Film Review – Run Rabbit Run

The mysterious ways of trauma are explored in “Run Rabbit Run,” with screenwriter Hannah Kent using the world of horror to explore painful real-life realities when dealing with mistakes and family. It’s the story of a woman’s battle to understand her daughter’s newfound obsession with her mother’s history, with director Daina Reid working to balance a sense of suspense with an understanding of psychological erosion, aiming to give viewers a case of the creeps while examining dark spaces within the characters. Kent comes up with a relatively simple study of a nervous breakdown, but she finds interesting ways to extend the tale, while Reid conjures an atmosphere of terror that’s slow-burn and effective. “Run Rabbit Run” isn’t an aggressive genre experience, but something more sinister, supported by active performances and a distinct conclusion to make the journey worthwhile.
