    Rabid Remake

    Variety has learned that David Cronenberg's RABID is getting the remake treatment. The site is reporting that John Vidette’s Somerville House Releasing and producers Paul Lalonde and Michael Walker have tapped AMERICAN MARY directors Jen and Sylvia Soska to helm a feature film update of the Cronenberg flick, as well as a TV series based on the 1977 horror movie.

    Not a fan of the original, not a fan of American Mary so this news doesn't excite me in the least.

    I would much prefer a remake of Shivers because infected zombie flicks have been done to death.

    I feel pretty mixed on this trailer. I saw some stuff I liked (practical effects) and some stuff I didnt (already questionable performances). I think this could range from really good to really bad and anywhere between the two. I'll have to wait till I see it.

    Anyone read the article in Fangoria a couple months ago on this? It has some insights and praised the practical effects which I can see their reporting is accurate.

    I liked the original but don't consider it some holy grail or anything I think remaking it is fine and especially when you can see the Skoska's have certainly taken it into their own direction.

    I like the nod to Dead Ringers in that trailer with the red surgical get ups.

    So, the movie was pretty mediocre. Definitely not the worst thing I have ever seen, but I'm also not really a fan of the Soska sisters at all. I thought the performances made the movie fun, but the writing and characters themselves were hot garbage. There are many plot dumps of dialogue that it was making my head spin. I made this known on the Scream Factory Facebook page because they were releasing it and actually got into an internet argument with one of the actors. So, now I can't recommend it at all haha

    Yeah it's not as bad as I thought it'd be, but it's not very good either.

    I do like the original a lot. I was not even aware of the remake until now. What I just read about this remake might be why I didn't hear of this one. Most of the remakes from the last decade have been overall bad, and not anywhere near as good as the original. It sounds like this one is no exception. Unless anyone can convince me different, I'll probably just keep this one on my skip list.
