Blog & StoriesIn David Cronenberg’s chilling 1977 classic, a young woman’s desperate bid for beauty through experimental plastic surgery spirals into a nightmarish transformation. She develops an insatiable craving for human blood, and each victim falls prey to a grotesque epidemic that turns the city into a hive of ravenous zombies. As the infection spreads, the line between victim and predator blurs, and the body becomes a horrifying vehicle for destruction. Cronenberg’s masterful body horror and unnerving atmosphere make ‘Rabid’ a haunting exploration of desire, contagion, and the monstrous within.

BodyHorrorFan – 7/10
“Cronenberg's early work is pure nightmare fuel. The concept of a plastic surgery gone wrong turning into a zombie plague is genius. The practical effects are gross and effective, and Marilyn Chambers gives a surprisingly convincing performance. It's not perfect, but for fans of retro horror, it's a must-see.”
ScreamQueen84 – 5/10
“I wanted to love this, but it felt a bit slow and dated for me. The premise is cool, but the execution didn't really scare me. The zombie outbreak felt a bit generic by today's standards. Still, I appreciate what Cronenberg was doing and can see why it's a cult classic.”
GoreHound – 8/10
“This movie is a masterpiece of body horror! The transformation scenes are grotesque and unforgettable. The social commentary about infection and panic feels relevant. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're a fan of Cronenberg's unique style, you won't be disappointed.”
CinephileNight – 6/10
“A solid horror flick with a strong atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, and some of the acting is stiff, but the overall vision is impressive. It's disturbing and thought-provoking in a way that sticks with you. I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates classic 70s horror.”
