Rabid shuffled onto the circuit in 1977. Directed by a relatively unkown David Cronenberg (fresh of off "Shivers") and starring a post-porno Marilyn Chambers, this up-to-par zombie flick is a fast-paced and enjoyable thrill ride released by the great (and defunct) New World pictures. David Cronenberg hit the ticket with this, though. His next pic was the successful mind trip "Videodrome".
