‘Rabid’ Finally Infects Canadian VOD Platforms and DVD
The Soska Sisters closed out 2019 with their own spin on David Cronenberg’s Rabid, which released in theaters and On Demand back in December. Now, it’s finally releasing on Canadian VOD platforms (Apple TV, Sony, Rogers, Bell, Shaw) and DVD on April 28th.
In Rabid, aspiring fashion designer Rose Miller (Laura Vandervoort) has her dreams turned into a nightmarish reality when a freak accident leaves her horribly disfigured. After receiving a miracle procedure involving an experimental skin graft from the mysterious Burroughs Clinic, Rose is transformed into the beauty of her dreams. But nothing comes without a cost and Rose begins to feel terrifying side effects that tear at her last threads of sanity. What price will Rose have to pay to have everything she ever wanted? It may just cost her her humanity.
Benjamin Hollingsworth, Phil Brooks (C.M. Punk), Ted Atherton, Hanneke Talbot, Mackenzie Gray, Stephen McHattie, AJ Mendez, Kevin Hanchard, and Greg Bryk also star.
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.”

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.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
