According to an Amazon UK Blu-ray listing for Jen and Sylvia Soska‘s remake of David Cronenberg’s Rabid, the film will be released on March 25th, 2019. Scream Factory will be distributing the film here in the States, so we'll let you know when details on that release are available.
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.
The film also stars Ben Hollingsworth, Hanneke Talbot (“Playing Dead”), Mackenzie Gray (“Legion”, “Riverdale”), WWE superstar CM Punk, and New York Times best-selling author AJ Mendez.
