This film was originally halted mid production after 7 days into a 9 day shoot, and the negatives were lost for 20 years!

Now, the tale of a couple of med students that join a hidden group of surgery-obsessed fanatics and monster creators known as the "Cutters Club" can be told. This film also holds the distinction of being one of the final films in the lengthy career (over 250 on screen credits) of star Tony Todd released mere months after his death.   Join our discussion headed off by our regular hosts Cameron Scott and Full Moon enthusiast Dustin Hubbard as they take a deep dive discussion on this unsettling film!   RIP Mr. Todd!

An all new Appreciation Month is upon us here at Cinema Degeneration and this time we are delving into the twisted works and mind of the one and only Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg whose career started in the late 1960's! It's a month long (maybe longer) celebration of all things body horror, strange killers, telekinesis, rampant diseases, sexual perversions, more body horror, technological mutations, oh and did we mention body horror??? Our 5th and final episode is based upon one of his earlier efforts with the 1977 body horror classick "RABID".  Starring Marilyn Chambers and Frank Moore.  It's a spine tingling, flesh crawling, teeth chattering story of a motorcyle crash/burn victim that develops a taste for human blood after experimental plastic surgery and the aftermath of her victims that turn into kill crazy zombies.  Containing scenes of violence and depravity that have to be seen to be believed.  If that doesn't sound intriguing to you, then you've got to check your pulse because you may already be dead. Our deep dive discussion and dissection on this film is headed off by author Cameron Scott and director Marcus Koch. Buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride!   "Rita, he's gone crazy! He's gone crazy, he's killing everyone!"
