Product Description:
After undergoing radical surgery for injuries from a motorcycle accident a young woman (former adult film star Marilyn Chambers) develops a strange phallic growth on her body and a thirst for human blood -- the only nourishment that will now sustain her. Vampire-like she prowls the city of Montreal using her sexual powers to attract victims who she then infects with a particularly virulent strain of rabies. In no time at all the city is reduced to a raging mass of rabid salivating monsters and only an army of machine-gun-wielding soldiers can subdue them. David Cronenberg's horror film explores the relationships between sex and violence between bodily disintegration and the disintegration of society.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 880934123590 Manufacturer No: SOM-DV2359

Rating:  - Rabid
Classic David Cronenberg film. Anyone who hasn't seen this one needs to get on it. Shows what a visonary he was back then and still is.
Rating: - Rabid
Early Cronenberg work holds up after 32 years and still delivers the goods. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - movies have come a long way.
Just skip this one. It's not worth it. This is one where nostalgia gets mixed with opinion, IMO.
Rating:  - Early Cronenberg
This is Cronenberg's 2nd proper movie. Baring that in mind, together with the limitations of the budget for a film of this nature made in Canada in the 1970's its actually a lot better than you might expect.
Yes some of the acting is a little wooden, and the special effects look very primitive now, but in fact watch this and then think about 28 Days/Weeks Later made roughly 30 years later and you begin to see a film that was way ahead of its time.

Rating: - Still Packs a Wallop 30 Yrs Later
I saw this when it first came out so I have a special fondness for it. I thought it was pretty cool back then and still think it holds up pretty good.
