Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Jonathan is a man with many problems, he finds himself trapped in a routine that seems to be the only thing to keep his fragile mental stability. All his problems are caused by his mother, whom we see through several flashbacks, too apprehensive and severe with his only son. Jonathan becomes a compulsive accumulator, which leads him to keep the body of a girl who died of an accident in her home.
I did not expect such a maniacal care for photography, with scenes to say the least stunningly visual, with an actor looking absolutely perfect for his character. Unfortunately I regret to admit that they have focused too much on photography, but not so much on the screenplay and the plot, not developed not at full potential. The flashbacks are the backbone of the film, the only scenes really disturbing, but not visually, it destroys you in thinking of the physical and psychological torture suffered by poor Jonathan because of the mother, who is obsessed with germs and the possibility of dying because of a lit stove or an open door. It is very easy to empathize with the protagonist, both as an adult and as a child, which I really appreciated.

Jonathan (Rob Zabrecky) is very Obsessive/ Compulsive. He works as a maintenance keeper at an amusement park in Aurora, Colorado. We get glimpses of his childhood of a domineering mother (Lisa Howard) with irrational fears. Jonathan has a half dozen dead bolts on his front door, but a back door that is easily broken into as we see two young ladies force they way into his house to snoop. Jonathan surprises them and one dies from a fall (Hannah Barron) and the other (Whitney Hayes) gets killed by a speeding car in his cul-de-sac. Jonathan who longs for a friend, keeps the dead girl on ice as he listens to his co-worker (Elisha Yaffe) tell him daily fantastic tales of sex. Jackie Hoffman is a neighbor who helps Jonathan a man who doesn't realize he has a condition.The body of the girl decays creating issues for Jonathan who dislikes germs and bugs. As the girl decays, so does Jonathan's life, in general, as it disrupts his routine of work, medication, and nightmares. The director wanted to make us feel the obsessive routine of Jonathan by re-creating the same scene multiple times with the same effect, including the two girls who are at the same place at the same time everyday saying the same thing. It was a bit over kill. Rob Zabrecky did an excellent job in his role catching the crazed Anthony Perkins/ Crispin Glover type of performance. However this was not exactly horror or thriller. It was art house repetition, expansion by parallelism. While the film was made and performed in an excellent manner, the lack of a well paced linear plot made the film low entertainment. I am sure it will have its fans.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The movie has some very good acting . It is also very beautifully presented giving it a psychedelic feel in many scenes . It makes a good effort in developing the character. The problem is that it moves very slowly for my taste. The thrill element is also missing. I feel that this may be liked by people who like contemplative style of narration. It makes a good effort of the motivation of the character but provide little logic on why does he do the things he does . Interesting idea to begin with i.e exploring the loneliness , child abuse. Average story . Good acting by main and supporting cast specially the friend who is quite funny. Good direction.

Two teenage girls break in the house of Jonathan (Rob Zabrecky) expecting to find marijuana in his greenhouse in the basement. However Jonathan returns from his work and surprises Katlyn (Hannah Barron) that is in the top of a ladder. She startles, falls on the floor and dies. When her friend sees Katlyn dead, she believes Jonathan has killed Katlyn and runs to the street. She is hit by a car and also dies. Jonathan is a lonely obsessive, compulsive and psychotic man that collects keys and has cleaning compulsion. His mother (Lisa Howard) also suffered from OCD and raised him with the same paranoia. His only friends are his neighbor (Jackie Hoffman) that helps him at home and the security guard (Elisha Yaffe) in the closed amusement park where he works as janitor. Jonathan does not report the incident to the police; instead, he decides to keep the beautiful Katlyn in the bathtub with ice and she becomes his girlfriend. He has dinner with her, baths her, until the day her body begins to decay. What will Jonathan do?"Decay" is an original film with horror entwined with drama. The screenplay is well-written, exploring and explaining Jonathan's disorder. The cinematography is magnificent and the scene with the close of the flowers is amazing. The slow pace is necessary to show the journey to the damaged mind of Jonathan and sometimes is tiresome. The conclusion with his imaginary friend is totally unexpected and shows how dysfunctional Jonathan is. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available
