I recently watched Rabid for the first time. I found this to be an average horror film with some good moments, however bad acting and a poor script ruined parts of this film.
The film involves Rose (Marilyn Chambers) and Hart (Frank Moore). At the beginning of the film they are involved in a motorcycle accident and while Hart escapes with minor injuries, Rose loses a lot of blood. This leads Dr. Dan Keloyd (Howard Ryshpan), a plastic surgeon, to try some experimental surgery on Rose. The surgery works but Rose remains in a coma for a month until the time she wakes up, and she is hungry.
In my opinion the worst actor out of the lot is Frank Moore. He spends the film talking in the same monotonous tone, as if he is completely detatched from reality. He speaks during scenes which should be dramatic as if he was at home with his pipe and slippers. It really was an abysmal performance from him.
Marilyn Chambers put in possibly the best performance of the film. Many of you may remember her as the famous X-rated movie actress, well you'll be happy to know she spends quite a large amount of time with no clothes on. Her acting was far from perfect but easily the best in this production.
The story moves quite quickly as far as the events in the film go, but a bit slowly in telling you why events in the film happen. This is a problem of the script....there seemed to be a lack of dialogue which would make things clearer to understand, and there are a few points where "how?" or "why?" questions happen about the films events.
All in all it's worth a watch...an average movie with some good moments, but it is the type of film that I won't be watching again in a great hurry. 6/10
