Rabid
The second David Cronenberg film on this list jumps even earlier in his career, to a film that helped establish him as the king of body horror. If you caught Prime Video’s Rachel Weisz-starring update of Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, you already know zombie tale Rabid gets a shout-out, but the actual 1977 film is way more intricately grotesque than that homage makes it out to be.
