention to detail more than plot loopholes.

Still entertaining and original. It just doesn't live up to the first one.

Oh, and those with weak stomachs should avoid it.
