10 Body Horror Movie Fates Worse Than Death
4. Contracted - The Worst STD Ever
This film has its own take on the classic zombie angle, instead of looking at an outbreak instead focusing on one woman.
This patient zero is given the deathly disease from a man who recently violated a biohazardous corpse, and we watch as she becomes more zombified with each passing moment.
Her body falls apart and starts rotting, giving her many of the typical features we would associate with zombie appearance.
She doesn’t understand what is happening to her as her hair and nails fall out, her eyes become bloodshot and she bleeds heavily with maggots growing inside her.
Not only is she slowly becoming a terrifying monster but she’s also just been through a breakup, so really how could it get worse for her?
It would be a terrifying fate to be decaying from the inside out, not knowing the cause or the end-result. By the end of the film she has lost all human qualities, lunging at her own mother with murder in her eyes as, we assume, the police shoot her.
It’s a terrible way to live and a terrible way to die, being put down like a rabid animal.
