- Synopsis:
- When beautiful Rose (Marilyn Chambers) winds up in a terrible motorcycle crash, she's rushed to a nearby clinic where she's treated by Dr. Keloid (Howard Ryshpan), who seizes the opportunity to test out his revolutionary new skin-graft technique. The surgery appears successful and Rose seems restored to full health. But all is not as it should be - Rose has been transformed into a contagious blood-sucker, endowed with a bizarre, needle-like protrusion in her armpit with which she drains the blood from those unfortunate enough to cross her path.

David Cronenberg's films got better - Rabid review by AER
Hysterically pitched Canadian horror by national treasure David Cronenberg is big on memorable, cool set-pieces and body horror but fails to delve below the surface of its nutty non-characters.
