In the new FX drama The Veil, a colleague of British spy Imogen Salter pleads with her to change strategy on a new undercover assignment. “Please don’t speak to the real me,” she replies. “It is extremely unhelpful.”
The Veil repeatedly tries to figure out where the line exists between this persona and the real her, whose name isn’t even Imogen. The problem is that the version of the series about “Imogen” is vastly more entertaining, but the show mostly seems interested in her true identity.

We meet Elisabeth Moss’ Portia in the first scene of FX’s new Hulu drama The Veil, striding confidently through a busy international airport, stiletto heels precariously high, her mouth a gash of crimson lipstick. She’s meeting a shady businessman named Tomas, and they toast to a transaction successfully made. But several seconds later, Interpol rushes in and she chides Tomas for all the criminal details he spilled in the previous 37 days. She walks away, leaving him fuming and in custody.
Her name isn’t actually Portia. As she leaves, aspect and tone instantly changed, she’s already arranging her next destination — Istanbul — and her next identity, telling a person on the telephone, “I would like my name to be Imogen.” She will be Imogen for the rest of The Veil.
It’s here, two minutes into the show, that eagle-eyed viewers and English majors should already be putting together certain pieces.

Daina Reid's "Run Rabbit Run," now streaming on Netflix, is a slow burn that never quite unravels the truth, leaving the audience with more questions than answers. The film constantly obfuscates reality, forcing viewers to wonder what is genuine, supernatural, or the psychological unbalance of the main character Sarah. Sarah Snook gives a hard-edged performance as a single mother whose daughter Mia (an adorably eerie Lily Latorre) has started imitating her sister Alice who has been missing since she was a little girl.
In an interview with Nightmarish Conjurings, Reid says that her film explores "what happens when you suppress an incredibly traumatic event" and "notions of culpability." Reid filters Sarah's intense, repressed emotions through perplexing scenes that prompt doubt about whether or not what you're looking at is real or in Sarah's head. Alongside this psychological tension is familiar horror iconography: a seemingly possessed child, unexplained nosebleeds, and...

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,...

Is grief the new trend in horror media? I’m not sure if I’m the only one noticing this pattern in a lot of horror movies lately; Smile, The Boogeyman, and M3GAN are what I can think of off the top of my head, but it’s definitely a theme many are exploring recently. Run Rabbit Run definitely doesn’t fall into the popcorn category that the aforementioned movies do, but it does follow some jump scare tropes that don’t pay off because of the slow-burn direction the movie actually takes. There’s an eerie atmosphere throughout, which could be chilling if you were seated in a quiet theater, but for something to put on at home, I think it falls short of packing a punch. The movie revolves around a woman named Sarah, who is dealing with her father’s death while trying to take care of her young daughter,...

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.

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,...

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.

The horror genre has always been an excellent vehicle for metaphors for grief and trauma. After all, what better genre is there to take our emotional monsters and make them literal? We’ve seen a rise in these types of films over the past decade, with particular standouts being films like The Babadook (review), Hereditary (review) and Relic (review).
Daina Reid‘s Run Rabbit Run is the latest addition to this sub-genre but, despite a committed lead performance from Sarah Snook (HBO’s Succession), it succumbs to predictable genre tropes and offers a severe lack of narrative momentum.
On the day of her daughter Mia’s (Lily Latorre) seventh birthday, Sarah (Snook) comes home to find a rabbit on their front porch. This triggers strange behavior in Mia, who begins acting out in more and more alarming ways. From saying that she misses her grandmother, a person she has never met before,...

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,...

Fans of the “I Love You, My Child, But You’re Really Creeping Mommy Out Right Now” subgenre have a treat in store with Daina Reid’s “Run Rabbit Run,” which hails, like a couple of other notable, similarly-themed horrors, from Australia. Indeed, the top-hatted shadow of Jennifer Kent’s “The Babadook” and the matrilineal mayhem of Natalia Erika James’ “Relic” — two other debuts by Aussie women that premiered in Sundance’s Midnight section — loom large here, as do other breakouts like “Hereditary,” “Goodnight Mommy” and even “The Orphanage.” Too large, possibly, for Reid’s film to fully escape a sense of diminished returns on its motherhood-is-madness, is-she-protecting-or-is-she-projecting and grief-is-a-ghost ideas.
Yet what it lacks in thematic newness, “Run Rabbit Run” makes up for in the sophistication of its moment-to-moment scarifying and its performances from Sarah Snook and outstanding newcomer Lily Latorre, as mother and daughter respectively. Between them, Reid...

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,...

The 2023 Sundance Film Festival officially began on this week, and as attendees are still funneling into Park City, the ink is already drying on the first major deal of the festival. According to The Wrap, Netflix has nabbed the rights to "Run Rabbit Run," a psychological thriller led by "Succession" star Sarah Snook. Netflix, which earned the global rights minus some select territories for an undisclosed price, already reportedly has plans to release the film in 2023.
"Run Rabbit Run" comes via director Daina Reid, whose work behind the camera includes directing episodes of "The Handmaid's Tale," "Shining Girls," and more. The film is written by novelist Hannah Kent, author of "Burial Rites" and "Devotion," in her feature screenwriting debut. "Run Rabbit Run" sounds like a chilling genre movie about motherhood and unsettled history, with a plot description that calls to mind films like "The Babadook" and last year's Sundance favorite "Resurrection.

“Can people come back?” asks Mia, the cute little girl whose increasingly hair-raising antics are the crux of this atmospheric Midnight premiere from Australia. From the dead, she means, and it’s a macabre thought that Daina Reid’s effective but perhaps overlong debut feature film plays with quite tantalizingly, right until the end. Although the tease may wear down commercial audiences expecting to find out one way or the other, Run Rabbit Run will find favor on the arthouse and especially the festival circuit.
Like a lot of recent genre films with female leads — eg Ari Aster’s Hereditary or Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook — Reid’s film takes place in a time of fresh bereavement or recent marriage trauma. In this case, it’s both: Sarah (Sarah Snook), Mia’s mother, is dealing with her father’s death, but the hammer blow comes when her ex-husband announces that...

The term "elevated horror" has garnered very mixed reactions. On the one hand, there is something inherently unique about a slowly-burning, quiet build-up to a terrifying revelation. However, on the other hand, the term suggests that horror in and of itself can't be sophisticated or can't deal with difficult subject matter. Regardless of one's personal opinions on the term, the past few years have seen an uptick in movies that arguably could be considered elevated — there have been good movies, but there certainly have been some bad movies.
"Run Rabbit Run" is neither of these. In fact, it doesn't feel like anything at all, which is painful to type out as a major horror fan. It's not like the premise didn't have potential — fertility doctor Sarah (Sarah Snook) is a single mother to a young girl named Mia (Lily Latorre), but the arrival of a mysterious white rabbit sends the two of them down,...

The horror genre is littered with creepy kid movies; some, like “The Babadook” and “Us,” are vastly better than others. Unfortunately, even with clear evocations of both those films, “Run Rabbit Run” by director Daina Reid (“Shining Girls”) and screenwriter Hannah Kent is not destined to be a classic of this sub-genre. Despite a solid performance from Sarah Snook (“Succession”), this Sundance midnight selection remains more of a premise than a fully fleshed-out feature, with thinly sketched characters and a heavy reliance on visual and sound clichés to make up for what it’s missing in actual chills.

The deal occurred on the first day of the festival, with the feature debuting in the Midnight selection on Thursday night. Directed by Daina Reid and penned by Hannah Kent, the psychological thriller stars Sarah Snook (HBO’s “Succession”) as a fertility doctor who must confront her grim past and her presumptions about life and death when her daughter begins acting out alongside the arrival of a mysterious rabbit.

There was some moving pieces at the onset of Run Rabbit Run but Sarah Snook would end up toplining Daina Reid‘s directorial debut in the end. An Australian thriller, author Hannah Kent wrote the script from an original idea she developed. Reid began her film career as a scribe – writing a quartet of episodes for The Handmaid’s Tale. Sundance programmers said “Director Daina Reid crafts an exquisitely fine-tuned psychological thriller, elegantly incorporating unsettling visual and aural cues to signal how destabilized Sarah’s world has become.”

Dollhouse Pictures, production company founded by Krew Boylan, Rose Byrne, Jessica Carrera, Shannon Murphy and Gracie Otto, is to produce “Devotion,” a book-to-film adaptation of Hannah Kent’s bestselling novel of the same title. The production is in partnership with production and finance firm Storyd.
The story narrates a love story between two young women in 1836 Prussia. On the verge of womanhood, the two outsiders find a kindred spirit in the other. Their Lutheran Christian community flees religious persecution in Europe and seeks resettlement and freedom in South Australia. The journey puts their faith and friendship under threat, but proves that the bond of love is unbreakable.
Devotion is the third novel from Kent and was published in 2021 by Pan Macmillan in Australia and in 2022 by Picador in the U.K. and Ireland, with translation rights picked up for Spain, Greece, Lithuania and France. The novel won Booktopia’s Favorite Australian Book,...

When we finally see Kirby’s (Elisabeth Moss) brutal attack at the hands of Harper (Jamie Bell) in the next-to-last episode of “Shining Girls,” it’s shocking, but also, far less graphic than we might have expected.
Moss, who has directed five episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” went behind the camera to helm the fifth and seventh installments of the AppleTV+ series. (Michelle McLaren directed the first two episodes and Daina Reid helmed the rest.)
The actress, who also executive produced the sci-fi series, tells TheWrap she deliberately chose to show the attack from Kirby’s point of view, which means we never see Harper or the knife. One moment Kirby, then still known as Sharon, is happily walking her dog on the beach at night, still beaming from the news that she’s getting her first solo byline. Then, out of nowhere, she’s on her face in the sand.

Busy Australian production company Aquarius Films has partnered with Irish production company Port Pictures to produce the feature film, “The Good People.” The film is based on the award-winning novel by Hannah Kent, who also wrote the adapted screenplay.
“The Good People” is set in 19th century Ireland at a time when the Catholic church was waging war against pagan beliefs. It sees three women conspire to free a young boy from evil spirits.
“The Good People” is an examination of absolute belief and superstition. It depicts a series of actions that are both tender and harsh and raises questions about belonging, understanding and acceptance.
The film is to be produced by Angie Fielder and Polly Staniford of Aquarius Films, and Martina Niland of Port Pictures. The film will be executive produced by Aquarius Films’ Miranda Culley. The film has received development funding from Screen Australia.

The role of “promising reporter turned amateur sleuth tracking a time-traveling serial killer as she herself becomes unstuck in time” sounds far too specific to be in any actor’s wheelhouse, even one as talented as Elisabeth Moss. Yet that is the immediate takeaway from the Apple TV+ limited series “Shining Girls”: That whether through the original novel by Lauren Beukes, showrunner Silka Luisa, or actor/director/executive producer Moss, the character of Kirby Mazrachi is a perfect fit for this particular star.
Maybe, at times, too perfect. As Kirby fights her way through fantastically challenging circumstances and the dismissals of so many people around her, it’s hard not to think of Moss’ exceptional work in the recent “Invisible Man” remake — a story about toxic-male violence that had the advantage of ruthless streamlining. The eight-episode “Shining Girls” has more time to build dread — and more time to trip over its uneven pacing.

There’s a moment late in the run of Apple TV+’s new series “Shining Girls” in which one character puts forward an urgent question, and gets a mind-bending answer. “Is he going to kill me?” one woman asks. “He already has,” the other responds. “Just not yet.”
By this point in a show that’s full of such temporal games, audience members may find that their interest has already faded, even as the ending has not yet arrived. Elisabeth Moss acts in, executive produces, and directs episodes of this adaptation of Lauren Beukes’ novel that hops among timelines — and she does her jobs elegantly. The problem seems to be in the source material, and the way it overlays a format — the TV series that might have been a film but instead ends up stretching to fill needless hours — to which the TV industry seems to have become addicted.
