I'm looking for similar movies like this or contracted. It doesn't necessarily have to do with satanism and occultism or becoming a zombie.
I like those movies about fragile, insecure women, who becomes obsessed with something/someone/get sick, or whatever. I like it to see the process of change/transformation which the people in those movies are going through.
I recently watched the movie "May" which is a very good movie as well.
Any suggestions?
Ginger Snaps is a surprisingly great movie, especially considering the topic. She transforms big time, but she wasn't exactly weak before - still it's exactly what you're asking for.
American Mary is pretty solid, it has some very interesting elements. It matches what you're looking for well.
Of course the classic, Carrie. Very good movie, watch the original version.
Excision is a not that great movie in comparison with the fantastic May, the character is more on a downward spiral and not really weak changing into strong though.
Thanatomorphose- I didnt liked it, but its very similar to Contracted. I liked Contracted more. Thanatomorphose is hard to watch, kind of with no story, but the effects and transformation are there.
Bite- Entertaining and disgusting film. You also get to see a girl in trouble and also a bit of transformation as well.
Goddes Of Love- Not about transformation but yes about an insecure woman driving herself nuts and troubling love life.
Dream Home- A woman getting insane and obsess with living in some apartments and the things she starts doing for it.
Martyrs
When Animals Dream
Antichrist
Night Walker Cinema made a short film before both of these in 2011, Contracted definitely stole the idea, it's called 32 https://youtu.be/jPRrVXBaER8
Enjoy!
The Neon Demon is very much like this film. It is currently playing in theaters now. You should check it out, I really liked it a lot.
