After reviewing hundreds of Israeli features, film critic Aharon Keshlers decided to direct his own movie but not yet another Israeli war film or drama genre, but rather a 'slasher'. Along with director Aharon Papouchado, the two are presenting "Rabies"-a movie which tells the story of a group of young teenagers being stalked and hunted down in a deserted dense forest. The actors who were chosen to play murderers and murderees are all a-list actors such as Ofer Shechter, Ania Buckshtein and Lior Ashkenazi. The two directors declared that making this movie was beyond fulfilling a dream. Keshler stated that he never dared to dream, not even in his pinkest, or rather reddest fantasies that he would find himself doing what he is so passionate for.
