Top critics, in their words
Fresh
"Contracted" can best be described as "Contagion" meets "Blue Is the Warmest Color," without all those explicit sex scenes.
Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
There's no payoff to the paranoia.
Rob Staeger, Village Voice
Rotten
A body-horror opus that will satisfy genre fans who like to be grossed out, but doesn't have much to offer on any other count.
