Although Rabid is full of interesting ideas, they are not particularly well developed or presented by Cronenberg's unfocused script.

After undergoing a radical surgery for injuries from a motorcycle accident, a young woman develops a strange phallic growth on her body and a thirst for human blood - the only nourishment that will now sustain her. In turn, she causes a city-wide epidemic that turns the population of Montreal into blood-thirsty zombies.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr
It took (Cronenberg) several films to come into his own as a filmmaker, but even his earliest work reflects his obsessive interest in the human body as raw material that can be transformed -- for better or for worse -- by strong emotions. [08 Jun 2004, p.E3]
Another of director David Cronenberg's queasy early horror films that, like The Brood and Videodrome, gets under your skin. [04 Jun 2004]
A characteristic early offering from horror icon David Cronenberg, rough production values and all. [30 May 2004]
Cronenberg's sleaziest, funniest film, jammed with juicy gore and infectious shocks.
