Rabid (2019)
Directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska
Starring Laura Vandervoort, Hanneke Talbot, Ben Hollingsworth, and Ted Atherton
I just saw the remake of Rabid(2019), and this movie left a lasting impression on me. This is a very well-written “zombie-like outbreak” movie!
Not to give away any spoilers, but the basic premise involves a woman who is badly scarred from an accident. Unable to pay for the surgery, she goes to a clinic to be a subject of a regenerative therapy experiment. Unfortunately, the experiment produces some unexpected results.
Rabid has some great acting, good tension, an engaging story, and some good practical effects. There is a part of me that wished that it had more graphic kills, but overall, this film definitely held my attention. And let’s not forget Rabid’s surprise-twist ending..it makes you wonder if there would be a sequel.
Overall, this comes highly recommended if you’re a fan of zombie-like horror films. Add this one to your collection. My score: 8/10 (purchase-worthy)
