Horribly disfigured after a freak accident, doctors perform a radical medical procedure on an aspiring young fashion designer. But when the bandages come off, the side effects soon cause her to develop an insatiable appetite for human blood.

Critics Consensus

Rabid reimagines David Cronenberg's original narrative with clear reverence and a fresh aesthetic, but despite its biting first half, ultimately devolves into a fairly conventional genre exercise.

2/4

Rabid with a female lens isn't camp, it isn't satire. The Soska Sisters's take on Cronenberg's cannibalistic horror film is full of empty calories.

It's possible this remake could grow on me when I take the time to watch it again. Here's hoping that ends up being the case.

[The Soskas] have a wickedly funny sense of humor, and a few winningly nasty ideas.

The Soska Sisters retain the bones of the story but shift their focus to Rose's inner life as she transmutes into a form she doesn't understand.

In effect, Rabid feels like the film which the Soskas shoulda-woulda-coulda made right after American Mary.

6/10

The film eventually turns into a zombie-style gore fest, but it's the subtle first half that's actually more gripping.
