Rabid Bites Again: The Crimson Contagion Continues

By Chris Rennirt

Hailing all galaxies, again! Jen & Sylvia Soska – The Twisted Twins – have released more sanguine stills from Rabid (2019)! Space Jockey Reviews’ Mission Control, of course, has all the gory goodness ready for launch, asaap (as soon as astronomically possible)! Yes! Just when you thought the crimson contagion couldn’t get better…you’re happily wrong!

From the twins themselmves, with a warning: “MAKEUP SPOILERS! Nothing you haven’t seen in the trailer, but these are much better stills to get a look at the makeup and FX.” Nothing we haven’t seen, maybe; but, frozen as an image to absorb, it’s as fresh as blood from a new cut. Bon appetit, encore!

“We love practical FX, because it’s part of the art that got us into horror films, and we’ve been blessed to work with MastersFX since American Mary,” says Sylvial Soska. “If you’re squeamish with gore and body horror, please know that everything was made by a team of artists working around the clock to make these images to stir certain feelings in you. Sometimes it’s fun to be scared; you’re probably braver than you think.”

Yes! We may be braver than we think, but with the artists at MastersFX and the Soska’s awesome craft of writing, directing, and producing horror, our courage will, no doubt, be put to the test! What’s more likely to “stir [the] feelings” is the practical effects approach the twins are dedicated to using – the kind of effects we love so much. Absolutely the best way to get that “fun” movie fear at it’s peak, isn’t it? Bring it on, girls! We can’t wait!

Meanwhile, the twins send out a big thank you to the MastersFX Toronto team. “Looking forward to making the next monster with you guys!” they say! Indeed, we are already looking forward to that “next monster” too!
