Darcy (Dev Patel) and Daphne (Rosy McEwen) Davenport are freshly decamped from London and taking up residence in an isolated cottage deep in the Welsh countryside in search of creative renewal and acoustic inspiration. When the couple set about exploring their new environs, recording instruments in tow, Darcy stumbles upon a "faerie circle" that emits a strange, unidentifiable frequency; this odd discovery is followed closely by the appearance of an otherworldly child (Jade Croot) who claims to live nearby and is eager to befriend the Davenports. Soon the child becomes a fixture in their household, alternately ingratiating himself and raising suspicions, and exposing unacknowledged rifts and unexamined secrets that threaten to wreak psychological and spiritual havoc in the lives of his makeshift adoptive parents.

Siddhant Adlakha Variety Coasts on its interpretability alone. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting There’s no question that Chainey is a talented filmmaker, but Rabbit Trap gets so caught up in its stunning, poetic details that the larger picture becomes inscrutable and ineffective. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture For all of Rabbit Trap’s technical accomplishments, it’s very hard to be frightened or moved by something that never stops feeling like an exercise in style. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Hoai-Tran Bui Inverse An atmospheric horror film without much atmosphere or horror. Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net There are some intriguing ideas in this but it never amounts to much in the end, and the finale is rather lackluster. But I am enchanted by most of it anyway... Rated: 6.5/10 Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Opaque nature-driven Celtic folklore mystery. Rated: C= Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
