If you think Scanners was violent then "Rabid" was that much more violent. This is very graphic film be warned. However since I am a Croneberg I saw the film the film a while back.

Tissue from other parts of her body are used in a skin graph, (nothing new there.) So the girl needs the skin graph on her breast face and arm. As you know, a skin graph will still leave a scar.
