When brother and sister runaways, who have sought refuge in a nature reserve, are separated by a psychopath, the brother sets out to find help in a race against time. The rescue is itself an ordeal. The brother enlists the aid of a forest ranger and his old dog, two apathetic cops and four tennis players, all of whom, through misunderstandings, insecurity and violence, will be drawn closer to the killer and a gauntlet of fear, no one suspects. An original, unsettling and uncompromising thriller, Rabies goes for the jugular but you will wish it had stopped there.
