…stands the test of time as a cautionary tale with added absurdity…

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2023

Erratic as a thriller but interesting as a testing ground for Cronenberg’s themes and techniques.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 31, 2023

Horror fans came to laugh at it, and left pretty damned impressed.

Still holds up just as well today as it ever has... this new release of Rabid is an utter delight of a package from 101 Films

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 16, 2019

Cronenberg tackles issues of a hypersexual society, in which bodily technology has far surpassed our moral capacities.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2019

"It's Cronenberg's best full-stop horror movie, I think, one where the horror comes first and the subtext is almost accidental. Later, it would be the reverse..."

Remains effectively squirmy, gruesome, and even prescient nearly forty years after its release.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 21, 2016

After the shock tactics of Shivers, Cronenberg's next venture into body horror is more subdued, but holds up surprisingly well.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 30, 2015

Cinema as a sustained bout of fever, a melancholy defense of Pandora

Revolting, yes, but still, an intelligent predecessor to some more moronic efforts in the same genre.

While Chambers does add some resonance to the film as a sexual icon, her acting ability is decidedly limited.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 19, 2009

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 21, 2009

Here is an extremely violent, sometimes nauseating, picture about a young woman affected with rabies, running around Montreal infecting others.

| Mar 26, 2009

None of the other recent apocalypse movies has shown so much political or cinematic sophistication.

Not Cronenberg at his peak, but neither is it without interest.
