Tribeca ’11 REVIEW: Israeli Slasher ‘Rabies’ Misguided
In the first ever Israeli slasher film Rabies, a psychotic serial killer on the loose in the woods crosses paths with a group of unsuspecting teenagers. Soon people are dying one by one… but the bad guy isn’t who you think…
The film made its North American premiere this past weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival where Bloody Disgusting’s John Marrone was on hand to bring you back the first word:
“Inaccurately billed as a slasher film…RABIES is a tug of war of a horror film, pulling you back and forth between expectation and originality, plot discourse and unpredictability, reason and randomness.”
You’ll find his full review by clicking the title above, while we just got our hands on the official poster that you can dig on inside.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
