Rabid is a 1977 horror film directed by David Cronenberg. After a motorcycle wreck a woman undergoes an experimental medical procedure. The results are unexpected. Well, not to us -we're watching a horror movie, after all- but certainly to them.
This film takes place during the Christmas season and has the occasional scene of Christmas-themed shop windows as well as a scene in a department store with kids seeing Santa.
Horror News closes with this: "this movie is still worth a look and is far considerably better than some of it’s era counterparts."

...I must have been busy on 1977, I missed it.
ReplyDeleteMe, too lol Just wasn't my thing at all back in the day.
DeleteI guess some people don't want a Merry Christmas. Ha! I don't know this film, but now I know about it which is more than I did before. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing touches of Christmas in what would otherwise not be a Christmas movie. But now... is it a Christmas movie? Or not? ;)
DeleteMr. M. and I just watched this the other night.
ReplyDeleteI love October :)
DeleteI don't remember this one.
ReplyDeleteMe, either. It was new to me.
DeleteI watched it. At times I thought it was disjointed and at times I thought it was slow, but I never got the feeling it had any scare tactic until the very end when the scream startled me. It may have been the next film, though.
ReplyDeleteCronenberg has his own particular style.
DeleteSounds interesting, never knew of this. Sadly we don´t have netflix or such...
ReplyDeleteThis movie is on Daily Motion online, so you may be able to access it. We got rid of cable and did without extra services for a good while, but we're enjoying Netflix and Amazon Prime. I also watch movies on free ad-supported online services like Tubi and Crackle.
DeleteCronenberg. Haven't heard his name in a long time. Interesting the Christmas setting. There's always that debate about if it is or isn't a holiday movie. (I still say "Love Actually" IS although some argue otherwise!) Definitely not a Hallmark movie, I think!
ReplyDelete"Die Hard is a Christmas movie!" I love than kind of talk :)
