The M David Cronenberg’s Rabid is one of the directors earlier films with a lot of bite. No pun intended. Rabid is played straight forward as a young woman carries a rabies virus from a botched surgery. The movie has some gnarly moments involving the rabbit victims, attacking people in a shopping mall and various places. What RABID brings to the table is ethos and pathos. The acting is really good all around, particularly by Marilyn Chambers and Frank Moore. This isn’t just a horror film. It’s a tragedy all the way up to the nihilistic ending.. I felt very bad for Rose and hard at the end of this movie similar to the way I fell at the end of dead Ringers. Sadness Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Jake L Great early Cronenberg film with an original story, fine acting, and decent pacing. Not without flaws, but is a breathe of fresh air. There is zombie influence there without feeling like a rehashed zombie flick. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Cody S. Overall, I liked it, but it was just too slow. I’ve watched movies from this time period that do the slow build to perfection. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Jaws come to mind. This one didn’t do that for me. The effects were “fun” at best, and the premise itself seems a little silly to me. While I did appreciate that it was unique, a blood sucking appendage from her armpit and her attractiveness lures dudes in, does just seem stupid to me. “Good” at best kind of movie, but definitely far from horrible.

Tim Treakle Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Nick O It’s such a shame Marilyn Chambers didn’t do more horror movies, cause nobody does creepy and sexy at the same time as good as Marilyn in this 70’s Cronenberg body-horror classic.
