Description
The film will be introducted by Beyond the Flesh series programmer Noah Berc, who will focus on on Barbra Creed’s The Monstrous Feminine, Modern Theology in horror and Voyeurism as a feminist theory
Set in 1970’s Montreal, Rabid (1977) follows Rose Millar, a young-woman who survives a heinous motorcycle accident by receiving an experimental surgery. Despite saving her life, the procedure has a few killer side-effects, including a new appendage and a contagious lust for blood. Filled to the brim with David Cronenberg’s notorious blood-chilling visual effects, this early entry on his resume paved the way for films like The Fly (1986) and Scanners (1981).
