An evolution in quality from Cronenberg. It's glossier than Shivers, but it borrows a lot of the same themes and tries to expand on them. It loses the claustrophobia, but the scenes of mass hysteria are good.

Interesting twist on the outbreak genre. Not sure I would consider this a zombie movie though as it's more about the attacks.

Streamed via HBO Max Pretty entertaining vampire & zombie hybrid flick. Rabid is Cronenberg's early work that doesn't really stand out to me. It isn't bad or great either. It certainly has its moments but I think the problem is in how it builds up and I don't like how it ends abruptly. It does feel unique and different from other vampire films because of Cronenberg's signature thrown into this film. Watching it during this time is quite fitting and it really adds the horror. Worth a watch!

If you like 1977, horror and David Cronenberg, _Rabid_ is your jam. If you only like two of those things, you'll get a kick out of this. If you only like one of those things, meh. :person_shrugging_tone3::male_sign: A surprisingly prescient film for the coronavirus, in which Marilyn Chambers (hot off her success as a porn chic starlette) is the carrier for a type of rabies that forces Canada into a national lockdown complete with supermarket lines and armed patrols. True to form, Cronenberg adds a his trademark sexual touch with a disease that spreads when a vagina-like cavity under the arm opens to disgorge a long nipple with a needle at its tip. It's not earth shattering, but it is David Cronenberg horror from 1977.
