Day 249 of the challenge! Rabid showed me that armpit vampires are a thing. Leave it to Cronenberg to be that weird, right?
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. Like all the other Cronenberg flicks I've seen, Rabid made me uncomfortably squeamish. Cronenberg's signature brand of grotesque body horror, intertwined with some off putting sexual imagery of course, is all here, albeit more subdued (a teaser of other horrors to come no doubt). But beyond that, Rabid plays out like your basic zombie infestation horror movie. Almost like an proto 28 Days Later. It's not a bad or boring watch by any means, but it's definitely not the cleverest of his films. That ending was also pretty unfulfilling... Either way, it's a great little gem of a midnight movie with one of the most unique..."monsters" I've ever seen.
