Any film in the ‘so bad it’s good’ category should have arisen as the result of accident, its subsequent cult status quite unintentional on the part of the hapless filmmakers involved. Those respons­ible for The Rage – in which a group of 20-somethings stumble upon a mad scientist’s lab – may long for a more innocent age of exploitation, but rather than the virus-infected killer vultures that waste so much of the movie’s running time this is simply a gore-spattered turkey from start to finish.
