Rob Zabrecky stars as Jonathan, a middle-aged groundskeeper at a local theme park who 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. Jonathan is happy to have a friend, until the police start closing in, and his mind, and the body of the girl, begin to decay. [2] [3] [4]
The film, based on a true story, and was filmed in the Mission Viejo neighborhood of Aurora, Denver and at Elitch Gardens Theme Park in Denver, Colorado in 2013.

"Contrary to many films of its kind, DECAY’s plot fosters hope in a most unlikely scenario. - I don’t know, man. I really dug it." - Fangoria [7]
"Meticulous and engrossing, DECAY is a film that involves some pretty horrific subject matter, but in the end, it perfectly exemplifies in a sometimes gorgeous, sometimes soul-crunching, and sometimes nightmarish manner." - Aint It Cool News [8]
"With strong visuals and fantastically realised characters, Decay rises above its obvious inspirations such as the recent Maniac remake, One Hour Photo, and Psycho, to become its own rare beast: A horror with more heart than most." -UK Horror Scene [9]
"Captivating yet Tragic Character Study" -Red Carpet Report [10]
"Decay cleverly takes a subject that would normally serve as an excuse to deliver trashy clichés and injects some interesting concepts; loneliness being the main theme tackled head-on in a way rarely seen." -The Slaughtered Bird [11]
"Featuring a mesmerizing performance by Rob Zabrecky in writer-director Joseph Wartnerchaney’s vividly nightmarish pic." -Irish Film Critic [12]
