Israel’s first horror film has been celebrated by gore lovers around the world. When a young girl falls into a hunting trap, set by a psychotic killer, her brother sets out in a race against time to rescue her – and that’s just the first five minutes.

With much tongue-in-cheek humor – and lots of blood – Rabies is such fun because it revels in its own excessiveness, while playing with all the conventions and themes of the genre.

Shot in 19 days on a shoestring budget, the film has also been greeted by such high profile film festivals as Tribeca and Edinburgh. It is also an impressive directorial debut starring some of Israel’s biggest young actors, and worthy of its mantle as Israel’s first-ever horror film.

“Is it a wickedly clever polemic on fear and rage in Israeli society? Or just an excuse to see someone caught in a bear trap? Either way, consider yourself warned: There will be blood.”(San Francisco Jewish Film Festival)

Oy, the horror!

“Brilliantly devious, suspense filled… Rabies is a pleasure.” (Yair Reve, Cinemascope)

“Refreshing, exciting, funny… as sharp a skewer.” (Uri Klein, Haartez)
