<\/a>One of David Cronenberg\u2019s earlier works, Rabid<\/em><\/strong> is a solid zombie-horror movie that certainly has its flaws but regardless was entertaining until the very end and the performance by Marilyn Chambers, an ex-porn star, actually wasn\u2019t half bad for the material.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>After undergoing radical emergency surgery, Rose (MARILYN CHAMBERS) develops an insatiable desire for blood. She searches out victims to satisfy her incurable craving, infecting them with an unknown disease, which in turn swiftly drives them insane… and makes them equally bloodthirsty. Follow the lovely but deadly Rose through her terrifying ordeal as victim by victim, the spreading circle of casualties grows… until no one can escape their grisly fate of becoming… Rabid<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Rabid<\/em><\/strong> is a flawed second outing for David Cronenberg and yet ultimately still a lot of fun with some decent make-up effects and a compelling enough story not to mention some quasi-impressive acting from former porn actress, Marilyn Chambers. There are some lulls that slow the pacing down but ultimately it was a entertaining first viewing for me.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
