Daina Reid’s Run Rabbit Run is certainly one of those films about a white woman literally haunted by her grief or trauma. Succession‘s Sarah Snook plays Sarah, a divorced doctor whose painful family history leaves her to raise her daughter Mia (Lily LaTorre) on her own. But Mia starts exhibiting strange behavior. What follows is a tepid attempt to recreate the bottled-up pressure cooker of Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook, without any of the emotional rawness and expert craft. Snook herself is the MVP here, making the most out of the star turn she’s been given. Yet, it’s tiring to see this film wander down the same narrative roads we’ve seen a bunch of times before, and done much better. The voice-of-reason ex-husband, the creepy grandma who knows more than she’s letting on, the trite hallucinations that offer up the closest thing this film has to scares. And it’s all capped off with a twist you’ve already guessed 25 minutes in, leaving you checking your watch as you wait for the rest of the film to catch up. It’s just a little too incomplete to work on its own terms.
