I am one. Soska sisters have their own colors and angles to capture visuals and i love their vision, like the red kinda religious attire at the surgery table.Quirky , i would say..otherwise mundane
Not close to the original atmosphere and tempo,
very disappointed of the works of directors since American maRY
I SUGGEST to check the 70s version first.
I'm not a huge fan of the Soska sisters. Their most acclaimed movie, American Mary, doesn't do anything for me other than show some potential, and I usually don't like remakes, so as you can see, I'm not the target viewer for this film. I must say that it started horribly, terrible directon, terrible make up, the rhythm was completely off, and the performances were at soap opera level (which I blame on the directors). But after a while the movie started getting some momentum and things started getting better, with some genuinely good shocks and some nice make up effects (I especially like the face after the accident), but that was not enough to salvage the movie and it ended on a sour note with a pretty bad ending. Overall, the low budget and bad direction don't allow this to be more than a mediocre experience of a totally unnecessary remake.
Typical. Fairly well done but sort of all over the place. Super funny unintended scene towards the end. Worth a watch. More sci-fi than terror with a bit of a soap opera feel.
What to say about Rabid?
Frankly, I found it more comical than anything else.Its premise is pretty weak, not helped by an at times rather corny plot with often silly horror scenes.
On the upside, the acting is fine and does include appearances of well known Canadian actors.
Moderately watchable but by no means frightening or disturbing.
5/10 from me.

- TriviaDr. William Burroughs is named after writer William S. Burroughs. As Rose is healing from the procedure, Dr. Burroughs actually listens to a recording of "Advice For Young People", in which the author William S. Burroughs talks about psychic vampires: "If, after having been exposed to someone's presence, you feel as if you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that presence. You need it like you need pernicious anemia. We don't like to hear the word 'vampire' here. Trying to improve our PR. 'Interdependence' is the keyword. Enlightened interdependence. Life in all its rich variety. Take a little; leave a little. However, by the inexorable logistics of the vampiric process, they always take more than they leave."
- GoofsDr. Keloid says the accident punctured Rose's abdomen, but the bandages are on her chest.
