Leave your thoughts about Rabid.
| Original-CinThom ErnstRabid is a suitable entry into the science-fiction/horror genre that occasionally slants towards the promise of offering something more. And while the film’s science-fiction/horror elements don’t disappoint, the promise of something more doesn’t quite pull through. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThere are a lot of promising ideas here, but none are developed so much that this remake feels essential. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAn uneven but often energizing remake of David Cronenberg’s 1977 cult classic. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackRabid is a limp satire with a lacklustre female protagonist, and this shallow remake of a cannibalistic rabies attack film barely leaves a mark. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeHorror remakes don’t have to be inferior rehashes, as films like Jim Mickle’s "We Are What We Are" (2013) and Luca Guadagnino’s "Suspiria" (2018) have demonstrated. But this Rabid nibbles where it should clamp down hard. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyOverlong, undercooked Rabid can’t settle on a unified tone for its actors, let alone its narrative. Even its misanthropy ultimately feels indecisive and trifling. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPloddingly paced (it runs nearly 20 minutes longer than the 1977 film, to detrimental effect), poorly scripted and featuring largely amateurish performances and cheesy special effects, this Rabid strives to emulate the striking body horror of the original but mainly comes across like a half-baked imitation. |
| User ReviewJLauAfter a car accident and corrective surgery, an uninteresting fashion designer starts craving human flesh and passes on a form of rabies to morons in the fashion industry. |
