Now this cool, campy, creepy film starts out with a couple driving a van on the
highway, looking to find their way to a certain destination. The wife, strongly
advises her husband to pull over and do something men usually won't do, uh, read
a map! When they do tragedy strikes, when a couple (Marilyn Chambers & Her
Biker-Boy friend), hit their ,now stalled van blocking the road! They hit the
van, fly over the top and land in a field, where the motor-bike catches on fire,
with Marilyn's character, ROSE, pinned underneath. Yikes!!!
To make a long story shorter, she and her 'Biker-Boyfriend' are taken to a 'Experimental-Lab'/Hospital', to do skin grafts on Rose as the boyfriend has only minor injuries like a 'broken hand, etc. This my little 'coffin-creepers', is where the trouble begins!!! The Dr.' with-a-god-complex' decides to use experimental 'skin-grafts' on her injuries. Without consulting her or anyone else, not even her 'tru-blue' boyfriend. She remains in a coma. Oh, did I mention she was in a coma?
Oooops, when she awakens from her coma, she is cold & hungry. Enter the Dr. 'with-a-god-complex' into her room. Something tells me 'karma' is around the corner.........and it's gonna be a bitch!
She sits up in bed, topless, mind you, and begins to erotically hug the DR. and then shall I say, begins to 'BEAR-HUG' the good, horny Dr. until these, how shall I say, uh, 'skinned-penis' looking things protract out from her under her arm pits, complete with 'exit-wounds' that can only be described as 'who-ha'-like. Uh, draw your own conclusions on that term, hon!!! Rose then proceeds to stab him with her 'doo-hickeys' until he bleeds and passes out. Thus begins her 'RABID-REIGN' of 'zombie-like terror' all over the 'own & country' turning everyone into 'RABID-ZOMBIES', that when turning start to foam at the mouth like a rabid-dog!
These scenes all hysterical but probably not meant to be, by this infamous Director. They just tend to lunge at the nearest victim and bite them. Even on subways!!! The rest of the movie is spent mostly showing Rose, played wonderfully by Mss. CHAMBERS! Kudos to you Marilyn, for easily transitioning back and fourth thru the years from infamous Adult Features like the cult-classic Adult Film, 'BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR' to her early work as a model in 'Print-Ads' for 'CLAIROL Shampoo' & 'COCA-COLA' and even working on a Barbra Streisand Film, 'THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT', recording a Country Album with her band, 'HAYWIRE' and back again to a lucrative career in Adult Film Hits like 'INSATIABLE' and 2001's 'LITTLE SHOP OF EROTICA'!!!
Wow!!! If only DITA could have done that in my former life as 'ROX-ANNE RED-LIGHT'! LOL!
'Heads-Off-2-You' Mss. Chambers!!! This film is scary, campy,
culty and most of all fun to watch especially for 'gore-hounds'! Now as for Mr.
David Cronenberg, he is a Director of 'CULT-HORRORS' such as 'SHIVERS', 'THE
BROOD', 'SCANNERS', The Cult-Classic 'VIDEODROME', 'THE DEAD ZONE' from Stephen
King's Novel, 'THE FLY' Remake, 'DEAD RINGERS', 'eXistenZ', 'SPIDER'& even an
Episode of the TV Series, 'FRIDAY THE 13TH', Entitled, 'FAITH HEALER'!
Gee-whiz! DITA almost out of breath after the reading of that amazing Resume of
Work!!!
Now as you all know, Mizz DITA usually never likes to tell the
whole story, so here are 'DITA's Things-To-Look For;
* Woman On Subway who begins foaming at the mouth and jumps at the nearest
victim and bites his ear off! (Hmmmm, must of had a light lunch!)
* Scene with Mss. Chambers/Rose starts a little 'girl on girl' action, in a hot
tub, with her clothes on? So we think, until she bites and drowns the poor girl
to death! DITA thinks the movie-poster for this would make a great T-Shirt to
wear at your next 'Rabid-Zombie-Hot Tub Party'! I'm sure it be a scream!!!
* Scene where Rose/Marilyn is lying in a dirty alley, next to a dog who is shot
loose from it's rope, as men w/masks throwing her into a garbage truck, letting
it rip.
* Wet dress and T-shirt scenes are included in this fright flick as well as
professional 'writhing' about on floors in underpants by Mss. Chambers!
Excellant!
Love it!
In
fact DITA really hopes that 'THE NEW BEVERLY CINEMA' shows; 'RABID' w/the
Midnight Movie treatment sometime this year!
I, DITA DIRT NAP give 'RABID' a 3 SKULLS Out Of 3 SKULLS Score even though pacing could have been a tad faster for my taste! 'WHAT?' I'm a skeleton with A.D.D., fast-paced stimulation is everything to me! OOOOh,,DITA just had an 'adderall-nightmare/flashback', oh my, never again! Right Britney???
This Zombie Horror Fright Flick is perfect for STREAMING on
'Amazon-Prime' on a dark and stormy night, curled up on ur love seat built for
two, heat on high, popcorn close by, as well as your 'boo-thang', and a roaring
fire in your fire place!
