Run Rabbit Run

I usually like this kind of film and I wholeheartedly went into it since there were only 2 reviews at the time! If I had known that this film is so slow and makes you hoping something, just something please happen, I wouldn't have wasted my time! That's essentially how I feel , that I wasted my time! Even though I have to applaud the acting abilities of the main character and even her daughter the movie just stretched on and on. The film deals with the concept of something bad happened in the past but the main protagonist doesn't remember ( or does she?) We are made believe that the grand mother is evil ( but is she , really?) What role does the grand father play in all this? Without giving anything away there was not much horror and suspense, not enough to keep me from pausing and getting up several times to do chores ! The ending also is very disappointing! Overall the whole film feels spliced together with different people popping in and out at different times and having no impact on the story! I don't think it's worth watching but if you don't mind the slow pace go ahead!

Sarah Snook definitely nailed the part. She was the film's saving grace. All the actors were fantastic.

But alas, this movie was just too slow. I understand the need for character development, but there were just too many disjointed holes and illogical decisions made in the plot.

Also, why is it so trendy all of a sudden to make so-called horror movies so crazily dark? Don't these people have lights in their homes?

Little, Mia, or Alice, or whomever, doesn't do anything anyone tells her, so why does her mum keep leaving her in the house and telling her not to leave? What does she think is going to happen?

The movie is a bit of a mess, but still watchable. I wound up hating the mom, lol.

The writers tried to commingle supernatural elements with psychological thriller elements, in what ended up being a terrible sequence of events. Ultimately I found the story flat and nondescript. With a different set of hands, I think this movie could have been fulfilling and exciting.

Sarah Snook delivers a good, but perhaps unmemorable performance as the troubled mother. It got annoying to hear her shout "Mia!" every five minutes and to see her scold, physically hurt, and discipline her daughter.

Any scenes with Joan or Denise were unsubstantial. Also Mia's drawings added nothing of horror to this picture. It's a rudimentary Netflix-produced movie with a poor script and unexplained symbolism.

What a disappointment. A good premise and an interesting first act that leads nowhere. A film that constantly revolves around the same thing, wrapped in a web that it can't unravel, becoming repetitive, unengaging, and predictable. Grief, trauma and a sense of guilt are big themes here and they proportionate some good scenes, but it becomes too much of the same, not justifying its duration at all.

Sarah Snook tries to swim against the tide, but even she becomes tiresome, having to go in circles in this story. To top it off, an ending that doesn't reward us for anything at all. This should have been good.

'Run Rabbit Run' is everything I hate in a horror film. An unrealistic story, that isn't scary or horrifying in any way and features extremely annoying characters that are impossible to care for. This was a tough watch for all the wrong reasons.

The film has no point. It has no reason for the audience to be invested. There are no stakes. You could say we are supposed to be curious about the explanation to what is going on, but the film isn't exactly subtle. We have the gist of what is happening, we just need some minor details filled in. It isn't enough.

But if you're in the mood for 100 minutes of a mother and daughter screaming at each other then this might just be the film for you. However, if you're like me and that sounds like the worst thing in the world, then chances are you'll detest watching this one as much as I did. 3/10.
