Phase II has some nice comic touches, but it's a forgettable B-movie.

Mr. Mercer’s character doesn’t attract sympathy comparable to that for Ms. Townsend’s (Ms. Lore’s Harper fares better), but there is no holding back on the worms, dermatologic nightmares, venereal-disease metaphors and hints of future sequels. Start stocking up now on the Pepto-Bismol.

Is a great horror movie. There are some scenes that may cause nausea in sensitive people. The idea is not new, but holds your attention until the end.

I loved this film. More than I did the first. I've always found it interesting to see how the infection takes hold on a day by day basis. What I got in this film was that, a sinister plot, and more. I don't want to spoil it but the ending had my very excited for a future sequel. I like where this series is headed because it's getting better and better with each installment. It's not perfect by anyways but it's way way better than most other zombie movies and tv shows.

The short running time means there’s nary a dull moment, but also that no new (or even old) ideas get explored in more than drive-by fashion, the occasion pause for gore aside.

Genre fans, at least, should be satiated by the copious amount of gore and viscera on display, although whether they'll be hungry enough for the next installment--all too obviously set up for at the conclusion--is another matter.

The virus is spreading, but the filmmakers don't appear fully committed to the idea of a zombie apocalypse, so no sense of dread (or suspense) ever takes hold.

Beyond some effectively icky make-up effects, Contracted: Phase II sells nothing that viewers absolutely must buy.

Novice screenwriter Craig Walendziak has followed England's template, charting the daily worsening of the symptoms. But he doesn't get that the 2013 "Contracted" was special because it was much more than a zombie flick.

Very solid body horror with some gruesome practical effects but in order to fully enjoy it you have to see the first one - also recommended if you are the fan of the genre. Plus if you are zombie movie fan, this is basically a close look at the zombie outbreak start.

So so pointless. Doesn't even try to build on the basic nothingness of the first. Nothing remotely engaging here except some of the icky special effects.
