Here’s a little more about the film from Writer/Producer/Director Paul J. Porter:
CliToday’s
horror films have lost the charm and fun of the classics from my favorite
period for the films- the late 70’s and early 80’s. Films like ‘An
American Werewolf in London’, ‘Jaws’, ‘The Howling’, and ‘Friday the 13th’ were
among the first horror films I ever saw and they left a lasting impression of
what I think constitutes a good one.
‘Rabid
Love’ takes place in 1984 and is a rejuvenation of these classic films. 1984 in
America was a time of prosperity and light, despite the dwindling Cold War. As
a young child in the 80’s, the time period holds a special place in my mind as
a mixture of dreams and memories. The look and feel of the era comes
through in the settings, props, wardrobe, and most importantly, the characters
of the film.
‘Rabid
Love’ uses some of the most recognizable characters and conventions of the
genre to create familiarity, and then launches the genre in surprising and
uncharted territory with a web of mystery and love triangles that are further
complicated as the story progresses.
The
style of ‘Rabid Love’ pulls heavily from the visual and thematic elements
established in the films that influence it so much. Effortlessly shifting
between our young, happy campers and a darker world; the narrative immediately
sets the tone as one of foreboding danger that will creates tension throughout
the film.
The movie is currently in post-production so be on the look out for it soon!
