When brother and sister runaways, who have sought refuge in a nature reserve, are separated by a psychopath, the brother sets out to find help in a race against time. The rescue is itself an ordeal. The brother enlists the aid of a forest ranger and his old dog, two apathetic cops and four tennis players, all of whom, through misunderstandings, insecurity and violence, will be drawn closer to the killer and a gauntlet of fear, no one suspects.

A bit yes, a bit no. Rabies is a pretty interesting take on the forest slasher genre, it looks like a serious version of Tucker & Dale vs Evil. Technically it’s excellent, the creators clearly knew what the resulting film should be like, but I’m still not thrilled or particularly satisfied. Some of the initial twists, which put the characters into an everyone against everyone situation, felt very forced. By this I mean that I didn’t believe that something like that could happen in a real world not written by screenwriters. This would not be a problem in a film where a group of teenagers are killed by a swamp monster, but it simply bothers me in a realistic thriller like this.
