Although I've seen this movie described as a slasher, that's not really accurate. Neither is it, as the title might suggest, a viral outbreak thriller. Instead the title refers to the way an inciting act of cruelty can spread out of control and bring paranoia, violence and death to anyone it touches. While the characters' actions may ocassionally strain credibility, I commend this unique approach to the horror genre, where orginality is often in short supply.

Don't waste your time with this piece of non credible rubbish. A lot of blood for not one scare. "As if's" all through the movie. Giving it one star instead of zero as the production of this non believable infectious, as in rabies, blood thirsty movie wasn't bad.

What a pile of garbage. Horrible movie. I am still scratching my head wondering what I just watched. There goes 1 hour and a half of my life.

There's a dog in 'Rabies', but it's not rabid. And there is a serial killer too, but he's not exactly centre stage in this innovative take on the slasher genre from Israel. Yes; I said Israel. In fact, nothing is quite what it seems and nobody acts quite the way you expect them to in what I rate as one of the best horror films I've seen this year. It's impossible to discuss the plot in much depth without giving too much away, but rest assured, this is clever, multi-layered film-making that will delight genre buffs.
