9. Contracted - You'll Never Have A One Night Stand Again
It's pretty hard to describe Contracted without giving the game away. In short: a girl has a tiff with her girlfriend and so goes to a party and gets her drink spiked and ends up having a one night stand with a guy she doesn't know. She wakes up the next day feeling pretty awful, and over the next few days feels worse and worse. She presumes she's caught an STI, and checks in with her doctor. Let's look at some of the symptoms she's suffering. One, her eye basically blows up inside her head, giving her the look of some demented blood-ridden heroine addict. Two, a load of her hair falls out. Three, her fingernails peel off one by one. And then a load of maggots fall out of her vagina. Just your usual STI then. Turns out the one night stand guy was having sex with a corpse in the opening scene, which is always a sure fire way of getting your willy infected with zombieness. So don't talk to strangers, kids, and don't have one night stands, and definitely don't watch Contracted.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
