Feb 6, 2020

Rabid is a suitable entry into the science-fiction/horror genre that occasionally slants towards the promise of offering something more. And while the film’s science-fiction/horror elements don’t disappoint, the promise of something more doesn’t quite pull through.

By Thom Ernst FULL REVIEW

Dec 13, 2019

There are a lot of promising ideas here, but none are developed so much that this remake feels essential.

By Simon Abrams FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Dec 12, 2019

An uneven but often energizing remake of David Cronenberg’s 1977 cult classic.

By Noel Murray FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Feb 1, 2020

Rabid is a limp satire with a lacklustre female protagonist, and this shallow remake of a cannibalistic rabies attack film barely leaves a mark.

Dec 11, 2019

Horror remakes don’t have to be inferior rehashes, as films like Jim Mickle’s "We Are What We Are" (2013) and Luca Guadagnino’s "Suspiria" (2018) have demonstrated. But this Rabid nibbles where it should clamp down hard.

By Katie Rife FULL REVIEW

Dec 14, 2019

Overlong, undercooked Rabid can’t settle on a unified tone for its actors, let alone its narrative. Even its misanthropy ultimately feels indecisive and trifling.

By Dennis Harvey FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Dec 12, 2019

Ploddingly paced (it runs nearly 20 minutes longer than the 1977 film, to detrimental effect), poorly scripted and featuring largely amateurish performances and cheesy special effects, this Rabid strives to emulate the striking body horror of the original but mainly comes across like a half-baked imitation.
