A brother and sister in their twenties run away from home after their dark secret is discovered. They find temporary refuge in a deserted nature reserve. When the sister falls into a hunting trap, set by a psychotic killer, the brother sets out in a race against time to rescue her. A forest ranger and his old dog, two apathetic cops, four tennis players and a murderer, wandering carefree amongst his traps, will all be gradually drawn into a whirlwind of misunderstandings, fears and violence.

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.
