Cronenberg has always been one to make interesting films with unique stories but at the same time they are always boring and useless.
A friend argued that David's films are original and I gave him that, I also added a movie about killer ducks would be original too, but who would want to see it.
This movie was very boring and didn't have any good scares nor will it stick with you. Five minutes after you finish with this film you will have forgotten it, unless you remember it for porn star Chambers tits which were wisely casted to make up for the fact the film was gonna suck. We all know by now though that sex sells in Hollywood.
Once the movie got to the point where many people were getting infected and going wild it did grab my attention. I have to admit I was really locked into the whole nightmare of what if people did suddenly go mad like that, it would be a lot like represented here in this film. Not only would a person be scared of leaving the house for fear of being bitten, but also the way killing the crazies and disposing of them would be carried out.
The fact is though that I watched a movie that had several things happen that ultimately resulted in random people turning mad and attacking people and kept thinking it has been done so much better in other films. It was poorly done and I was thinking 'god, I wish I watching THE CRAZIES or DAWN OF THE DEAD right now, something that is scary, gory and can be considered a horror movie
RABID - 1 1/2 stars out of 4
