SYNOPSIS: 

Samantha kills Nikki, her apathetic girlfriend, by choking her to death after Nikki finds out Samantha hooked up with a man at a party and Nikki confesses she's been cheating on Samantha, then bludgeons her friend Alice to death after going to her house and telling her she has nobody left but Alice (she gives Alice a bloody, gross out kiss and then kills her).  Samantha then cleans herself up (as best she can), calls Riley to come over, and has rotting, maggot-y sex with Riley and then transforms into a full on zombie as she's driving home to her mom.  She gets out of the car, takes a swipe at someone trying to help, and then, when her mom calls for Samantha to come to her, Samantha lunges at her and the screen goes black.

REVIEW: 

What a magic little gem this is and one which will make you think twice about having a one night stand! My only complaint about this one is that it didn’t run long enough and ended too abruptly. I wanted more. This movie runs along a similar vein as Thanatomorphose where a young girl becomes infected with a virus and her body begins to fall apart. 
Though nowhere near as graphic as Thanatomorphose, there are enough differences between both movies to make them unique. This story is about Samantha who is a lesbian and after breaking up with her girlfriend attends a party where she is drugged and raped by a man she doesn’t know. The story progresses over a three day period where Samantha’s condition worsens by the hour as she experiences her flesh rotting, vaginal maggots, an abnormal menstrual cycle which becomes a river of blood, fingernails, hair and teeth falling out and the progressive loss of her eyesight. 
She very quickly regrets her one night stand as her life unfolds over the three days into a living hell. As the disease consumes her, she becomes a murderous soul killing her best friend and taking bites out of other people’s necks. Her crumbling body sends her insane and the final result is when she’s killed in a car crash and is reborn as a zombie. The zombie part only lasts for about one minute, the rest of the movie is about how she came to end up in this state. 
I know some people have canned this movie but I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was very well made with high quality special effects and the acting was brilliant especially by Najarra Townsend who played the part of Samantha. I found it to be a bit different and very entertaining. I invite you to leave your comments below and let me know what you think.

Schock

1977

The latest cinematic chapter of the Italian master Mario Bava, Shock, presents itself as a farewell to his directorial career, emerging from a decade marked by a rebirth of Italian cinema imbued with anger, ambiguity and a fascination for the macabre. The film, a cross between giallo, thriller and horror, is a testimony to that essential contribution of Bava, which had already inspired entire generations of directors. In this work, however, one senses the loss of that personal imprint: the meticulousness in the photography, a distinctive sign that had made the director famous, as well as that bitter irony capable of mocking...

Repulsion

1965

The film is a thriller full of tension, especially in the scenes where the protagonist experiences hallucinations. The horror atmosphere, with a touch of surrealism, is really intense. Although it may seem crude, this is intended by the director, who wants to show the harsh reality of the protagonist's life. The story tells of a woman in crisis, who no longer feels comfortable with the old values of society. This leads her to confront a harsh and chauvinistic reality, where she feels the weight of being a woman. The protagonist is alienated and desperate, aware that the world is changing, but remains tied to traditional values. Her... Read More

Don't Look Now

1973

A suggestive and deeply layered reinterpretation of a universal fairy tale like Little Red Riding Hood, which finds in its protagonists, Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, two extraordinary interpreters. However, the director eludes any predefined scheme, escapes conventions and leads the viewer on a labyrinthine, almost subliminal path. What on the surface seems like a parapsychological horror, complete with a hunt for a serial killer, actually turns out to be a work of extraordinary complexity: an investigation into the reworking of grief within a couple, into the tension between faith and rationality, into the unfathomable...

Lord of Misrule

2023

Bland horror that mixes paganism, thriller and folklore of British popular traditions. The story recalls the 1973 film "The Wicker Man" with Christopher Lee but is much less exciting, due to a watered down script and a perhaps improvised direction even if it must be said that the real and the supernatural mix in an interesting crossover and the atmosphere is fascinating, especially the sequences in the woods during a lunar eclipse. Ultimately a disappointing film but one that is worth watching.

Nosferatu

2024

Remake of the 1922 German silent expressionist film classic "Nosferatu the Vampyre", loosely based on the novel Dracula (1897) by Irish writer Bram Stoker. For me, who saw the 1979 cult movie "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht", the comparison with this new version is inevitable, which did not excite me. The aforementioned was certainly much simpler and poorer in its sober and perhaps even a little squalid staging and focused a lot on the perverse and disturbing charm of the protagonists, the beautiful Isabelle Adjani and the damned Klaus Kinski. Here, however, the exact opposite happens, the film is nominated for an Oscar for... Read More

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

1962

Based on the novel by Henry Farrell released in 1960, the film is considered the progenitor of the psycho-biddy subgenre where the protagonists are mentally unstable elderly women, ready to terrorize the unfortunate ones on duty. Playing the disturbing sisters in this psychological thriller, a small jewel of genre cinema, are an unforgettable Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, great Hollywood stars now in their twilight years. Despite being free of bloody or macabre scenes, the film is a hallucinatory journey through sadism, madness and family resentments... Claustrophobic, having shot in black and white makes the face of the great... Read More

The House That Jack Built

2018

Yet another controversial and highly disturbing film, which confirms Lars Von Trier as a provocative and unconventional director. The House That Jack Built is an extremely raw authorial horror, designed for an audience with a strong stomach. The film follows a circular structure in which the color red is a recurring element. Von Trier mixes images of works of art, clips from documentaries on concentration camps, cartoons and fragments of his previous films, creating a complex interweaving of symbols and references. Through a powerful visual force, he tries to strike... Read More

Cube

1997

I couldn't wait to talk about this extraordinary Canadian film, which I consider without hesitation one of the best horror films of all time, so much so that it is in my personal top 5 of the genre. The director, Vincenzo Natali, is often unfairly underrated, but with Cube he has demonstrated a visionary talent that deserves full recognition. This is his first feature film, the film that made him a household name, and despite an extremely low budget (around $350,000), it manages to give the impression of a much more ambitious and refined work than one might expect. Its... Read More

only lovers left alive

2013

If you are fascinated by the world of vampires, this extraordinary dark film is an essential viewing. The film tells the immortal love story between Adam and Eve, masterfully played by Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton. Their afterlife is immersed in a decadent and melancholic atmosphere, where the beauty of art and knowledge clashes with the decadence of contemporary society. With a refined gothic aesthetic and a touch of biting irony, the film is configured as a poetic reflection on the crisis of modern humanity, incapable of preserving the wonders that it has been...

Strait-Jacket

1964

The film we are talking about is based on a story by the writer Robert Bloch, author of the famous horror masterpiece Psycho, a name that immediately evokes shivers and uneasiness. This film, however, is not supported by a particularly complex plot or by special effects that lift the skin, but rather by the extraordinary talent of the leading actress, Joan Crawford. In one of her last performances, Crawford stands as a central and dominant figure, a colossus of emotions that manages to convey to the viewer every single thrill, every anguish, every delirium that pervades...
