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.

Continuing in the trend of innovative horror sequels such as REC 2 and V/H/S 2, Josh Forbes’ Phase II takes Contracted in an exciting direction all of its own.

But just as the sequel raises the stakes, it also proves some things never change. Once again it’s a genre game changer, delivering another bucket-load of gut-churning gore, shocking body-horror and next-level carnage.

There’s a great cast of young talent, with rising star and new horror “Scream King” Matt Mercer delivering a brilliant performance as he takes over the series’ lead duties. First time feature director Forbes shows he’s one to watch. He combines gross-out ickiness with white-knuckle tension to make Phase II a unique experience that will satisfy horror fans of all tastes.

It’s disgustingly brilliant!
