From its opening scene, “Run Rabbit Run” sets the tone that’ll be persistent throughout the entire film – doom and ample amounts of gloom. When we first see our protagonist Sarah (Sarah Snook), we’re shown what seems to be a haunting vision or potentially a premonition of her in a grisly marsh. This proves, at first, to be nothing more than a dream, and we’re then thrust into Sarah’s daily life as a fertility doctor. We’re also introduced to Mia (Lily LaTorre), Sarah’s daughter, with whom she seems to have a very healthy and loving relationship.

However, we quickly learn that one person Sarah doesn’t have a good relationship with is her mother, Joan (Greta Scacchi), whom she seems resistant to visiting at assisted living. Things then take a turn for the creepy when a lone rabbit turns up in Sarah’s home, which Mia quickly becomes smitten with. Following this, Mia begins wearing a crude paper rabbit mask, as well as becoming increasingly socially distant and emotionally short with her mother.

This all happens not long after the passing of Sarah’s father, with Sarah also hesitant to unpack, both literally and figuratively, her family’s past. Things get even weirder when Mia seems to abandon her true identity and begins calling herself Alice, the name of Sarah’s long-missing sister. There’s much more to unpack and analyze in “Run Rabbit Run,” but these are the key points that help set the stage for the film’s sinister events.
