The Soska Sisters (Dead Hooker in a Trunk, American Mary) recently wrapped their upcoming remake of David Cronenberg's Rabid, starring Laura Vandervoort (Jigsaw) as Rose, originally played by Marilyn Chambers.
Jen and Sylvia Soska recently spoke with CBS about female horror directors and clips from Rabid are featured throughout the interview. Give it a watch below and be sure to keep an eye out for the clips!
"Drawing influence from the original movie, the remake will follow Rose, a young woman who, after an accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition, undergoes a radical untested stem-cell treatment. While turning Rose into the belle of the ball, the experimental transformation comes at a price."
Rabid is written by Jen Soska, Sylvia Soska and John Serge, and led by the twin sister horror-movie directors that established a huge following with the 2012 slasher film American Mary. With a modern and relevant spin from the woman’s perspective, and the addition of Laura Vandervoort,the new Rabid is going to be a uniquely chilling, and captivating film.
