While Chambers does add some resonance to the film as a sexual icon, her acting ability is decidedly limited.

Here is an extremely violent, sometimes nauseating, picture about a young woman affected with rabies, running around Montreal infecting others.

Not Cronenberg at his peak, but neither is it without interest.
