Watching RABID, I was reminded of a movie called the CRAZIES, which is quite similar in many ways. RABID is about a new strain of RABIES which is transmitted by being bitten by any RABID character that you might come across. Here, in the form of text written words, are the highlights of the movie;
1) A RABID doctor is performing surgery, and he is just about to cut some stitching with some surgical scissors, when he is overcome with the RABIES, and instead cuts off the finger of a nurse, and then puts her stump into his mouth, whereby he begins to chomp...
2) A RABID farmer enters his local cafe and orders his breakfast, when he is overcome with RABID rage, and starts to eat other peoples meals off of their plates, and then starts to eat a waitress...
3) A RABID man is having a ride in a taxi, when he is overcome with RABIES, and tries to eat the driver’s neck, but unfortunately, the car spins, flips and lands upside down, then still moving, it falls from a bridge onto a lower road, where it is hit by a lorry into a muddy ditch...
RABID is a very entertaining and quite gory tale, that should keep all horror fans laughing for quite a while, and if you liked this check out the CRAZIES.
