Not one of cronenbergs best. I only recomend this film to true cronenberg fans that just want to see his full filmography…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Brian S (2,291) on 04 Feb 2018

Another of Cronenberg's experimental, half-assed horror movies, but it's actually not bad. For fans of campiness, Rabid is a perfect one…

By William Thomas (198) for Empire (3,446) on 25 Oct 2015

Cronenberg's sleaziest, funniest film, jammed with juicy gore and infectious shocks…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Joe M (1,521) on 29 Apr 2018

Easy to forget that - before his masterpiece The Fly - David Cronenberg wrote and directed some of the worst horror movies of all time…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Ryan M (2,675) on 18 Jul 2011

I'm a big Cronenberg fan, so I like all of his films, but this is probably among his least best. It's not bad…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Scott Mckellar (4) for The Skinny (809) on 30 Jan 2015

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

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Tomek S (237) on 29 Jan 2011

Cronenberg's 2nd movie is a pretty nasty exploration of the directors obsessions most of which would show up in his later, more mature films…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Richard M (1,299) on 31 Jul 2012

It's 28 weeks later 30 years before....with an armpit penis…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Samuel M (745) on 13 Feb 2015

Ultimately Rabid boils down to zombified sluts and shock moments but it's a combination that Cronenberg handles well…

Review of Rabid (1977)

By Elgan D (601) on 08 Feb 2015

Cronenberg's early exploitative zombie picture is entertaining in part but isn't as inventive as his better body shockers…

While this is clearly a low budget indie, I didn't mind because the pacing was so great and the story was so fun…
