What to Know

Critics Consensus

Run Rabbit Run boasts some powerhouse performances, but they're largely overwhelmed by a thin plot and overreliance on stale horror tropes.

Audience Says

Sarah Snook is the main reason to see Run Rabbit Run -- if you're in the mood for a really slow, unoriginal, and somewhat confusing movie, that is.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times A psychological thriller that’s mostly effective, even though its story is familiar and somewhat threadbare. Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Not everything works here. Too much is overfamiliar. But Run Rabbit Run retains a clammy grip throughout. Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2023 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian This is an well-made thriller about ghosts – of the past and present – that keeps one guessing until the end, and perhaps even afterwards. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2023 Full Review Rosalie Kicks MovieJawn RUN RABBIT RUN will follow me around like a shadow. It is going to take a while for me to shake this one. Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Srivatsan S The Hindu The Australian film does a neat job in creating an atmospheric horror but loses its command over the genre after a point. Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily The film rests squarely on the shoulders of Succession star Snook, who does a lot of heavy lifting, keeping us sympathetic right up to, and maybe even beyond, the point of revelation. parenthood.

Francesco P This movie is just waste of time. Nothing happening in each of the scenes, the plot is meaningless and the final "plot twist" is unoriginal and useless. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review KerryWhite's S Rating: 6/10. 67/100 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Cristian s Aterradora, usa el pretexto de fantasmas y reencarnaciones para contar una historia incluso mas perturbadora de lo que cualquiera de ellas puede llegar a ser. No es la típica película de sustos con golpes fuertes, va por la linea del terror psicológico que no es para todo el mundo y a la vez que te asusta realmente con lo que estas viendo (si uno le entiende y le presta atención, obviamente). Otra gran joyita australiana. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Pascal R Run Rabbit Run has some interesting ideas and tries to build some gripping dynamics, but is cut short due to its repetitive storytelling and thin emotional depth. The acting was one of the better parts of this movie, with Sarah Snook delivering the best performance. The cinematography was also one of the parts that I enjoyed throughout the movie. The most frustrating part for me was the repetitiveness of the writing. After establishing some good connections, the writing fails to move anywhere with the plot. It keeps repeating the same sequences over and over again. Because of this, the emotional connection to the characters is getting cut, which in turn makes the ending of this movie feel empty. Overall: Run Rabbit Run had some decent ideas but is failed by its boring writing. 5/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Steven M The road to a successful psychological thriller movie is one laden with potholes. These potholes form like any other: through weathering and deterioration over time and frequent travel. Over the years, we've seen an evolution in the genre, with many stand-out examples that stand the test of time, like Silence of the Lambs, Vertigo, and American Psycho. In fact, some of them set so good an example, directors and companies protrude from the woodwork and say "hey, I can do that, too!" This is where we find Run Rabbit Run, a 2023 Australian psychological thriller about the harrowing experience that a divorced mother and her daughter endure as they grapple with an unseen malevolence with ties to their past. From the get-go, this film gave me flashbacks to The Babadook with its creeping dread and fear of the unknown, wrapped into familial drama that would set any parent ablaze with terror. I really had high hopes for this. As a psych-thriller fan for many years, the set up was promising, the acting was markedly good, and the direction weaved together a lonely, tense world. This tension slowly applies itself to your psyche to set you on edge and alert for threats. The obvious choice to keep light on the jumpscares added even more points to the proverbial report card from me. The first act geniunely had me guessing what direction this film would take us... ...until act 2. The aforementioned potholes were trampled over with Run Rabbit Run's sizeable genre vehicle, with every bump further shaking me loose from the tension and sending me down the beaten path of predicibility - a trait even more disappointing in the horror genre. Creepy drawings of unseen horrors? Check. Small girl who says spooky things in traumatic situations? You bet. Scary mask? Certainly. Et cetra, et cetra. All in all, a solid horror flick for fans of the genre. I can see this pleasing those who are looking for a movie to analyze with their friends at a watch party, but here are some pro-tips: have a second movie on-deck if this one proves to be too slow, boring, and predictable for your horror-loving pals. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review LS_ N The movie had so much potential but just ended. It didn't explain anything that happened, we didn't get to see the resolution, no explanation on anything that happened just loose ends and a kid with a bad temper.
