The New Flesh: David Cronenberg’s Body Horror (Part 2)

In the second episode of our series on David Cronenberg, we're continuing to explore the director's early year's with his second feature for Cinepix, RABID.

Released in 1979, RABID stars porn star Marilyn Chamber in what was to be a breakthrough mainstream role for her. In this episode, we'll track the film's development and discuss just how one of the most famous adult film stars in the world got involved in a low budget Canadian body horror film.
