Rabies Reviews

The first ever Israel horror movie. It sounds interesting enough so I thought I would go ahead and check it out. The ratings are not the worst either. The director/writer duo have done one other film I plan to see as well as having done a segment of ABC's of Death 2. Their segment had been a fairly good one. So let us see what they do with a feature length.

I wonder why they chose to open this like that. It kind of gave the feeling of a movie within a movie. Okay I think I understand why they chose that title for the movie. It makes sense and I think it's actually pretty creative. The whole thing is pretty insane and wild. It's quite brutal at times. Once scene in particular had me messed up. There are some pretty unpredictable moments too which kept making my jaw drop. The only thing that I was disappointed with was the ending. It sort of just ended. It has many subplots some of which are dismissed or just not really put in depth. It also doesn't really explain what's going on with some things. There is a little scene in the midcredits too that is kind of amusing. Anyways it was still a rather enjoyable watch. With some tweaks this could have been even more superb.

The characters were all great and the actors played them well. I was kind of disappointed with how some of them were used and such. The only characters I would say I really didn't like were Yuval and the killer. I thought everyone else was pretty likable except maybe some of the actions that they do here and there. I felt really bad for some of the characters as some pretty messed up stuff happens.

It's an excellent first attempt at horror in Israel. I wouldn't say it's a typical sort of horror. It's actually pretty original if you ask me. I didn't know what to expect from this before or even during watching it. The characters were quite interesting and I would have to say not too cliche either. The actors were remarkable in their roles as well. It's not extreme, but it is fairly brutal. I swear foreign horror just seems to know whats up. It could use some work on completing subplots, but overall it was a quite enjoyable thrill ride. I highly recommend giving this one a shot especially if you are looking for something different in horror.
