Cronenberg’s record of a viral driven apocalypse pulls the viewer into a world of death and contagion. RABID, along with other early Cronenberg films, deals with the scare from within our possess bodies. The myth centers on the birth of a disease, which eventually spreads to a colossal city and causes social breakdown. With its weird storyline, monotonous landscapes and creepy music, RABID stands out from other alarm films of the 70′s in that it has Cronenberg’s “body conscious anxiety” philosophy late it. Originally released on Warner home video in the 80′s and on a hard to catch import laserdisc from Japan, this DVD of RABID is the best the film has ever looked. The image exhibits minute grain, the colors are strong (for early Cronenberg), and the sound is determined. It is presented here in chunky camouflage (1:33:1), which is possibly what the film was shot in. Also included on the disc is the full-length theatrical trailer. If you’re a fan of 70′s fright, Rabid is required viewing.
Rabid was Cronenberg’s second feature film and a more frail “awe movie” than his first feature Shivers (aka They Came from Within) . Despite Rabid’s mature script and vulgar budget restrictions it clearly showed that Cronenberg was a writer/director with a strong vision and someone to observe for.
Rose (played unevenly by Marilyn Chambers) suffers severe wounds in a motorcycle accident. Experimental surgery turns her into a vampire of sorts that infects her victims with a incurable and fatal case of mania that resembles rabies. Rose, either fearing for her have safety or forced by a novel and barely understood predatory nature (Cronenberg never explores this in any valid depth), escapes from the clinic where she has been recovering from her surgery and unleashes a unpleasant plague. Although it may sound amusing Cronenberg treats the subject with such an cold documentary like detachment that the results are quite chilling.
Sadly the share of Rose (originally intended for Sissy Spacek) is underwritten, she has almost no dialogue and Chambers could not communicate any loyal emotional conflict in her performance. She becomes simply an object to recede the state forward, the secondary characters getting more development. This was a serious flaw in the movie and the valuable reasons I gave it three stars and not four.

The DVD itself is attractive black. The movie is not letterboxed, but the image is not injured too badly by this. There is a trailer that produces a chuckle when, after an impressive car rupture, the camera zooms into Rose’s first victim and the narrator solemnly says “Don’t peril about him he’s Listless.” There is no commentary, and the biographies are magnificent so so, with Corman (founder and CEO of the companies that both released Rabid serve in 1976 and this re-issue) getting the most lauditory and in depth biography, despite having really nothing to do with making this movie at all.
Cronenberg fans will want this movie in their collections regardless of the movie and DVDs flaws. Fans of the genre might want to check this out to seek the boundless possibilites the vampire legend does have to offer.
