Review of Rabies (2010) by Nfs R — 01 Feb 2013
A brother and sister who have run away from home. A car full of teens who have taken a wrong turn. A park ranger and his wife. Two questionable cops. What do all of these people have in common? They are lost in the woods with a psychopathic serial killer, who has set a series of sinister traps all throughout the park. RABIES is touted as being Israel's first venture into the Slasher genre, and it makes quite an entrance! Writer/Director team Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado take what would normally be familiar characters, settings, and situations, and create something wholly original. The pair introduce us to five distinct sets of characters, and manage to strike an intricate balance between them as the film progresses. Each new scene brings new surprises and unexpected twists at every turn, keeping audience members on edge from beginning to end! Keshales and Papushado have a gift for framing and editing each shot for maximum impact, which drives the tension and pitch-black humor higher than ever. Sharper than SEVERANCE, more clever than THE COTTAGE... RABIES takes the game of survival to a whole new level!
