Rabid (1977)

Cronenberg’s fascination with body modification continued with Rabid (aka Rage). It’s similar to his previous film Shivers (1975) both visually and in that the horror is again something normal that’s become abnormal, and when viewed from the other perspective it’s something new embracing life, but it’s not as unsettling as Shivers was and the ridiculous premise is hard to swallow even for a fan of his work like I am. I couldn't help thinking while viewing that it would've better suited George Romero's talents.
