North America prepares to catch the virus on DVD and VOD March 4th, 2014

About the Film
In Rabid Love, a stereotypical weekend camping trip gets bloody when a stranger insinuates his way into the group and people start showing up dead. Is it a large wild animal? A blood-thirsty psychopath? Or maybe a mad scientist's super rabies virus infecting the friends one by one? Viewers will just have to find out for themselves by watching this unique slasher, stylishly made in homage to the 80's slashers that raised a generation of horror fans.

Written and directed by Paul J. Porter, Rabid Love stars Jessica Sonneborn (Bloody Bloody Bible Camp), Hayley Derryberry, Josh Hammond (Jeepers Creepers 2), and Brandon Stacy.

Synopsis
A group of recent college grads on a final camping trip together pursue their own agendas when it comes to relationships but must put aside their differences and try to survive when one of them disappears and something in the forest starts killing the rest.

Acort International Acquires Rabid Love for Worldwide Distribution

Acort International, one of the top distributors of independent films in the global marketplace, has recently acquired Rogue Taurus Productions’ classic 80's throwback horror film “Rabid Love” for international and US distribution. Distribution plans are currently in consideration which will include a North American DVD on the indie-horror label Midnight Releasing and cable/satellite/internet VOD run as well as being showcased at this year’s 2013 American Film Market.

About The Film:
Rabid Love takes place in 1984 and is a rejuvenation of classic films like 'An American Werewolf in London', 'Friday the 13th', 'Evil Dead', and 'The Howling'. As a young child in the 80’s, the time period holds a special place for director Paul J. Porter as a mixture of dreams and memories. Rabid Love is not a gory slasher film, but a thrilling and nostalgic story about unique characters with their own motivations and desires. They just happen to catch the attention of an evil recluse living in the woods and become the subjects of his latest experiment when all they wanted was a happy weekend with their friends before they all went their separate ways to their post-college lives.

“I made it a point to bring the look and feel of the era through in the settings, props, wardrobe, and most importantly, the characters of the film.” – Director Paul J. Porter
