The story, Rabbit, begins with Maude (Clemens) having a powerful dream about her missing twin sister, Cleo. The dream is so realistic that Maude decides to go back to her hometown of Adelaide to check on the progress of the investigation. Once there, she joins forces with Ralph (Russell) and Detective Henry (Pasvolsky) to pursue a clue from her dream.

As Maude investigates further, she stumbles into a troubling situation. Every direction she takes leads to new and unexpected dangers, and she quickly realizes she’s not ready for what she finds.

Verdict on Rabbit

Rabbit is a suspenseful horror film about a woman haunted by dreams of her long-lost twin sister. When she goes back home to uncover the truth, she’s pulled into a bizarre and unsettling reality she never expected.

This film follows Maude on a bizarre and unexpected quest for the truth. While the story takes some surprising turns, it occasionally gets bogged down in unnecessary complexity, and certain elements don’t quite fit together. Ultimately, the movie feels like it had the potential to be much more, and a more complete story could have really delivered.

Final Thoughts – Rabbit is a strange film that doesn’t quite connect.
