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.

Black Moon

1975

"Black Moon" is a work that stands out for its originality and its ability to tackle themes such as sexuality, violence, and social disintegration. The film is characterized by a non-linear narrative and an atmosphere of dream and nightmare. The images are suggestive and oneiric, with a clever use of light and color to create an atmosphere of tension and anxiety. Cathryn Harrison's performance is remarkable, and her interpretation of Lily is fragile and sensitive. Therese Giehse is also excellent in the role of the mysterious woman, and her presence on screen is magnetic and unsettling. The film is also notable for its... Read More

Night Watch

1973

"Night Watch" is a film that skillfully plays with the sense of paranoia and suspense, immersing the viewer in a gothic and claustrophobic atmosphere. Elizabeth Taylor offers an intense performance, making the protagonist's growing state of anxiety and confusion believable. The director makes the most of the psychological tension, maintaining the ambiguity between hallucination and reality until the final twist. The aesthetic of the film recalls classic gothic thrillers with dark houses, torrential rains and a constant sense of impending menace. Although it can be slow at times, the narrative crescendo and the shocking ending... Read More

The Addiction

1995

Directed by Abel Ferrara, The Addiction is a vampire film that transcends the confines of the horror genre to explore philosophical and metaphysical themes related to sin, addiction and the nature of evil. Shot in evocative black and white, the film is a visceral meditation on the loss of free will and the corruption of the soul. Ferrara uses vampirism as a metaphor for addiction and self-destruction, recurring themes in his filmography. The film is deeply influenced by existentialist thought and nihilism, with frequent references to philosophers such as Nietzsche and Heidegger. Lili Taylor offers an intense performance,...

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...

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...

The Hand

1981

A young Oliver Stone directs his second film, once again in the horror genre, in which the protagonist is an artist who faces a progressive psychotic deterioration, which will lead him to increasingly confront his dark side. Some moments are visually powerful, such as the use of black and white in the dream sequences; the violent scenes are well shot and satisfy fans of the genre. The whole thing is guided by the mastery of Michael Caine, who in this role can fully express his "histrionics", still managing to make it effective. The plot, although rather simple and at...

The Last Man on Earth

1964

The film, based on the famous novel by Richard Matheson I Am Legend, manages to recreate the atmosphere of the book well, despite the limited budget. The Italian director Ubaldo Ragona does a better job than the more famous Boris Sagal, who made The Omega Man a few years later. This is probably due to the fact that Vincent Price, very comfortable in an Italian co-production, surpasses the talented Charlton Heston. With his usual theatricality, Price offers a performance reminiscent of silent films, particularly effective in the part where he is alone, for half the film.... Read More
