SYNAPSE

Watched "Rabid", directed by David Cronenberg, a few days ago.

When I was young I thought that "Rabies" were baby rabbits. Later, at the doctors I saw a terrifying poster showing an X-ray of a human skull with the word "Rabies" emblazoned across it, and I learnt it was a dangerous medical condition.

Even now when I hear the word "rabies" I do a quick mental shuffle of those images - cute, fluffy bunny rabbits; human skull x-ray - rabies.

"Rabid" was pretty good, but I preferred Cronenberg's "Shivers".
