Decay

Decay is such a good film. I saw it free online! I always end up regretting the 'free films' I watch in the graveyard hours but Decay is different. It is psychedelic but such a well made film.

Such a shame that it has a low rating here. It seems like a lot of folks haven't understood the reason 'Decay' has been made the way it is - the idea is to really get into the skin of the character, to understand his past and present issues. I felt instantly drawn to the main lead, I felt sympathetic towards him. This doesn't happen very often and Decay makes you feel for the guy. I loved it. There are reasons for the uncomfortable and repetitive nature of scenes. This is how it is living with severe OCD for many people out there. Everything in life is patterned. It is the same thing day after day after day. And when something does change in the routine, it take a huge effort, a lot of courage and strength to change even a little bit of the routine. There is this stricture to routine and set patterns that can get maddening for some viewers as is evident by some reviews here but I think this needed to be shown and one must give credit to the director and main lead for portraying it so well.

Very well done. Please make more films!

I wasn't expecting too much, but I absolutely loved this film. Absolutely stunning visuals that contrasted beauty and vividness with stomach-churning grisly moments... I've seen a lot of horror. I like thought-provoking films, and this certainly is that. Absolutely unique and different to anything else I have seen. The daily repetition of the main character's ocd rituals are perfectly depicted... he has created his own prison in his mind and in his home... and we get to see via flashback where this paranoia and germ phobia came from. Very unusual in that you have some genuinely beautiful moment, sadness, and the truly disturbing pathology of a person who is utterky lonely and alone, willing to only able to tryly relate to a corpse. Superb.

Decay is one of the most fascinating movies I've see in years.

This movie is a character study. And a great one at that. The film is perfectly cast and the direction is pitch perfect. Within each scene lays deep caverns of unspoken information depicted through the art direction, cinematography, and performance.

The symbolism throughout is utterly amazing!! Upon a second viewing, I have discovered a far more in-depth understanding of the intricate scenes that have been delicately crafted. These scenes paint patterns of the main characters (Jonathan) life and tell a truly tragic tail.

I absolutely loved it!

This movie nailed it! I've watched it twice and plan to view it a third. The truly beautiful and tragic depiction of loneliness displayed in this movie is utterly heartbreaking. Mad props to the filmmakers and cast for their engrossing telling of this story.

Don't listen to the others wanting "junk food" from their movies. This is a grown-up movie for intelligent adults. Thank you for having the courage to give us a glimpse into a truly troubled mind. But most of all thank you for not submitting us to the tropes of other so-called "horror movies".

Sometimes there is more horror, pain and loneliness in ones own subconscious than a stupid CG monster jumping out of the bushes.

I was intrigued, and I did enjoy it, Decay is a good movie from my point of view, has a lot to offer, took its time but did not over stretch it and provided a nice ending.

I saw movies like this before, first to come in mind is Love Object from 2003, even better than this one I must admit and some others, with less similarities like Contracted or Thanatomorphose. If you end up enjoying Decay be sure to check out Love Object, which is absolutely superb.

Decay is a good movie, with an interesting approach, a good character development, nicely acted and quite disturbing at times. A strong stomach will be required for the entire ride. But those times don't take too much on the screen so overall you should be OK and safely make it to its end. I loved what I saw here. And I do recommend this one.

Cheers!
