Rabid with a female lens isn't camp, it isn't satire. The Soska Sisters's take on Cronenberg's cannibalistic horror film is full of empty calories.

It's possible this remake could grow on me when I take the time to watch it again. Here's hoping that ends up being the case.

[The Soskas] have a wickedly funny sense of humor, and a few winningly nasty ideas.

The Soska Sisters retain the bones of the story but shift their focus to Rose's inner life as she transmutes into a form she doesn't understand.
