At a party in a nondescript part of the world, an outbreak of a disease starting with a woman named Sam would show the continuing degradation of the human meatsuit as it struggled against some unknown virus. However, where she would ignore it, this would allow it to flourish as it became apparent, this was a hyper spreading situation that could easily threaten to overtake to the town, state, and ultimately world. But what was this disease exactly and how does it spread? Lets discuss that in todays episode!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The STZ (its what you think it is) In CONTRACTED and CONTRACTED: PHASE 2 Explored

Thanks for watching guys! hope y'all have a good weekend!
Imagine being the first to reply couldn’t be me
How about more supernatural ones?
Like the phone calls in One Missed Call trilogy the original Japanese version or Kairo "Pulse" please...?
Have a great weekend R
Thanks man, I'm really hoping to catch some STZs this weekend! 😂
You too
This movie nearly made me sick with how many people see this walking zombie of a person and think “it’d hit that”. 🤢
not only that but everybody seems to want to get close and personal with these clearly infected and visibly rotting people like its normal. Noone acts like a human in either of these movies.
Necrophiliacs always go and ruin everything.
never underestimate the degenerate tolerance of thinking with your genitals
@@EdgeO419 maybe it's a pheromone thing, know what I mean?
@@matthiasthulman4058 that’d be a cool twist that would make actual sense.
I love how all the "maggots" in these movies are actually just mealworms covered in red dye.
only just realised that the second time we see em
Thanks to this, I actually looked it up. They are surprisingly similar.
They are cheap. Can get like 1000s for like 10 bucks from pets smart.
the ones in this video were superworms but pretty much the same thing, they are actually the same things I feed my bearded dragon so seeing them isn't even gross lol
mealworms are probably easier to keep alive and don't turn into flies like maggots, prop logistics is neat
Contracted 1&2 was one of those movies where everyone was so horrible that I was cheering on the virus
same, tbh.
Hahahaha this deserves more likes in my opinion
Facts!
Based, just based😂
Yep, I did the same thing.
"Contracted 3, why does it burn when I pee?" I swear that was the funniest deadpan joke Roanoke has ever said.
Just a note: tinnitus can be more than just a "ringing" in your ears. Which I wish my doctor had told me because I thought I was _losing my damn mind_ when it progressed past ringing.
Good to know
🎉🎉🎉 you're not alone 🎉🎉🎉 welcome to the crazy club lol
Wait it gets worse?!?!
What’s after ringing?
@@tealablu3759 Moaning
Getting sick and ignoring it in hopes it goes away is a very relatable reaction.
Me with appendicitis for 24 hours... then it ruptured and I had a 2.5 day hospital visit... In my defense my appendicitis felt like a stomach bug because I had such a high pain tolerance due to my menstrual cramping. Once I stopped being able to roll over was when I knew I needed to go to the ER.
America! 🇺🇸
Usually, you can get away with that.
But when you’re decaying to the point there’s maggots in your body… might be time to go to the doctor.
Yeah humanity can be pretty stupid sometimes, or... Is it just here in America because of how "affordable" healthcare is? Idk but I must admit that I've been guilty of doing this when something actually very serious came up, but that barely last 24hrs before the problem was unbearable and I was forced to cave and see a doctor. Can't understand how literally every single person in movies such as this seem so completely lacking in survival instinct when shouldn't at least one person be completely flipping out and rushing to a hospital the moment they get a mild fevor, because those people exist? I think maybe though it's just perspective bias because who wants the story to follow Frank next door that got infected and immediately did the right thing for survival's sake? I must admit that would make a less interesting movie under most circumstances instead of following the completely unhinged people that seem to think they're immortal or something
I was about to say here in the US the hospital bills will kill where the disease did not.
Should also point out that even after "Typhiod Mary" was diagnosed and told she has Typhiod, she continued taking jobs knowing she would infect people. She worked as a cook, and then told by doctors never do to that again, because of the risk of infection. But working as a laundry worker she earned less than half of what she did as a cook, so took on fake names and worked as a cook nontheless.
She was told to give up work she needed to survive. It was that, or starve. The "charity" services in her time were non-existent to terrible. No such thing as disability or welfare. Just the "Poorhouse", & those were run by religious nutters who served you back-breaking labour, a fuck-ton of shame for daring to be poor & misery until you died. Mary had little choice but to keep on working, as she had no other skills.
I learned about that from This Podcast Will Kill You. Another fun biology of disease podcast.
Goes to show that paying peoplr like shit really does pose a massive danger to society. Given the current economic climate and how hard its become to live i suspect that for anyone making less than 70k a year we will reach a point in the next decade where the poor start gunning down the wealthy just to feed on them. Its straight up gotten to near "french-guilliotine" critical mass
I think the worst part of that story, outside of the fact she didn't wash her hands and was a COOK and the whole Typhoid carrier thing, was that eventually people sympathized with her. Like no, she's a fucking one man plague with an actual body count, and the fact that even after they told her she was positive for Typhoid, she carried on doing the *exact same shit* as before. To willingly want to get out of quarantine where people actually took care of her just screams 'You don't deserve sympathy' Basically Typhoid Mary was a massive bitch.
@@ericlamb4501 apparently she had major distrust with medical professionals because she was an Irish immigrant. She thought they could have been making up the whole thing. I see this side but I see your side as well. It's a tough situation that is very grey.
Bro imagine getting down and dirty and you hear the Halo announcer say " *infected* "
The number of people hitting on both Sam and Riley AFTER infection makes me wonder if there was some kind of pheromone effect too making them more attractive in order to spread the virus.
(Edit for typos)
Interesting thought.
The ultimate virus, it kills you in three days, revives you as a zombie while getting you all the ladys (or boys) you could ever want.
Sign up now for your first infection free of charge.
I think so, I could feel it through the screen
Can't be. Studies on the nose have turned up that the receptors used to detect pheromones' are vestigial in humans. We 100% produce them, but no one can actually detect them. The human body is basically screaming into the void on that front.
@@matthiasthulman4058😂
@@alexischavez3238 I wonder if that would be a specialty kink, like a Halloween only thing, or just sorta whenever?
Seems like a lot of prep work, to be honest
10:57 "She actually got maggots on her skin... HMMM... Gross" this had me lol
Bro, I'm sorry, I don't care what a doctor told me, if I see maggots anywhere in me, I'm going straight to the hospital, either I'm already dead and forgot to lay down, or there's something dead in me. I honestly hate movies that depend on bad character writting and convenient plot moving mistakes, It just takes me out of the immersion and makes me lose interest on it.
You get used to it. Kind of annoying at first.
They use maggots in hospitals as they only eat dead flesh so they may leave them in if there’s no reason to remove them
“Forgot to lie down” omg
As dumb as these two movies are and as bad as the writing is, I think the results were worth it for that one line, "forgot to lie down" lmao, I think you just ruined every zombie ever for me and I'm not even upset 😂
@@discordiacreates6669 I don't get it.
I knew someone who died from someone drugging her drink. Very correct Roanoke, no joke! Great video as always.
:( Thats really sad, people need to realize its not just a fun party thing (or even worse for the other reason), there are actual consequences that could be permanent
@@RoanokeGamingrape is pretty permanent. No matter where you go you carry the crime scene with you. Forever
@@fkrkf as a victim but now I call myself survivor, yes. It stays with you. But you can live. You decide if you're gonna allow this thing you had no control over, control you for the rest of your days OR you take the bull by its horns and say fuxk that scum bag, I survived and will make myself STRONGER and live MY life without that piece of sht in it. Yes the memory stays forever, but you decide what you do after.
This guy is saying death is permanent I believe---or physical handicapps can occur. I don't think he intended to downplay the impact of sexual assaults
I actually made CONTRACTED! This is such a cool video, thanks for sharing. I wrote the first film when I was in my early 20s, and we shot it for $50k in 15 days. So it’s a little rough around the edges 😂
I double featured this and the Soska's Rabid remake for a spooky party last year! You did a great job for the time frame and budget dude
@@misszombiequeen thank you! And I love the Soska Sisters. They’re friends :) My wife and I watched American Mary just the other night!
this movie was great. i feel the message here is not so much about; dont sleep around but more like communicate with sexual partners about stds and getting treated and telling your partners and not bashing them for telling you you may have caught something. thats how we can eradicate disease.. or get closer to doing so. ignoring it is never good.
The main character was such a cunt that I'm happy she died, sheesh. I understand their de-evolution amd their progressive decent into aggression...but they're such cunts that I didn't care at the end. The doctor being a badguy instead of a dummy is just a cop out, possibly after realizing how poorly he was done. It was a great movie overall, I just hated the characters
Are y'all ever planning on making contracted? 3. Cause the second one ended on a cliffhanger where the original creator of the virus was planning the spread of the virus by any means. Meanwhile, the cdc and nsa( national security agency) are working rapidly to hunting down anyone who's involved in the situation.
not only do i also suffer from Tinnitus, but when being examined and questioned about it by a medical expert i was told its not only chronic but on the more extreme ends of it lol. so yeah, infinite empathy to you roanoke ''why are we made this way?!?''
There's some tongue zapping machine in Germany that could help but import restricted from America. Big sad
Damn. Rest in pepperoni big G. I had the opposite. I had tinnitus bad for like, my whole life. Woke up one day a couple years ago, and it literally just disappeared. I was so happy. I can actually sit in a silent room without bother.
i’ve grown to enjoy the constant dog whistle
A few years ago I saw something at Walmart labeled as a treatment for tinnitus and I immediately grabbed it up. It wasn't til I got back to the car that I looked and saw it was homeopathic. Naturally I was disappointed but dropped the "definitely not just water" into my ears anyway. I hadn't realized how much my tinnitus bothered me until I was sitting there with wet ears and tears in my eyes. I did at least refund that crap
E
I appreciate the realistic portrayal of doctors in this film. Matches all of my experiences with them!
That's rough buddy
Which i think is important too highlight. Doctors ignore a patients concerns, especially women, to often.
Please stop shitting on doctors
@@sheisaMachine "EspECiALlY WoMeN"
Anything to stand on a left-wing soapbox and cry about non-existent problems, eh commie?
I say non-existent because men are far more likely to have their medical concerns downplayed by doctors and relatives because men are expected to always "win that bread" so they're socially engineered to never take a day off of work.
Men are literal 2nd-class citizens in the West. The sooner you accept this fact as reality, the sooner people will quit laughing at you for buying into ridiculous left-wing media BS.
@@sheisaMachine I do not at all say this to undermine your point. I in fact agree with you. Can we acknowledge the irony in your username and this comment tho 🤣🤣
My roommate went to the ER one time after not being able to breath well. they were like "its just the herpes that you got diagnosed with recently and your over reacting" turns out she had Ross River which she then had for 6 weeks.
Ross River fever is no joke
Typhoid Mary didn't spread it by accident; she was repeatedly told to stop working as a cook and kept finding new cooking jobs. Maybe it wasn't her intention but it wasn't an accident
It was for sure accidental at first. And she was an Irish immigrant in America at a time that was very prejudiced to irish immigrants. So she had alot of distrust in the doctors. She ended up on some island for people with contiguous illnesses
@@kelsey2333 she ended up on an island because she wouldn't wash her hands between using the bathroom and cooking for people.
That's what should happen to people like that
@@M_Alexander agree that she should have listened to public health officials. Keep in mind that germ theory was new and difficult to understand especially for the uneducated. Since people didn’t know about germs, hand hygiene was rarely practiced even by medical professionals let alone the lay public. Also, she was an asymptotic carrier of typhoid so she truly didn’t believe she was the cause of the outbreak and felt that she was being discriminated against. Even today it is difficult to convince asymptotic carriers of their risk to their family and the public.
@@kelsey2333THE GOVT DOCTORS TOLD MARY SHE COULDN'T WORK IN THE ONLY AREA SHE COULD GET A JOB!! She had no other skills besides as cook/barmaid and there was a ton of anti Irish discrimination so she had almost no other option (besides literally as a whore) and its not like they offered her any money to live off without working. Finally there's a ton of debate if Mary was really at fault and if she was an easy scapegoat to avoid govt responsibility from dirty water
@@fkrkfShe clearly had some idea though. Once people started getting sick in an area she would dip. Like “oh things are going badly. I’d better immediately leave and not leave anyone a way to contact me so I don’t get in trouble.”
I used to wonder how she ignored concerning symptoms until I was bleeding at a concerning rate and didn't go to the hospital until I dropped. So yea, we can be woefully obtuse
I feel you, I had an abnormal heart beat for 3 days before I went to sick hall and got yelled at for not going to the er
Because American healthcare
I love that I literally JUST watched these films last night and wondered "Hey, has Roanoke made a video on this?" The timing is impeccable.
no you didnt so stop lying
It's amazing. It's as though your phone is monitoring your interests...
This happens way too often in this channel
I think some streaming services offer movies for us at the same time as him
That night eats world was recommended for me in prime video 1 day before the video
So basically the bad guy is a Nurgle worshipper and was just brewing up a fun concoction for Daddy Nurgle. 10/10 movies
Most sane mortarian enjoyer
And thats how we got the Darktide story :D
mortarion would be proud fr
this unironcaly does work for the 2 movie antagonists and
serves the context for a small group of cultist in a civilised world under the imperium to subtly start spreading disease in a effort to corrupt the planet
I like the concept here. A zombie film that focuses on the person slowly turning after getting infected. Interesting
Exactly, not turning until death though, that's the only thing that is off about the theory of being any type of HS.
I got tested for a STD an hour ago. Pretty good timing dude
Hope it comes back clean 😬
I hope you pass your test :)
Good luck
i will pray that you do not have the hoebolas
Roll that rng
As someone that has been drugged as a test, I can tell you that that shit hits quicker than you'd think, and the worst part is, you're still partially conscious. Keep an eye on your drinks ladies and gents, it's a tough world out there
Studies have shown a lot of these cases are more than likely self overdose of alcohol due to underestimating their drinks and overestimating their own ability to take the drink
Having had rohypnol and having been an alcoholic whose goal was getting blackout drunk
There's little difference
And the average person would just not know
So I think, while yes, it happens and probably more than we would think
It's also less of an epidemic than popular culture would have you believe
So ladies and men stay away from too much hard liquor and make sure to eat food AND be vigilant of yours and others drinks
Don't be like me and wake up hanging upside down from a tire swing with no pants. I'm pretty sure nothing happened, but lol
The opportunity was definitely there with my bare ass swinging gently through the morning sky
As a test?!?! I need more explanation to that
@@kelsey2333 possibly them and a friend wanted to know what it would feel like so they could know if they’ve been drugged
I honestly would probably do that by myself if I knew I wouldn’t freak out and have a panic attack 😂
@@kelsey2333University’s and drug companies do testing like this but you just don’t hear about it!
Bill Cosby would disagree with that last part
In case anyone cares, a stroke feels like that woozy feeling you get after you stand up too fast, except it doesn’t go away. You’re already probably having a time at that point though. If it starts in the hands and then migrated to the face, it’s probably a migraine. If it starts in the face, the chance of it being a stroke is greater.
Stay hydrated
She actually does get it checked out pretty immediately after symptoms show. The dr just kind of dismissed her/couldn't do anything without test results and by then it was too late.
Due to my lack of experience in that field, it took me a little bit to remember why ecoli would be more prevalent in people 18-35. [edit] There is something that could explain why he suddenly had game. If you look at the first person, she had everyone trying to get into her pants. It could be that the illness also causes people to give off pheromones that lead to attraction. Just like how many illnesses trigger responses that are great for spreading them.
I'm just imagining what a horde of these things pheromones would do to a single man.
Like would it be too strong to resist some zed head
Sounds legit. I can smell when my wife is ovulating. And that's because women give off pheromones when they do
Doubt when their body is decaying. That would overpower all the senses. Pheromones would make sense in the beginning, like the first day, but everyone already wanted to jump Sam's bones before the infection and Sam wasn't really trying to get with anyone besides her ex. I say this as a fan of the first that it was probably a writing thing so the movie could happen. I think the in-universe answer is that mostly everyone in Sam's life sucked, and that Riley's character was that desperate to hook up with her, and basically such a h0rny nice guy™ sans the fedora that he didn't even notice. He says something during their hookup which leads him to believe she's turned on, when she's actually just rotting. Like, if he thought with anything other than his genitals and turned on a light, he'd have been saved. However, since he's not a bad-looking guy and seemingly normal outside of his fixation on Sam, I can believe he'd be able to get lucky now and again. He also (accidentally) infected everyone on the first or second day, unlike Sam who was the walking dead when Riley hit it.
I'm pretty sure the creator never expected such success for the first. A sequel wasn't originally planned -- continuing with Riley was the easiest and most familiar route to go with since the actor was willing to return as a lead, and the character by proxy already had an established connection to the antagonist. And the characters have to infect others without simply sneezing into their food/drink, so Riley was all of a sudden a secret p#ssy magnet.
Like a reverse toxoplasmosis
@@washedblue Yeah, but like...Riley knew he was infected by the second day and yet was still swapping spit with people and sharing drinks. That's definitely malicious at that point.
Your Roanoke Tales videos have been making my workdays go by quickly. Your video on the Franklin Expedition was engrossing.
Operative word being 'gross'.
I liked the Alferd Packer video a lot myself.
9:06 I'd like to mention that those kinds of doctors exist; as woman with a rare autoimmune condition, we (and our symptoms) are dismissed very often by many doctors. Very common experience, sadly. Thank you for your video, I look forward to more!
As an AFAB with EDS, I can also confirm
Yeah I feel like the healthcare system needs a serious reform in its attitude as I inherited a resistence to pain medication from my late mother's partner and was straight up told by a doc that I couldn't have a resistence to a certain one because I'd never been exposed to it yet. I managed to resist the urge to punch him when it, unsurprisingly, didn't work on me ^^'. My distrust in medical professions is now justified and that's a real shame
Yeah...doctors are very commonly dismissive in America.
@@shadows_star in the EU too, i went to a GP twice for a rash that was itchy and driving me crazy i explained that it started on my arms and then progressed under my boobs and thighs and itched like crazy he told me it was a bug bite.. yes a bug bite when i asked him why the rash would spread he just told me to get a cream and use that which obviously did not work. Anti itching cream and e45 worked but eventually it stopped working which is when i went to a second doctor. The second doctor told me i had scabies which are tiny worms that hook under your skin and present as a rash when they come out gave me and my boyfriend a smelly fluid told us to douse it in from the neck down for 24 hours and then shower and wash all the clothes and bedding obviously didn't work i was still itchy and now fed up. I went to my home country to visit my family and my grandma looks at my rash and said oh it looks like an allergy mind you neither of those doctors even mentioned and allergy during any of my visits. I went to get a blood test done for allergies and anemia and my allergy count came out x3 the normal amount an adult should have so i was allergic to something which turns out to be raw tomatoes and milk chocolate. While health services are overworked some doctors are fucking idiots who should not work in medicine yet alone people.
@@shadows_star To men and women
And children lol
I suffered with ridiculous strep throat from second to sixth grade because my family doctor refused to get the order to get my tonsils taken out
Despite the fact that the strep was caused by a near persistent tonsillitis lol
This same doctor fondled my chubby little boy boobie when I was in the 8th grade too
Creepy Canadian expat porn addict weirdo doctor
And the dad of my DM lol
How does the main character, the friend, and the doctor make my blood pressure skyrocket.
The Ultimate safe sex PSA.
Side Note: The first film is underrated. I actually felt bad for the character.
Before seeing this video I did not even know that there was a sequel.
Thats before woke girl boss movies and the #WokeMindVirus took over holiwood. Now every film is the same. Man dangerous. Man Stupid. Women clever. Women strong. Man weak. Plot non existant except for platform to show how strong and brave women is and how duplicitous and evil man is. No wonder Holliwood is loosing billions.
she was a dumb
She reminded me of the love of my life who married someone else. I did not know how to feel.
Is it actually good? From the plot summary, it seemed kinda like the main character was just annoying and stuff.
When I worked in the restaurant, I had literal whooping cough and my manager made me come in 😅
I tried to explain how contagious it was and how deadly it could be for infants… but no, had to come in.
Also, I had two broken ribs as well! From coughing so hard… from whooping cough.
(I had been vaccinated as a child, but I missed my booster after collage due to not having health insurance.)
I’m not surprised at all that a restaurant would make a poor girl turning into a zombie come in for her shift.
The last time I had strep they still made me come in and work my shift at McDonald's (this was like ten years ago mind you). I'd got an actual doctor's note and their response was literally "Oh, well, you're on antibiotics right?" Like, the actual fuck, what are you up to?
Oof, yeah I had a job that used to try that on me and I would either ignore the number(airplane mode) or say I was out of town. I've never come in sick yet but the day I do is the day the manager gets a sneeze directly to the face.
@@kalystagutierrez1607 I would be much better about standing my ground today. I was young and standing up for myself was hard for me. This was also over 10 years ago.
I have a different job today and they always respect me when I call in sick.
@@AJadedLizard I’m disappointed but I’m not surprised! Retail and food service seem to pull this a lot.
@@FawnieFox that's good! I've never been very good at listening to authority, specifically rude authority, so it's been easier for me to say no to whatever bs they have to say. It good your new job treats you well, hard to find these days lol
Honestly I'd believe the doctor was just bs-ing to get her out of his office. A doctor at Texas Children's Hospital refused to diagnose me back when I had West Nile in 2008, because apparently he didn't want to file paperwork to report it at 1am, even though I had been in the emergency room for (according to my parents) 8 hours.
Side note, please use lots of insect repellent when going to Brazos Bend, because that's where I went 2 weeks before I started showing symptoms.
Wow they didnt even take you seriously WHEN YOU HAD BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Insane.
I hadn't left the country, Brazos Bend is in Texas along the Brazos River.
The Utter lack of proper infection control in these movies is mind boggling. Really blundered the brain on this one.
I'm so happy you are covering it. The first movie is so underrated and the second one is blah.
Hope I did it justice!
@Roanoke Gaming lolol yes i totally forgot they existed till you covered them, thank you!
I get my recommendations from Roanoke
@@RoanokeGaming You did 😊
Thanks for the support! I made the first film, but didn't have involvement with the sequel.
This was one of the most original zombie origin movies I've ever watched, and I enjoyed it for that journey
Thanks! Appreciate that 🧟♂️
@@ericengland33 WOAH
Another movie I low-key thought was a fever dream again. My mind was also completely blown when I realized there was a part two, cause I legit only remember the first few minutes of the beginning and a specific scene near the end. I just thought it was a scene I missed from the first one lmao
Yeah....the lack of concern about this disease is really frustrating lol, both on her end, her friends and the doctor's end. I would be sitting in the ER until someone actually HELPS me.
It could be that it hampers your thinking and makes you exude some kind of weird pheromone?
Attempt #4 of getting Roanoke to take a look at either the physiology of Guts from Berserk or the micro-biology of the Blackwing Virus from Star Wars: Death Troopers.
I'd love to see you cover such a bizarre take on a zombie virus and I would also love to see you tackle the genetic luck needed for someone like Guts to do even half of what he does.
reading books is for nerds
@@under-chonkerYou're on a TH-cam channel for nerds lmao
@@danielerinaldo he’s basically at the absolute peak of human capability, and can keep pushing himself to a point that would kill most humans. While a lot of that is due to sheer bloody mindedness It would be interesting to see a video on how one’s mental state affects their physicality
I can second the death troopers one, but it's kind of hard for roanoke to get footage for that since it's basically only a book.
Still would be worth it.
20:37 peroxide can burn Roanoke, I use it to clean out the area between my skin and toe nail on my big toe because I get in-grown nails every 2-ish months, cat scratches, cuts, and even use it as mouth wash (obv didn't swallow it), it burns a little less than alcohol but it still burns regardless.
man, i love these videos so much. genuine scientific breakdowns of purely fantastical topics have always played through my head, but actually hearing the details from someone qualified with more than common sense and google is really just so engaging
"It's not rabies!" reminds me of "It's not lupus!"
It's never lupus.
Can't wait for the part three, I really wish they used your titles because they would probably be way more popular if that were the case.
So the one thing i can't stop thinking about is: at the end stages of infection, unless she's doing dry rot, or dousing in perfumes, she has to smell terrible from just random body parts decaying
And people still want to hook up with her?!
A few weeks after I watched this movie, I was hospitalized with blood clots and an aneurysm in my splenic artery because of post Covid complications. My IV got extremely infected in a matter of hours and I went into septic shock. After having one thousand feet of tubing stitched into my neck while I was awake and without numbing (lol it felt like that much), I was told they flew in a bunch of infectious disease specialists from several states away because of me.
Apparently the batch, or whatever it's called, of IVs was contaminated in some way. I felt like a fetid, sickly celebrity lol I got better and I'm not sure what came of it all, but I thought of this movie a lot during my morphine induced, fever dream, semi coma
"Totally unrealistic doctor didn't believe a woman's pain, ignored her symptoms, and told her to go home" love your content, but man... that may have been the most true-to-life moment in the first movie
"Ok it's definitely just anxiety"
Ugh, women. Always complaining about advanced necrosis. 🙄 /s
It’s honestly very realistic. Women are not listened to a lot of the time by medical professionals. It’s not just medical professionals though. It’s clearly a cultural issue of not listening to and believing women
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I mean, she was bleeding from her genitalia, OBVIOUSLY that's just *menstruation* right????????? 🙄
@@RedexTwo Doctors can sometimes just not care about what you're dealing with, even if the patient is male. It's not necessarily always about not believing women, but that can be a factor too
Man, I definitely should have chosen another video to watch during lunch when I already feel sick. But I don't want to waste time looking for another video.
I always had a hard time seeing the connections between everything happening in our body. I take biology and chemistry but even though I struggle quite a bit in both I love when I watch your videos and things connect, even more when before you explain I have my own hypothesis and it aligns with yours. Love your videos, makes me feel better when thinking I don't get anything in microbiology xd
This video is proof that Roa has never been a woman interacting with doctors. This is the most realistic depiction of how doctors treat women in pain.
I now have to wonder how she ended up with mealworms eating her flesh.
She must've found them in her cereal that morning.
Yes, the maggots(in movie) / mealworms were completely random and made no sense in either film being there.
Three explanations I can think of:
A) The mealworms aren't supposed to be maggots but parasites and the virus is just a front to hide the real parasitic infection. (So there's eggs in the syringe/blood.)
B) This is a dumb callback to the belief in the spontaneous generation of maggots in rotting flesh.
3) This is a grossout movie and worms are gross. 😅
The advice about always having a lawyer present when questioned by law enforcement is 100% accurate. I should know as I've been a cop for nearly 20 years. As Roanoke said, it's not that cops are bad, it's just that we ask questions in such a way as to elicit certain responses, both verbally and physically, to ascertain whether or not someone is telling the truth. Even if someone is completely confident and innocent and confident about being innocent, they can say or do things that may make them become more attractive as a suspect. Granted, that doesn't happen often at all, and 99% of the time, we are able to remove innocent people as suspects, but it does still happen. Having a lawyer present is always a great idea.
Watching this video now after going over the immune response in pathophysiology is a lot more cool because I'm able to get a lot more of the terms. It feels more impactful.
Psyched to see someone actually cover this! The first is one of my favourite virus/body horror movies, though it's not necessarily an objectively good movie and kinda went under the radar. I never hear anyone talk about it, and anyone I've told about it thinks it's insanely gross and dumb lol
I saw them both when they were released and they stuck with me because they both really poorly written but the idea was interesting as hell. Also they were two of the most disgusting movies i have seen.
I have tinnitus in both ears, and have done some research on it. The papers I read reported that it might have to do with certain nerves in the back of your neck that, instead of communicating with the brain, they talk to each other which creates sort of a feedback loop. Your explanation has more validity to it than what I've read. Unfortunately though there's new research on it, they've gotten no closer to finding a cure for it.
The ironic thing about it is you do end up getting used to it. Since it's literally always there, you tend to block it out. When I first realized I had it, it drove me completely insane, but now that it's been a few years, it doesn't really even bother me anymore. That being said I do wish they'd put some damn effort into it so we can get rid of it once, and for all. The real pain is you can actually hear it "turn on" when you very first wake up, lol.
I didn't think the waiter was trying to get with the protagonist. He looks genuinely confused. But you're right, they don't really expand on it so really great filmmaking.
I didn't know there was a second one, but the first Contracted is the _perfect_ prologue to absolutely any zombie movie. Want to know how 28 Days Later started? Contracted. Left4Dead? Contracted. World War Z? Contracted is the prologue. Contracted's useability as a universal prologue to zombie movies is criminally under-credited
Really appreciate that! 🧟♂️
Doesnt work with 28 days later because 1. It explains itself how it started 2. The infected dont Fall apart
Pretty sure the recurring theme of absolute everyone in this movie trying to hit on Sam is just some sort of "Ugh, men!" theme. Like "Teeth" but with less genital trauma.
I've been waiting for part 3 forever smh swear, thank you for covering this series!
Before you said what you thought it was I was actually thinking of syphilis because I've heard of some people having necrosis and psychological symptoms too.
I would love to ask, and you by no means have to do this or look into it, but have you ever considered covering the way that element 115 affects people in cod zombies? I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of something like lovecraftian radiation causing people to mutate and would love to see if you could find some way to make any of it semi scientifically possible. Ignoring all the nonsense like extra dimensional travel and stuff, I’d be fascinated to see what 115 would be comparable to in real life. Anyway, long rant over, I love your vids and have binged most of your series multiple times, just now getting to finishing the dead space one a second time to prepare for the new remake.
I mean, element 115 is Moscovium, and that has a half life of about 80ms so it won't do much
Man if my college professors could teach like Roanoke I'd be a genius. Think I've learned more watching this channel.
The most important part about Typhoid Mary was that she was an asymptomatic carrier. She could spread it but was essentially unaffected by the it.
And she wouldn't accept any medical advice. She was told to wash her hands etc and stop working in food preparation, but like a modern antivaxxer she didn't listen and others suffered.
Me and my mom were talking about this movie and we both agreed "yup that's definitely how the zombie apocalypse will start"

Your movie breakdowns and sciencey talk is the best. Favorite YT channel by far.
Your videos have indirectly helped me with my Pathophysiology class, thank you
The doctor is like them parents who see a child with stomach cramps and vomiting and calls it a “stomach bug”
I have a bad way of clenching my jaw when sleeping. I've done a lot of damage to my jaw because of it, including teeth. I know you talk about tinnitus a lot but I honestly never knew about it until I watched your videos. Now I know what that strange high pitched noise is that I'd hear all the time.
Love your videos! I will say that a doctor being really dismissive of a patient, especially a female one, might the most realistic thing in this movie. Sucks but it’s an insanely common experience, at least in the US.
My only issue is your belief that they’d be wearing hazmat suits… because we all have lived through this same pandemic right? Where we nurses weren’t even allowed to wear surgical masks at the very beginning because “it might scare patients.” So I mean, very possible you’d see people not having PPE. I mean we still have issues getting PPE unfortunately. :/
I just gotta say, I love your humor.
Kinda dry, kinda friendly, you just have a great vibe, that is why I keep coming back.
I'm pretty sure it's possible to have a believable epidemic without
every person in the film doing the absolute dumbest thing possible.
I'm also pretty sure whoever wrote this will never realize that.
yeah. this movie was infuriating to watch, lmao.
Tho it’s been a while since I last saw it, was Contagion one of those movies?
@@UGNAvalon
Contagion was pretty sound across the board. But it had contributions from various experts that this movie couldn't even afford to call long distance to ask their opinions...
I dunno, we've seen some pretty dumb behaviour during covid. Ask anyone working at a grocery store during the toilet paper shortage.
Watching contagion, a friend and I kept cracking jokes about the absence of things like that.
Yeah, it just requires the writers to be competent enough to work around logical counters to their threat. You see this in indie horror a lot, Crypt TV is pretty good about it. In fact, people taking perfectly rational actions and still failing is actually a hell of a lot scarier
The development of diseases in this and Afflicted are interesting to see. Great breakdown as usual
Been waiting for you to cover these movies. Wish there was a third movie
Hello, I love your videos they are always entertaining.
I was just looking at your playlist and was wondering if you have done a video on the parasite from the 2014 strain. I think as a horror show that is also a medical drama, I think it would work well with your channel.
Thanks. Have a good week.
I always assumed it was a mutated form of syphilis. The lesions, dying eyes and erratic behavior sounded a lot like syphilis to me.
As a woman, you would not believe how dismissive some male doctors can be. When I was pregnant I had a lot of problems with the pregnancy. I was put on full bedrest 6 months in because of the various problems. At about 8 months along I walked into my house after coming home from my weekly check up and just passed out. No warning or anything, I just hit the floor. I was rushed to the emergency room and spent 4 hours sitting on the bed in nothing but one of those little nightgowns and NOBODY came in to check on me once. At the 7 hour mark of sitting there and not even having a nurse come ask if I needed a blanket (or to see if I was even alive) I got pissed, grabbed my clothes and walked out of the hospital while putting them on. When I got home there was a dozen panicked calls on my answering machine from the hospital begging me to come back. I didn't want to but my parents made me. So I go back, sat on the same damn bed for another 45 minutes. The doctor finally came in, listened to my heart/lungs, looked in my ears and informed me in medical terms that I had a cold. Apparently he thought I was stupid and didn't understand medical jargon and was quite taken aback when I informed him that a simple cold wouldn't cause a person to just up and pass out, mid step, for no reason whatsoever.. but, toxemia and extremely high blood pressure would. And if he had bothered to look at my legs and feet he would have been able to make that simple medical deduction since my feet were so swollen that I had to remove the laces from a pair of (mens size 11) Doc Martin boots just to be able to pull them on and even then it was a struggle and my legs were so swollen that I couldn't put on pants. I then demanded that they get someone with a degree from an actual medical school to come give a second opinion. A female doctor came in about 20 minutes later, took one look at me and said "Jesus Christ!" and got to work on trying to at least bring down the swelling in my legs while they found me a room upstairs. I was on the verge of having a heart attack my blood pressure was so high and the male doctor didn't even bother to check it or anything else.
Yeah, I filed a massive complaint against him and he didn't work in the ER anymore after that. I spent a few days in the hospital, got sent home and was back a week later to have my baby (who came out very healthy thankfully). But yeah, I have had quite a few encounters with male doctors that were infuriating because they just blew off everything I said. My mom, daughter and quite a few of my female friends have all dealt with similar. It's sad, disgusting and can be downright dangerous.
Sounds like you hate men. You shouldn’t generalise someones ability based on sex, you’re no better than the old men who think women should only be nurses.
Damn. I guess that explains why any time I've been to any sort of hospital, I usually have a good time. All my doctors have been women :I
I had to explain a male doctor why I didn't have a period but wasn't pregnant... because I had an intrauterine dispositive.
I HAD TO EXPLAIN HIM SOMETHING AS BASIC AS THAT.
So I believe you de pies juntillas as we say, sometimes it can get insane.
There are few things more satisfying than delivering a verbal smackdown to a doctor that's treating like you were stupid. Good for you!
As a man, male and female doctors have been dismissive of me
Male and female experiences are honestly fairly similar
I think a lot of men lack the emotional capacity to describe what's going on with them, also men are just less likely to go to the doctor in the first place
So we get a huge imbalance where we have to say
As a woman
But whenever anyone has said anything like that, I've experienced the same as a man. Lol
Even had my chubby little boy boobie fondled by a doctor weirdly when I was a teen.
You should cover the movie Bite. Massive warning though. It will definitely gross you out, I MEAN IT. But it also revolves a disease that mutates its host.
Honestly as soon as a "maggot" scene popped up, my first reaction was "aww a mealworm!" and then "why is that there", before I processed that you said "maggot".
That tinnitus part, absolutely true. I have it non-stop at this point, however my doc said that diet can also affect it. Hate it either way, but not much I can do atm. It really doesn't stop no matter how you try muffling it, its still just as loud and definitely has to come from the brain messing things up.
Such an underrated gem of a channel. I can’t believe that more people aren’t subscribed yet. 😤
God I remember this film I thought it was just a fever dream. Always nice seeing a underrated film make it onto the channel!
I love your vids man I learn so much and they are so interesting keep up the amazing work.
I suggested this a while ago in the discord server, I think someone else did too, but I’m happy to see this being covered. I wasn’t sure it would be safe for TH-cam lol
This video has to be your best one yet. The quick jokes just make it so much better 😁
Peroxide doesn't burn but if the wound is sensitive enough it stings like hell. Tore up my finger tips not wearing gloves digging out chunks of concrete. Used peroxide and it hurt a lot, the bubbles sent jolts of pain through my nerves 😂
I've had tinnitus all my life and shingles screwed up my auditory nerve on the left side.
getting used to being left with nothing but tinnitus is a trip.
Dude I had no idea u were Roanoke tales. I feel so dumb right now that it clicks. I've been subbed to this channel for a long time and got addicted to Roanoke tales despite not watching you herer for a few months. I did not know it was you lol
Totally forgot about this one but awesome love the content still! Been watching u since I was like 15 or something idk but definitely one of my favourite TH-camrs
Man I am getting old 🤣
I like the part where the 40+ year old woman with a lip ring and a WICKED sweet spider tattoo was talking to some random grown adult like she was "cool" and he was "not cool".
I was actually wondering a few weeks a go if you'd ever cover this one. Glad that you did!
I love your improvised title extensions!
I wonder if he's like this at the doctor. "Yes, I do have this. You're absolutely right."
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE AS A TEENAGER! I have no clue why I loved it so much, but any time someone new wanted to watch a horror movie with me, I suggested this and Circle. I’m really into like, random ass streaming service horror.
You should do a video on the rat plague from Dishonored and how people turn into weepers. Although, it would be a challenge because there's not a ton of lore behind it.
tbh i wish u have a vlog channel.. every time you post something irl its always interesting and fun to watch!
The "contracted phase 2 OMG does itch boogaloo" did make me laugh
Still think you should cover the strain TV series it's only like two seasons so not that long but it's about a guy that works for the CDC trying to crack the case on a parasite that turns you into this strange zombie vampire combination. In that show the parasite grows inside of you and becomes you basically. Oh and their hair falls out if it's a man their penis falls off if it's a woman the vaginal opening seals it's some type of blood worm but when it gets in to your body your fucked. The series is pretty wild it would be amazing if you would cover it.
I agree
That opening bit made me rather happy that I'm not the type to engage in the supposed delicacy that is someone's backdoor
I found this movie one day randomly a few years ago, didn't know it had sequels, thanks papa Ro.
I love the little comments you make when you talk about the movie. The "hmm" or "that's how you get beat to deat-" cutout made me laugh. Keep up the vids! Been subbed to you for years now (:
I love how they couldnt bother to buy fly larvae, they went to a local pet shop and bought MEALWORMS which arent even decomposers, they're grain parasites LMAO
