‘Rabid’ Patient Snacks on Several Fingers [Video]
In addition to having an early Black Christmas, this Friday the 13th celebrates the Scream Factory! release of Rabid, Jen and Sylvia Soska‘s remake of David Cronenberg’s 1977 classic.
Scream Factory! is kicking up the hype by sharing an ultraviolent clip in which a rabid patient chows down on some flesh, gobbling up several fingers.
Meagan reviewed Rabid, calling it “a love letter to Cronenberg and Canada”, further adding that the “gore and makeup effects are worth the price of admission, and so is this new iteration of Rose.”
In the film, “After aspiring fashion designer Rose (Laura Vandervoort) suffers a disfiguring traffic accident she undergoes a radical and untested stem-cell treatment. The experimental transformation is a miraculous success, transforming her into a ravishing beauty. But she soon develops an uncontrollable sexual appetite, resulting in several torrid encounters, which sees her lovers become rabid carriers of death and disease. As the illness mutates and the contagion spreads out of control, all hell breaks loose as the infected rampage through the city on a violent and gruesome killing spree.”
Ben Hollingsworth also stars as “Brad”, a fashion photographer with Hanneke Talbot (“Playing Dead”) portraying Rose’s best friend Chelsea; and Mackenzie Gray (“Legion”, “Riverdale”) is arrogant fashion designer “Gunter”. Rabid will also feature WWE superstars CM Punk as “Billy” and his wife, New York Times best-selling author AJ Mendez as “Kira”.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
