20 Hidden Horror Movie Gems To Watch On Netflix

20. Contracted (2013)

After being raped by a random stranger following a party, a young woman contracts what she thinks is a regular, treatable STD. But as she begins to notice some far more unusual side effects, she realises that it’s something much, much worse eating away at her from the inside out.

This is one for those who like their horrors icky, uncomfortable and tough to watch but for those with the stomach for the body horror stuff that David Cronenberg was once all about.

It provides a sufficiently unsettling horror experience, one that takes a straight-faced subject matter – the dangers of unprotected sex, particularly among young people – and morphs it into something horrific and disturbing.
