“Contracted” (*** out of four) was a chilling and eerie horror melodrama about a young girl (Najarra Townsend) who is sexually assaulted at a drunken party and contracts what she thinks is a sexually transmitted disease but is actually far worse and destroys her physically, emotionally, and mentally over a period of time. Half a horror thriller but half a psychological melodrama about the ravaging effects of a deadly disease. Sometimes difficult to watch but effectively told and acted. Only the ending seems a little out of sync with the rest of the movie. Horror fans will note Caroline Williams from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2” who plays the girl’s overbearing mom.
