New stills from Tribeca’s Israeli slasher Rabies

Israel recently produced their first-ever slasher flick. It’s known natively as KALEVET, but in English we call it RABIES. The film will make it’s North American premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival next month, and we got our hands on the first few stills from the picture. See them below.

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.

Turning genre conventions on their head with a smart script and plenty of unexpected scares, Rabies is a surprising debut worthy of its mantle as Israel’s first-ever slasher horror film.

The movie is co-directed and co-written by Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado. It stars Lior Ashkenazi, Ania Bukstein, Danny Geva, Yael Grobglas, Ran Danker, Ofer Shecter, who are all known Israeli actors.
