Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

gwnightscream David Cronenberg's 1977 sci-fi/horror film stars Marilyn Chambers, Frank Moore and Joe Silver. This begins with woman, Rose (Chambers) riding a motorcycle with her boyfriend, Hart (Moore). They get into an accident and Rose goes into a coma, but needs immediate surgery. A month later, she awakens with a lethal appendage craving blood. When she starts feeding on strangers, an infectious, epidemic spreads. The late, Silver plays Hart's friend, Murray. This isn't bad, the late, Chambers was good in this and there's gruesome make-up effects. I'd give this a try.

SnoopyStyle Rose (Marilyn Chambers) is injured in a motorcycle accident. Doctor Dan Keloid performs an experimental grafting surgery. A growth in her armpit becomes a dangerous stinger which she uses to suck the blood. Her victims turn into crazed flesh eating zombies who then spreads the disease. Soon she escapes the hospital and it spreads into the city.This is an earlier Cronenberg. It's got some of his body horror style. While the armpit monster gets the headlines, the leg skin is actually quite gruesome. Marilyn Chambers' acting is better than expected but it's by no means great. She's good enough to be in a B-horror. None of the other characters stand out and it's hard to feel the horror.

tomgillespie2002 After a near-fatal motorbike accident, Rose (Marilyn Chambers) undergoes experimental skin-graft surgery to help her recover from the horrific wounds she had inflicted. Luckily for her, and surprising to most of her doctors, her body takes to the transplants and starts an immediate recovery. However, the surgery has left her with a strange orifice under her armpit which contains a stringer. She is soon seducing men and infecting them, leaving her victims in a shocked state and unable to remember anything. An outbreak is soon on the cards as the infected go on a biting rampage, spreading a strange disease which causing the host to turn rabid and zombie- like.Only his fourth feature, and only his second horror after Shivers (1975), this is not Canadian director David Cronenberg's finest achievement. But thankfully, a bulk Cronenberg's filmography is outstanding and Rabid is still an extremely effective little horror film. The infected are a mixture of zombies and vampires, although they aren't really either by definition, but Cronenberg uses them as well as anyone could hope for. The film is little more than a series of set-pieces, but one in particular, involving a woman on a packed trained slowly coming to the realisation that one of the infected is on board, is as good a scene depicting sheer terror and panic as I've ever seen.Of course, this being Cronenberg, undertones of psychosexuality run throughout. It's no coincidence that the orifice underneath Rose's armpit looks like a vagina, and no surprise that it attacks with a phallic stinger. Rose's sexuality is her real weapon, as it lures her victims close enough for the attack. Whether it be a fear of women or a warning about progressive plastic surgery that her character is trying to articulate, ex-porn star Marilyn Chambers handles her role extremely well. Though she is naked for the most part, she convinces as a seemingly nice girl turned sexual predator. Cronenberg would translate similar themes into better films and he would go on to develop body horror into a true art-form, but Rabid is an accomplished early effort.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Uriah43 "Rose" (Marilyn Chambers) and her boyfriend, "Hart Read" (Frank Moore) are riding around on a motorcycle when they crash in a vacant field in the country. Fortunately for them, there is a cosmetic surgery clinic nearby which takes them in. Hart suffers a few broken bones and is taken from the clinic to another hospital about 3 hours away. Rose, on the other hand, is in much more serious condition and the decision is made to perform emergency surgery at the clinic. Since she has suffered severe burns and abrasions the doctor, "Dr. Dan Keloid" decides to use an experimental treatment to facilitate her recovery. This treatment turns Rose into a vampiric carrier of a disease which transfers from her to her victims when she drinks their blood. Unlike Rose, however, her victims display symptoms similar to rabies but with a much shorter incubation period. Soon the virus spreads to Montreal and drastic measures take effect. Anyway, while there are some very good films made recently that are better than this, it should be noted that this film was made over 35 years ago and didn't have the computer graphics or special effects that we now enjoy today. Even so, the acting was sufficient and the director (David Cronenberg) managed to show as much of Marilyn Chambers as was probably permissible during this time. I have no complaints about that. All and all then, this wasn't a bad film and I give it an average rating.
