Young Rose (adult film star Marilyn Chambers) is severely injured in a freak highway accident in the countryside, necessitating an experimental grafting procedure to save her life. Rose appears to make a full recovery, but soon develops an unusual, phallic stinger on her armpit that feeds off of human blood, and infects those it touches with a highly potent rabies strain that renders the infected an insane, zombie-like creature. Rose, unbeknownst of her own condition, begins spreading the epidemic across the countryside and into a nearby urban centre as the situation spirals further and further out of control.Rabid (1977) is director David Cronenberg's second feature film after the controversy and success of Shivers (1975). It was his first film to receive a wide release in the United States, being co-produced by Roger Corman's New World Pictures, and Cronenberg's second collaboration with producer Ivan Reitman. The cast is a venerable Who's-Who of Canadian character actors, including cameos by future Queer as Folk (US) and Call Me Fitz star Peter MacNeill and Empire Records director Allan Moyle.This film was given a remake in 2019, starring Laura Vandervoort as Rose. | |

Spiritual Successor: To Shivers. Both films feature an attractive young woman who infects multiple people with a disease, the infection is passed from person to person and soon spins out of the control. Essentially, Rabid is just Shivers with the sex parasites and the apartment building swapped out for a new strain of rabies and the Quebecois countryside. Both films also have Joe Silver in a supporting role. | |

No Kill like Overkill: Lloyd goes rabid while in the backseat of a taxi headed home and he attacks the driver who proceeds to swerve around the road until sideswiping another car, resulting in an explosion. The car then flips over, rolling over several times until it tumbles off the side of an overpass, falling 50-60 feet before crashing down on a lower road... only to get T-boned by a semi and shoved into a ditch, just in case you thought both occupants could have survived the rollover and fall off the bridge. | |

For Rose's part, she was vehemently against Mindy being her next victim, even before she realized it was lethal. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Rabid / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The epidemic appears to be somewhat under control, but at the cost of hundreds, possibly thousands of lives. Rose, who may be the only hope for a vaccine, dies and her body is casually tossed into a garbage truck to be disposed of alongside dozens of other victims. However, it’s certainly a less outwardly bleak ending than Shivers (1975). | |

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate | |
| Rabid / int_d3aad64a | comment |
Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Doctor Burroughs notes that he’s bending the rules considering the nature of the operation, but he claims that he’s just bending these rules for the benefit of his patients and assures her that she’s not the first subject, even dismissing her dreams as hallucinations caused by the medication she’s on. Ultimately confirmed when he reveals that he knew what was happening to Rose all along. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Rabid / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Dr. Keloid left the United States after being laughed out for his (ethically dubious) idea of creating a franchised chain of branded plastic surgery clinics. His skill with grafting procedures, however, are enough for him to be ingratiated by the Canadian medical community and receive a steady stream of grants. | |

Unlucky Extra | |
| Rabid / int_df511fc6 | comment |
Unlucky Extra: One man turns rabid inside a shopping mall close to where a little girl is having her picture taken with a mall Santa. He runs at full sprint towards them snarling which prompts a soldier nearby to open fire on the man from behind. While the little girl is rushed to safety by the Santa's helper elf, the power of the gun results in the bullets going through and killing the infected man, but also killing the Santa. | |

Tragic Monster | |
| Rabid / int_e35bc0f7 | comment |
Tragic Monster: As in the original, Rose’s transformation was the result of an attempt to help her after a terrible accident, although in this case she genuinely didn’t know she was doing anything. | |

Was Once a Man | |
| Rabid / int_fdad625e | comment |
Was Once a Man: Dan Keloid is infected by Rose and the rabies come to the surface while he is finishing a surgery and he attacks a nurse. When Murray arrives to find the hospital crawling with cops, he is informed that it took multiple officers to restrain Dr. Keloid, some of whom were bit. He asks where Keloid is, only for the officer to respond "You mean that?" and points to a nearby armored transport van. Once Dr. Cypher approaches the window, Keloid lunges at him, snarling and foaming at the mouth, having been driven into a feral rage by the infection. | |
