Trivia
Dr. 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."

Goofs
Dr. Keloid says the accident punctured Rose's abdomen, but the bandages are on her chest.

Judge for yourself.

I'm a big David Cronenberg fan but I've always felt that Rabid was one of his weakest efforts. That the Soska twins chose this one to remake cannot be faulted. Since Cronenberg himself did a remake, let's not be overly judgmental. The twins do an okay job but don't really add anything to the original concept. I liked this Rabid slightly more than the original but neither of them are going to set the world on fire. All these low reviewers are hateful asshats. Watch and judge for yourself.
