Having just recently delivered body horror shocker Contracted: Phase I to UK DVD back in August, Primal Screen are gearing up to bring us the sequel — Contracted: Phase II — on October 26. For those of you who don’t already own the first flick, you’ll be glad to hear that a double-DVD set is also due to hit on the same date… and we’ve got the first look at the artwork right here!
Contracted: Phase I stars Najarra Townsend, Katie Stegeman, Caroline Williams, and Simon Barrett and is directed by Eric England, while Contracted: Phase II stars Matt Mercer, Alice MacDonald, Peter Cilella, Marianna Palka, and Morgan Peter Brown. Directing duties are handled by Josh Forbes.
Contracted: Phase I Synopsis:
After a lapse in her relationship with her lover (Katie Stegeman) forces twenty-something party girl Samantha (Najarra Townsend) to move back in with her overbearing mother (Caroline Williams), things seem to be at an all-time low. But the devil-may-care Samantha soon finds escape in a one-night stand with a mysterious man (Simon Barrett) who leaves her hung-over, guilt-ridden and infected.
Uncertain of the disease or the man who gave it to her, Samantha attempts to hide it from her loved ones. But she soon realises that she is not just the victim but rather the host of something much more catastrophic, and that she and those around her are in mortal danger.
Contracted: Phase II Synopsis:
Picking up immediately after the events of the first film, Phase II follows Riley (Matt Mercer), now infected and running out of time, as he attempts to find out more about the virus and its mysterious host.
As he digs deeper into its origins, Riley attracts the attention of a detective (Marianna Palka) who doubts his innocence, and BJ (Morgan Peter Brown) himself, who holds the key to the virus – and perhaps the destruction of mankind as we know it, leading to a blood-soaked finale you have to see to believe.
