Rabid
Directed by David Cronenberg
In David Cronenberg’s must-see cult favorite, a woman named Rose (porn star Marilyn Chambers) develops a thirst for blood after receiving experimental surgery. When Rose wakes up, she finds a stinger under her armpit which she uses to feed off victims, who later turn rabid and attack others. RABID is body horror as only Cronenberg can do, with sex and death inextricably linked thanks to Rose’s phallic parasite. Chambers gamely made the leap to “respectable” films, and die-hard disco fans may recognize her bizarro single “Benihana” playing over one particularly nasty attack. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

This was very interesting. I'm glad that Shudder gives me the chance to catch up on these cult classics that came out before my time. The armpit stinger was an intruiging concept, and had me very confused at first as to how she hurt people. Definitely enjoyed it, and am going to lookup more of David Cronenberg's work.
