Admit it: You would totally want to watch Shiv from Succession go toe to toe with a supernatural bad bunny.
That’s how Run Rabbit Run sells itself initially, or at least it’s the general direction that this Australian horror film points you toward. You’ve got Sarah Snook, a strong contender among many for the Most Valuable Player of HBO’s hit show, playing a single mother — also named Sarah — who’s already a little edgy when we meet her. And you’ve got a mysterious rabbit that shows up on her doorstep,...

Sarah Snook is stuck in a twisted game of hide and seek with the daughter she thought she knew.
The “Succession” actress leads Daina Reid’s feature directorial debut “Run Rabbit Run,” which premiered at 2023 Sundance. Snook plays Sarah, a mother and fertility doctor whose own daughter Mia’s behavior drastically becomes more and more unhinged upon her seventh birthday. A surprise pet rabbit present unlocks Mia’s (Lily Latorre) memories of a supposed past life, and sending Sarah down a rabbit hole of horror.
Damon Herriman and Greta Scacchi also star.
Director Reid has previously helmed episodes of “The Shining Girls” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” both starring Elisabeth Moss who was once attached to “Run Rabbit Run.” The script is penned by Australian novelist Hannah Kent, with an original idea developed by Carver Films. Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw of Carver serve as producers, with Snook executive producing along with director Reid.

When we first heard about the horror thriller project Run Rabbit Run back in 2020, The Invisible Man‘s Elisabeth Moss was set to star in the film – but by the time it went into production, Emmy nominee Sarah Snook, best known for her role on the HBO series Succession, had taken the lead. The film will be available to watch through the Netflix streaming service as of June 28th, and with that date swiftly approaching Netflix has unveiled a trailer. You can check it out in the embed above.
JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch Run Rabbit Run at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and his 7/10 review can be read at This Link.

Following a premiere at Sundance 2023, where Netflix picked up the psychological horror film for an undisclosed sum, the streaming service has set a June 28 release date and unveiled the first trailer for "Run Rabbit Run." With Sarah Snook ("Succession") in the lead, Australian director Daina Reid's second feature film is about a single mother and fertility doctor named Sarah (Snook) who is shaken by her 7-year-old daughter Mia's (Lily Latorre) strange behavior and "inexplicable memories of a past identity."
The connection, as the "Run Rabbit Run" trailer reveals, is Sarah's late sister Alice who had an interest in wild rabbits and went missing when she was just seven years old. Mia turns out to have both things in common with Alice when she takes a liking to a rabbit that appears on their doorstep. You know where this is going, right? Mia believes she's Alice and seemingly begins turning on her mother,...

The first trailer for Netflix’s horror thriller Run Rabbit Run, starring Succession star Sarah Snook, has dropped.
The clip shows the fraught relationship between a mother (Snook) and her daughter (Lily Latorre) as the latter begins to act strangely. The film also stars Damon Herriman, Greta Scacchi and Trevor Jamieson.
Filmed in Melbourne, Run Rabbit Run is directed by Aussie filmmaker Daina Reid, known for helming episodes of the television series The Shining Girls and The Handmaid’s Tale, with a script by Hannah Kent.
The Hollywood Reporter‘s review described Run Rabbit Run as “moody and atmospheric” and that it “easily builds tension and dread.”
The feature premiered at Sundance this year as part of the festival’s horror-centric Midnight selections. Netflix acquired the global rights, aside from some territories where deals are already in place.

Following in the footsteps of The Babadook and Hereditary, Run Rabbit Run adds a layer of generational analysis to horror depictions of motherhood. Though mothers have always been at the center of horror stories, the focus of the narrative has recently shifted. Filmmakers have become more interested in the question of what the existence of a child reveals about the mother, rather than the more primal parental fears. These stories often speak to the millennial desire to not reproduce, either due to the state of the world or more pointedly, the fear of “messing up” a child with neuroses and generational trauma. It would be ahistorical to say that horror only just began tackling trauma. The genre has always explored and provided commentary on the nature of trauma. But as the very concept of “trauma” becomes more popular, the allusions to it in genre cinema have become more literal.

Not surprisingly given its country of origin, Australia, or its subject matter, the fraught, conflicted, inter- and intra-generational relationships between mothers and daughters, Daina Reid and Hannah Kent’s chilling, if overlong, psychological horror film, Run Rabbit Run, brings Jennifer Kent’s 2014 cult-classic The Babadook immediately to mind. Unfortunately, any comparisons to The Babadook won’t do Reid and Kent’s repetitive, if often effective, film any favors. To be fair, few modern horror films, regardless of country of origin, would compare well to The Babadook’s unflinching character study of a single, widowed mother suffering a psychological break under extreme duress, natural and supernatural. When we first meet Run Rabbit Run’s protagonist, Sarah (Sarah Snook), a fertility doctor and single mother to a preteen, Mia (Lily Latorre), little...

Run Rabbit Run, the latest from director Daina Reid, has all the ingredients of the modern mother-daughter horror film. There are the strung-out bass notes and dissonant metallic clangs. There are the cute, unexpectedly vicious animals attempting to become blatant metaphors. There are the disturbing black-crayon drawings that suggest something demonic. And then there is the central strained, maternal relationship that devolves into a psychological game of wills and triggers old trauma into a chaotic climax.
In this sense, Reid’s movie leans into its tropes enough to fulfill the requirements of the genre––it earns its creep in jolting blows and unsettling exchanges. So why does it feel so hollow? The story, written by Hannah Kent, turns generational secrets into paranormal (or are they?) disturbances, well-worn subject matter over the last several years––most notably in other Australian horrors like Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook and 2020 Sundance entry Relic.

When we meet fertility doctor Sarah Gregory she’s well put together, professional, and leading a neat and tidy life. By the time we say goodbye to Sarah, everything’s gotten messy and her grip on reality has been pried loose. What transpires that forces this decay in her mental state is alternatingly terrifying and disappointingly predictable in Run Rabbit Run.
Succession’s Sarah Snook stars as Sarah, mom to Mia and ex-wife of Pete. Sarah’s raising Mia and doing a terrific job of it until the day of Mia’s seventh birthday. The first hint of something unusual comes when Mia announces that she misses people she’s never met all the time. Sarah finds that quirky but brushes it off, unaware that statement’s about to play an integral role in what happens next.

Plot: A divorced mother (Sarah Snook), reeling from the recent death of her father, begins to have disturbing interactions with her daughter, Mia (Lily Latorre), who has started having inexplicable temper tantrums.
Review: Run Rabbit Run is a low-key psychological thriller offering star Sarah Snook an excellent showcase. Already famous for her role on Succession (and a cult icon for the underrated Predestination), Snook is expertly cast as Sarah, a fertility doctor amid a harrowing ordeal. When we first meet her character, Sarah, she seems to have a decent life, despite his lingering disappointment over the disintegration of her marriage to her decent ex (Damon Herriman). She’s civil with her ex’s new family and has an idyllic relationship with her daughter, Mia, who she affectionately calls Bunny. Yet, coinciding with the arrival of a rabbit who wanders into their home, Mia throws weird tantrums. At first, her behavior is just annoying,...

A predictably terrific Sarah Snook goes full-blown feral in the Australian horror movie “Run Rabbit Run,” but its final-act destination isn’t enough to justify the journey.
Directed by Daina Reid from a screenplay by Hannah Kent, “Run Rabbit Run” largely tears from the playbook of similar recent horror titles about mothers wracked by grief and trauma who are staring down supernatural events that confront them with their strained relationships with their own mothers and children. But the screenplay has so many dizzying leaps in logic and never quite establishes the world it purports to build — are the onscreen happenings supernatural, or merely Grand Guignol freakout hallucination? Either possibility turns out to be disappointing.
Sarah Snook, trading in her Shiv Roy “Succession” old-money aesthetic for linen Banana Republic Outback chic, unbuttons as never before here as a fertility doctor also named Sarah. She lives in a South Australian suburb with her small daughter,...

After a string of incredible performances in Queen of Earth, Her Smell, The Invisible Man, Shirley, and more, Elisabeth Moss will next be seen in new films from Wes Anderson and Taika Waititi. Another new project starring the actress has now been announced, which finds her returning to horror-thriller territory.
She’ll lead Run Rabbit Run, which is being described as a “ghost horror thriller,” according to THR. Set to be directed by Australian helmer Daina Reid, it’ll mark a reunion for the duo after Reid directed a few episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale.
The film, scripted by Hannah Kent (Burial Rites), follows Moss as Sarah, a fertility doctor with a pragmatic understanding of the circle of life. Things get complicated when she “is forced to make sense of the increasingly strange behavior of her young daughter, Mia” and “Sarah must challenge her own beliefs and confront a ghost from her past.

Shortly thereafter it was revealed there might not be any truth to the story whatsoever, even Terrio was reported to have no knowledge of the project moving forward at the Weinstein Co. and he never met with Russell. A year later, the film hasn't been heard from since, but Jennifer Lawrence has her Oscar, and it appears history may be repeating itself. According to reports, Russell and Lawrence are preparing to reteam on a film based on the life of Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop, for Fox 2000.

If you’ve ever lived in a city that has an active public transportation system, you may be able to sympathize with a growing issue I have been facing lately – the overwhelming and keen possibility that I am going to miss my subway or bus stop because I have my nose buried in a book so engrossing that I have significant, measureable trouble putting back in my bag when it’s time to move about like a normal person. Published back in September, “Burial Rites” is Aussie Hannah Kent’s first novel, a historically based tale of murder and mystery in isolated Iceland that may sound dry and wonky, but is one of the most enthralling novels I’ve read all year.

Oscar-winning actor could reunite with Hunger Games director Gary Ross for tense drama based on Hannah Kent novel
• News: Jennifer Lawrence 'told to diet' to save career
• Watch the trailer for American Hustle
