Can you say bloody? The creepy confines of the woods provide the perfect setting for RABIES, Israel’s first-ever horror film. A sexy, campy, and clever game of murder, it involves a young couple who happen to be brother and sister, a deranged cop and his lovesick partner, and a group of tennis playing friends. An impressive cast of Israel’s leading actors is drawn into a whirlwind of dark secrets, mix-ups and bloody mayhem. Adult content.
Followed by "Can You Say 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' in Yiddish?: Thinking About Jewish Horror", a discussion with scholars Jeremy Dauber, Columbia University, and Adam Lowenstein, University of Pittsburgh.

Winner - Best Feature - Mile High Horror Film Festival
