I know that there has been alot of talk about how countless plot summaries of Contracted have incorrectly said that Samantha had a "one night stand" instead of the reality that she was raped. Unfortunately, Netflix is among the guilty parties (for lack of a better term), but there is something we can do to alert the company about it.

If you haven't done so already (and I hope many of you already have), go to the main page for Contracted and locate the "report a problem" link below the poster image. A form then will pop up with a series of problem types; select the one that says "wrong or missing summary" and then there's a space below for further explanation.

I first reported this problem a few days ago, and I haven't heard anything from Netflix nor have any changes been made. I understand that solving problems takes time, but you would think this would be an easy fix. Either way, I'm hoping that if more people report this problem, that will move it up in terms of priority.

Hey everyone, so if you check the description by searching the title and hitting the plus sign next to it, it'll say "Binge-drinking, date rape and a hangover. Now something's really eating at her... and the nightmare is just beginning." However, if you pause while watching it and the description pops up it says the thing about a "One-night-stand." I think they fixed the actual description without changing the blurb that appears when you highlight the movie. So they changed it, but only in one spot.

If you want to send a note to Netflix, be sure to clarify that the "One-night-stand" description is for when you pause mid-movie, not the description attached when you hit the plus sign after searching for it.

As for the ridiculous argument on this thread... how could you not tell she was drugged? All the legalistic arguments don't change the fact that this woman was drugged and raped. The guy surreptitiously hands her a new drink and she acts all woozy - cut to her getting raped in the car and she has a moment of clarity "we should stop, please, please, please." Plus the whole thing where Zain sold the guy rohypnol.

Why does it matter? It's just a movie. It's not real.

I grew up in the un-enlightened eighties, and believe it or not, no meant no, and nobody roofied anybody's drink. Not in my town. Millennials of either sex have NO *beep* morals whatsoever and don't even have the smarts to take responsibility for themselves when they get hurt putting themselves in danger. The difference is the females act like little Miss Ingenue when they wake up after an evening of whoring with multiple partners. I'm so glad I'm in my forties and steering clear of the lot of you.

It must be so consuming to be the type of person who cares about this kind of thing.

frankly, if i could i would make the summary read "this movie is awful, we apologize for wasting a space for this instead of any other movie including plan 9 from outer space, but we are contractualy obligated"

It was not rape. That's ridiculous. She was drunk.
