Satanists come to town. They brutalize a young woman. When her grandfather, a veterinarian, goes to confront them, they rough him up, force him to take LSD and send him home.
So the 11-year-old brother/grandson takes matters into his hands. You have to admire him for that, but it turns out that infecting people with rabies can backfire. It quicky infects some workers who come to the tiny community to help.
They took the term "hydrophobia" too literally. In this movie, you can ward off the zombie-like rabies victims with a garden hose or by splashing water on them.
I'll warn you, though. It would have been a perfectly nice movie about a child getting even with Satan worshipers if they hadn't done terrible things to animals. They didn't kill any on camera, but there was a dead chicken, a number of dead rats and a dead goat. Why do they do that?
The kid in it, Riley Mills, had been a stage actor. He has two credits on IMDb---this and an episode Family Affair. The poor guy died in 2001 at age 42.
