History Film / Contracted

* LighterAndSofter: Slightly. It has a little more humor than the first, and at times, comes across as more of an crime/action movie than it does a grueling BodyHorror flick, and is more of a straightforward ZombieApocalypse movie than a cautionary tale about date rape and [=STDs=]. [[spoiler:The ending is no less grim than the first, though, and in fact, is even worse.]]

* DoesNotLikeMen: Nikki in spades. In fact, she utterly despises them [[spoiler:to the point where she dumps Sam for being raped by one.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Slightly. It has a little more humor than the first, and at times, comes across as more of an crime/action movie than it does a grueling BodyHorror flick, and is more of a straightforward ZombieApocalypse movie than a cautionary tale about date rape and [=STDs=].

* DarkerAndEdgier: While the first film serves as a cautionary BodyHorror tale about drinking and date rape, ''Phase II'' is more of a straightforward zombie film, and BJ is retconned into an OmnicidalManiac whose goal is to infect as many women as he can — be it through consensual sex or not — and use them to spread the disease.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Riley, to Sam. He appears to be genuinely attempting to be nice to her, but just doesn't realize that she isn't interested.

* KickTheDog: While Riley was always rather creepy towards Samantha, [[spoiler:it just come across as unnecessary and cruel of her to have sex with him with the intention of infecting him.]]

* HypocriticalHumor: Zain is mortified when Riley asks him for guns, [[spoiler:but gives in when pressured.]]
--> '''Zain:''' Fucking guns, bro? Do I look like [[Music/TedNugent Ted-Fucking-Nugent]]? ({{beat}}, looks at Harper) Don't answer that. Dude, I sell fucking recreational shit here, okay? I sell good times, I help people and I don't fucking kill them, okay? ({{beat}}) How much cash you got?

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Sam goes off the deep end when Nikki tells her to leave.]]

* StrawFeminist: While she's never explicitly called a feminist, Nikki clearly DoesNotLikeMen.

* BlackComedy: Ricky, the security guard, sees Debbie scratching violently at the [[BodyHorror giant rash]] on her arm, and all he says is, “Oh hell no” [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and walks away]].

-->'''BJ:''' What you deserve is disease. What you deserve is plague. All the people around you, your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, their bodies stacked around you like firewood leaking blood and pus. All the physical that you held so dear. Everything that turned you on... now rotted and stinking from the very ... (annoyed by the zombified woman he has chained up) Quiet! ({{beat}}) Abaddon is coming.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Riley is about to buy some guns off of Zain, only for him and Harper to be caught by the police and then taken to the hospital, where Harper dies and is trapped in a morgue storage, [[ShootTheShaggyDog and Riley is killed by BJ]] [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie and then comes back as a zombie]].]]

* Plaguemaster: BJ. He carries the disease, and while he doesn't display any apparent symptoms, he still might smell of rot, since he has air fresheners in his car.

* SerialRapist: Brett “BJ” Jaffe is a particularly nasty one. He carries the zombie virus, [[TyphoidMary but doesn’t display any symptoms and as such, is immune]]. And he deliberately infects women with it, either consensually or not.
* TyphoidMary: BJ. He even namedrops this trope in the second film, although he's referring to Sam, who is decidedly ''not'' an example of this.

* LackOfEmpathy: In the first film, there's Nikki. [[spoiler:Her reaction to the news that Sam was drugged and raped is unbelievably callous and insensitive.]] And in the second film, this is, apparently BJ's entire reason for spreading the virus.

* SerialRapist: Brett “BJ” Jaffe is a particularly nasty one. He carries the zombie virus, but doesn’t display any symptoms and as such, is immune. And he deliberately infects women with it, either consensually or not.

* ActionizedSequel: Mildly, although there's a lot more guns blazing near the end, and BJ's EvilPlan is played like something out of an action-packed crime thriller.

* HypocriticalHumor: Zain is mortified when Riley asks him for guns, but gives in when pressured.

* HypocriticalHumor: Zane is mortified when Riley asks him for guns, but gives in when pressured.
--> '''Zane:''' Fucking guns, bro? Do I look like [[Music/TedNugent Ted-Fucking-Nugent]]? ({{beat}}) Don't answer that. Dude, I sell fucking recreational shit here, okay? I sell good times, I help people and I don't fucking kill them, okay? ({{beat}}) How much cash you got?

* EmbarrassingInitials: ''BJ.''

* EmbarrassingNickname: ''BJ.''

* TookALevelInKindness: As of the sequel, Riley is a much nicer person and not just a creepy stalker. He's shown to care for his grandmother, and to regret standing by while Sam was being raped. [[spoiler:He does not, however, refuse to get violent with Harper's classmate tries to stop him from taking her along on the trip to find BJ.]]

** Alice, too. She appears to have Sam's best interests in mind, trying to keep her away from Nikki, who she suspects to be a bad influence (and considering Nikki's behavior, she isn't wrong). Of course, Sam will have none of this, and buys into Nikki's accusation that she's trying to keep them apart because she wants Sam for herself.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Riley, to Sam.
* FanDisservice: Sam is frequently shown in her underwear while bleeding heavily from … a certain area. And that’s not even mentioning the [[spoiler:sex scene between her and Riley, where she’s rotting and maggots are falling off that same area.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:BJ survives Riley’s bite, and is hospitalized. Although he fails to kill Detective Young, she’s obviously infected, anyway, and is likely to turn soon. [[DownerEnding And the plague;s only going to continue spreading across the city, and in time, the world]].]]

* {{Narm}}: InUniverse, the song that Dewey plays at Alice’s memorial. James is quick to point out just how hokey it is.

* {{Jerkass}}: Even before [[spoiler:she finds out that Samantha was drugged by BJ]], Nikki comes off as a passive-aggressive ControlFreak.

* EmbarassingNickname: ''BJ.''

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They’re the product of a sexually transmitted disease from a SerialRapist who carries the disease, but is immune. It causes people to decay over the course of three days, and to reanimate upon death.
