Jonathan (Rob Zabrecky) lives a sad and lonely life, thanks first and foremost to his biblethumping mother (Lisa Howard), who was also basically a bit of a lunatic and got him full of crazy ideas. The only two people who Jonathan interacts these days on a regular level are his neighbour (Jackie Hoffman), who does his shopping but might be a bit too much on the nosey side, and his colleague (Elisha Yaffee) at work at a run-down amusement park, who seems to have nothing but dirty stories to entertain Jonathan with. And then Jonathan finds Katlyn (Hannah Barron), a girl he falls in love with at first sight ... yet unfortunately she has also broken into his home, and before he could even have managed to fall in love with her he had already killed her protecting his home - but who's saying love can't be eternal, right? So Jonathan does the best to keep Katlyn's body fresh, does keep her in ice, bathes her, has dinner with her every evening ... but none of this helps against slow decay, which gradually starts to worry Jonathan. And then there are other things that start to becoming problems, like Jonathan's nosey neighbour getting a bit too nosey about his "new girlfriend" (Jonathan was careless enough to drop a comment about Katlyn), and the police looking for a missing girl (Katlyn of course) more and more zeroing in on him. But where's love, there's a way ... or is there?

Decay is a film in a league pretty much of its own: It's dead macabre, but never gruesome just for itself's sake but always carrying its story even in its worst bits, it has its share of comedy, but never tries for moronic or gross-out humour, and it takes its story as such very seriously, and between all the death and (literal) decay it even finds time for some romantic interludes. And Rob Zabrecky really nails the weirdo loner Jonathan, also helped by a subtle directorial effort.

Now to be fair, Decay isn't a movie for everyone, not for its quality but for its topic though, but those who can accept some stylish yet morbid entertainment definitely need to watch this.
