Rabid is one of the finest cult films of all time. David Cronenberg is, of course, the director of The Fly (remake) and Shivers and The Naked Lunch and Scanners and The Dead Zone - an unsurpassed roster of cult horror movies. Not Wes Craven, nor Tod Browning, not Mario Bava, not Dario Argento, not John Carpenter, not even the ineffable James Whale, made as many genuinely weird and unsettling horror films.
