Rabid
Directed by David Cronenberg
In David Cronenberg’s must-see cult favorite, a woman named Rose (porn star Marilyn Chambers) develops a thirst for blood after receiving experimental surgery. When Rose wakes up, she finds a stinger under her armpit which she uses to feed off victims, who later turn rabid and attack others. RABID is body horror as only Cronenberg can do, with sex and death inextricably linked thanks to Rose’s phallic parasite. Chambers gamely made the leap to “respectable” films, and die-hard disco fans may recognize her bizarro single “Benihana” playing over one particularly nasty attack. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

Good classic horror vibes, hot chicks, that old gritty feel, no complaints.
i watched it bc I love horror and I felt it was important to check out some of Cronenberg's stuff and I loved it. Practical effects were great. I mean, how could you not love how ridiculous the premise is. camp off the charts too.
Another old stinker
only watched this for the freezer scene
Rabid was a horror movie i believe in the 80's. . . Back then, it was real scary!!! Right up there with Emily Rose and "I never promised you a rose garden, and Demons. Excellent work for the times, & to re-see ut was amazingly interesting, thank you, Shudder!!!
