All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Rabies (2010)

AKA: Kalevet

Director: Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado

Premise:
A group of friends traveling through a forest get intertwined with a serial killer, his prey, and the police.

My Take:
Billed as the first horror movie from Israel, this movie is not your typical slasher. The story is very creative on how it combines all the characters into the story. Plus the cinemaphotography looks great.
My biggest complaint is the movie often falls too much into the dark comedy with the choices made by some characters.
Give this above the norm flick a chance and I think you'll be happily surprised.

Rating: In the middle (but with many positives)
