About this movie

Jonathan is a middle-aged groundskeeper at a local theme park and suffers from a debilitating case of OCD. One day, his daily routine is disrupted by a surprise visitor in his basement: a beautiful young woman who, through a jarring turn of events, ends up dead. Jonathan panics and chooses not to report the dead girl. Instead, he invites her to dinner. Jonathan is happy to have a friend, until the police start closing in, and his mind, and the body of the girl, begins to decay.

Okay, so it seems this movie is definitely misunderstood by the others writing reviews. It is NOT your standard horror - with ghosts/ghouls, solely relying on jump-out scare tactics, yadda yadda yadda. Decay is a very unique blend of genres, which put into words would go something like: psychological dark romantic drama with horror thrown within. Ultimately, at its roots, Decay is a romance story (a very, very twisted one) revolving around a mentally unstable character (Jonathan) who can't get rid of the haunting memories of his troubled childhood. I call it romance because Jonathan is clearly in love (and not in lust) with what seems to be the only outside human contact he's ever gotten aside from what little family & work interaction he has. It was very well done & thought out - from the script to the cinematography to the soundtrack. In the end, this is a slower-paced flick that unravels Jonathan's awkward lifestyle and how he manages to cope with all sorts of different situations. Oh, yeah, and about how he lives with a corpse in the house (but who doesn't do that, amirite?).

I can't seem to pick a good one lately. This was just a plain waste of time. Don't take my word for it. Check it out..
