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.

it was good but a little confusing how she got to drinking blood like that , did the doctor did when he did surgery or did she had to before and it woke up when she was in a coma .
I understand why its a beloved cult classic!
Wait. . . so. . . was it the doctor's experiment that gave her that stinger, like it triggered some kind of DNA mutation? I'm so confused. The movie was well done, I'm just lost as hell on that.
a very well done movie from the 1970s. not as much gore as the description states put nonetheless a good watch.
It was pretty good
