This month, Horror Channel highlights the work of female genre talent with the Channel premieres of Rabid , the Soska Sisters visceral remake of David Cronenberg's body horror classic and The Cleaning Lady , written by and starring
Alexis Kendra (Goddess of Love), who also produced the much-acclaimed twisted psychological chiller. Rabid (on the 12th) is the hugely welcomed remake of David Cronenberg's body horror classic from directors, The Soska Sisters. It
received its World Premiere at FrightFest 2019 before being released worldwide. They are the first filmmakers to re-imagine one of Cronenberg's films and the fellow Canadian was very impressed with the results. What happens when you realise to achieve
your dreams you have to live a nightmare? Rose (Laura Vandervoort) wants to become a famous designer in the fashion world, but a terrible accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition. Undergoing a radical untested stem cell treatment, wallflower Rose
turns into the belle of the ball and starts to realise her ambitions. But everything in life comes at a price and Rose's new found perfection is no exception as she unwittingly sets off a bloody spiral of contagion. Based on a
short film of the same name, The Cleaning Lady (26th June) was written by Alexis Kendra who originally wrote the role of Shelly for herself to reprise, but she and director Jon Knautz felt that Rachel Alig was so perfect for the role, that she switched
to the role of Alice instead. This is the second time Kendra and Knautz have teamed up, following the success of The Goddess of Love. As a means to distract herself from an affair with a married man, love-addicted beautician Alice (Alexis Kendra,
pictured) befriends her soft-spoken, reclusive cleaning lady Shelley (Rachel Alig), facially scarred by burns from a traumatic childhood incident. Soon everyone caught in Alice's infidelity trap learns to their dread that Shelley's scars run much deeper
than they ever suspected.
