Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘RABID’ (1977) on February 14 & 15 at Marcus Des Peres

Hey lovers! Spend Valentine’s Day with us and Cronenberg’s iconic body-horror storytelling with his early film, Rabid at Marcus Des Peres on February 14 & 15!

Synopsis:

Film courtesy of Shout! Factory and the American Genre Film Archive.

Picking up where his taboo-busting SHIVERS left off, RABID is the next-level iteration of David Cronenberg’s obsession with body horror as a late-nite creature feature. Former adult film star Marilyn Chambers plays a woman who, after a motorcycle accident, wakes up in a hospital with new skin and a new appetite. As the city of Montréal transforms into an incubator for gunk-spewing vampires, the ghostly Chambers finds herself at war with her body and the world. RABID is young Cronenberg firing on all cylinders. Featuring a focused and intense performance from Chambers, clever statements on vanity / greed and a grotesque lil’ beastie that looks like a penis with teeth, RABID is a high-water mark in lysergic horror. This includes the show-stopping scene involving a machine gun and Santa Claus!
