10 Horror Remakes Coming In 2019
3. Rabid
Cult horror fans rejoice, as whilst the sound of one of David Cronenberg's horror classics being remade might not sound very appealing at all in the first instance - let's cast our minds back to The Fly entry for a moment - Rabid is being taken on by none other than The Soska Sisters. Wait, what? Who are they?
The underground horror circuit has been going nuts for the twin sisters bringing their specific brand of visceral gore to the big screen, with such titles under their belt as American Mary, See No Evil 2, and of course, Dead Hooker In A Trunk.
Their approach to Rabid has cleverly been to "continue the thoughts and conversation David started with his original piece and modernised through a female perspective", an interesting way of updating a piece rather than overwriting it, especially since the first came in the completely different political climate of the 1970s.
A horrible accident, complete disfigurement, and a healthy dose of stem cells await.
