The algorithms aren’t perfect and the latest casualties are the Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia, who were banned from Twitter after promoting their latest film, a remake of David Cronenberg’s Rabid, which is to World Premiere at FrightFest in the UK next month. It’s unclear what imagery was flagged, but accident or not, it comes as a surprising act of censorship against the two young filmmakers. We hope their account is reactivated as soon as possible.
Laura Vandervoort (Jigsaw) stars in the film as Rose, a demure seamstress who goes through a radical transformation after electing for plastic surgery following a disfiguring accident.
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”.
