Historia
Rose, an aspiring fashion designer working at a clothing store, suffers severe facial injuries after a motorcycle accident. She undergoes experimental stem cell treatment that not only repairs her face but also makes her stronger and more attractive than before. However, Rose begins to experience strange side effects; she develops an insatiable hunger for human blood and starts transforming into something monstrous. As her condition worsens, she infects others with her rabies-like disease, leading to a violent outbreak in the city. The film follows the efforts of a CDC investigator and Rose's former boss to contain the epidemic while trying to find a cure.
Resumen
'Rabid' is a 2019 Canadian horror-science fiction film directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska, known for their provocative and socially conscious storytelling. A remake of the 1977 David Cronenberg film of the same name, this version updates the story to the modern day, focusing on themes of beauty standards, body image, and the consequences of unchecked ambition in the world of fashion. The film follows Rose, a young woman who becomes a carrier of an infectious disease after undergoing experimental medical treatment, leading to a bloody outbreak in her city. With its exploration of societal pressures on women's appearances and the dangers of unregulated scientific experimentation, 'Rabid' serves as both a critique of modern beauty culture and a gripping, gore-filled horror film.
