Jonathan is a very lonely man. One day, he gets a visitor in his house: a young woman who, through a jarring turn of events, ends up dead. He does not report it because he is happy to have a friend, but now the body begins to decay.

Rob Zabrecky is utterly superb in this movie and is the only reason I continued to watch it through to the end. He reminded me of Crispin Glover.While at work two women break into Jonathan's home. Jonathan is a very strange young man with what some would describe as weird habits and mental health issues stemming from childhood abuse. Jonathan comes home to find the two women in his home, one of which who falls and hits her head and tragically dies in the basement. In a panic the other girl runs and gets killed by a car. Jonathan panics and keeps the corpse of the girl in his home and begins to treat it/her as his girlfriend. Of course she begins to decay and Jonathan's world starts to unravel as he becomes distressed, stressed and at a loss as to what to do.I found this movie disturbing and gross. Having said that it is superbly acted by all involved, the story and characters are very well thought out and really fascinating. I just didn't like the subject matter.

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!

I like dark movies. I am drawn to them like moths to a flame. But they have to have substance. They either need to be thought provoking, scary, or at the very least, suspenseful. This was none of the above. It was a drama - not a thriller. If you want jitters, watch "Love Object". This was not scary, nor did it have that campy humor of some dramadies (except for the first five minutes - talk about unlucky women). He was not creepy - just sad. But not quite enough to be heartbreaking. He was ill, but not frightening, as our beloved Normal Bates and Buffalo Bill were. I liked the actor - it was just a bad movie. It was also incredibly depressing, just the entire feel of it. Pass. Pass. Pass. (count to 30).

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.
