Run Rabbit Run

Was it the best movie I've ever seen? No.

It felt a little long and drawn out, but production quality and acting was strong. Even the storyline ended up coming full circle and giving the audience resolution and answers to the questions which I really appreciated. Usually this type of movie will end up leaving you to feel confused or they'll leave you on a cliff hanger. I appreciate that things were explained and that the story made sense in the end.

I loved the creepy/eerie shots. Like when they would stare at the black hole in the fireplace or staring into the black empty dresser. I feel like the storyline compares to movies like Hide and Seek (2005) or The Watcher (2022), but it had a very dark, unsettling, eerie feeling that compared to The Witch (2015) and Hereditary (2018). It's nowhere near as scary as either or those movies, but the music and camera work had similarities.

If you enjoy thriller or horror, then I think it's worth a try. Especially with the lack of horror movies and thrillers on the market right now.

While the premise may not have been anything groundbreaking as it resembles films and themes we've seen before, Sarah Snook delivers a sensational and captivating performance that is well worth it. An absolute joy to watch and definitely an actor to keep your eye on in the years to come as she continues to prove herself as one of the most talented actors of her generation. The cinematography is another strong point in this film with Australia playing an impressive part in the mise-en-scene. And hats off to the young Lily LaTorre for her eerie and dedicated performance. It may not be as fast paced of a film as a lot of moviegoers hope for but it offers ample space for the nuanced performances by our two leads.

What a waste of talent. It's just a silly stupid movie. It was definitely not horrifying, it was just in bad taste. There is a difference. I don't for a minute believe Elizabeth Moss was ever going to make this movie. I think they used that to snooker Sarah Snook into doing the movie and shame on them. I'm sure she was probably also enticed by it being made in her homeland and she was expecting a baby, I think, about that time or just had a baby so there was a lot going on as well as wrapping up "Succession". Anyway I look forward to her future work in worthy pieces.

Be smart. Don't get suckered into lesser works.

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.

I wouldn't call Run Rabbit Run a horror movie... It's much more a traditional ghost story. The acting and directing is decent but the pacing is a little odd... Maybe we need a little more time with the characters at the beginning to care more about what they're experiencing. It's hard to relate to the main character because we don't know a lot about her and aren't really shown any redeemable/relatable qualities we can latch on to as she starts to confront the strange goings-on around her. Overall I found it watchable but caught myself getting distracted as I watched it so I don't think I was very invested. It wasn't bad enough for me to turn it off but I also doubt I'll ever watch it again.
