  • Run Rabbit Run follows seven-year-old Mia after she finds a white rabbit on her birthday and becomes convinced she remembers being another person.
  • Mia says she was once Alice, her mother Sarah’s younger sister, who disappeared when the sisters were seven.
  • As the memories return, Sarah must confront a family secret, while the rabbit’s presence takes on a disturbing meaning.

Some horror films rely on monsters, murders or sudden shocks. Run Rabbit Run chooses something quieter and more unsettling: a child, a white rabbit and a memory that seems to come from another life.

On her seventh birthday, Mia finds the rabbit sitting on the steps of her home. She quickly grows attached to it, but her mother, Sarah, feels uneasy from the beginning. When Sarah tries to get rid of the animal, its reaction changes the relationship between mother and daughter.

The story then moves beyond a child’s attachment to a new pet. Mia begins claiming that she remembers being Alice, Sarah’s younger sister, who disappeared when both girls were seven. As fragments of the past return, Sarah faces a family secret that has followed her throughout her life.

The rabbit’s arrival also appears far from accidental. The film leaves open whether Alice sent it so Mia would suffer the same fate, or whether Alice herself has returned to settle accounts with her sister. Run Rabbit Run is available on Netflix.
