Here at Moonbase Alpha, one of the upcoming projects were most excited about right now is the Soska Sisters’ take on David Cronenberg’s iconic 1977 effort, Rabid. And now, we’ve been given our first look at Laura Vandervoort as the film’s lead, Rose.

Seriously, what’s there not for horror hounds to look forward to with this film. Granted, the idea and notion of remakes can sometimes be a turn-off for some people, but Jen and Sylvia Soska are two people who we’d trust with any every redo out there. These Twisted Twins are not only huge, huge horror fans themselves, they’ve also wowed so many with efforts such as American Mary, See No Evil 2, Vendetta, and their grin-inducing Twinpool. Then there’s the horror heavy Hellevator game show that we’re sadly yet to see here in the UK, but that has all kinds of praise and buzz around it.

With Smallville and Jigsaw’s Vandervoort on headlining duties, the film will focus on her Rose as she begins to go through some alarming changes following plastic surgery to help her to recover from an accident that left her disfigured.

Joining the ever-charming Vandervoort in Rabid are the likes of Hanneke Talbot, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Mackenzie Gray, Ted Atherton, Tara Yelland, Joel Labelle, former WWE stars CM Punk and his real-life wife AJ Mendez/AJ Lee, and another huge genre fave, the always-brilliant Tristan Risk.

Rabid has yet to be given a set release date, but this is one to certainly be keeping your eye on.
