Rabid Reviews

It's steak on a bun.
Rabid is when David Cronenberg was at his best(wait thats not
true theres dead ringers & his masterpiece the fly)but in the 70's his films were so raw if you don't have Rabid in your horror catolog please do it is worth owning.Like the scene
where the police officer is dead but has foam all around his
face,and marilyn chambers face when her body rejects the
cows blood,the frozen girl in the ice box(the front cover)
but most of all when Marilyn leaves the hospital and is walking down the rain soaked Canada highway is ONE OF THE greatest
scenes in horror history I've ever seen it was so beautiful &
scary how David got that shot with the rain and the lighting I'll never know the great Dario Argento would have paused at
that scene.So please buy Rabid also pick up "SCANNERS" "SHIVERS"

A horror film with a great story.
I allways thought David Cronenberg was a very underrated director ,his films are mostly about human diseases or weird transformations this is about a virus that infects a small population of people in Canada. Rose played by Marilyn Chambers is brought into a hospital after suffering through a motorcycle accident with her boyfreind ,the doctors at the hospital soon realise that there is a posibility of doing an experiment on her by using a skin grafting operation on Rose ,what they don't realise is the experiment has gone wrong and it seems that Rose has a thirst for blood kind of like a vampire but she uses a stinger underneath her armpits.
As soon as she leaves the hospital she ends up infecting everyone that comes to her path including a doctor who is preped up for surgery but then gets infected and chops a nurses fingers in half, overall I think that the film was great but not as good as Cronenbergs other films like Videodrome or shivers. What I like about Cronenberg films is that he is always seriuos about the horror films that he does and doesn't add humor to them like other directors like Wes Craven or Tobe Hooper, I hope you enjoy this film like the way I did.
