So let me first start off by saying I did enjoy the movie for the most part. The ending sucked because I felt like we had not gotten any real answers to any questions we had, if not it just added more to the pile. The atmosphere was creepy, there was definitely a deep mystery involved, and there was decent shots with interesting locations. But I'm so frustrated I never really got to fully understand the story. There's was definitely alot of things the directors should've filled in as far as gaps go because it just felt incomplete. I'm not sure if they were just trying to be mysterious and whatnot or couldn't figure out a decent ending but it literally made no sense. It's a decent movie but you will be frustrated. And if your sensitive to children getting hurt (which I am) your not going to like this movie. There's alot of experiments and surgeries going on with children and young adults, most of which aren't seen but the after effects are and its hard to watch.

Rabbit (2017) follows a woman who suffers from odd visions of her twin sister who disappeared. She peruses these visions to a desolate caravan park. This film didn't really have an original concept to begin with, but mostly wasn't engaging or gripping and I was very underwhelmed. Firstly, the sound design was way too abrupt, messy and got obnoxious really quickly. The mixing was very poor, I found myself having to switch up the volume when characters were speaking and then quickly switch it down when the score played which was a massive distraction. The characters weren't set up well and no performances stood out to me as the acting was somewhat basic. However, I do respect the main actress for playing both twins as that can't have been easy. The visuals and cinematography were fairly average and I feel like the film really needed to experiment with these elements as it could've improved it a LOT. The movie just wasn't artistic enough to work as a slow-burn as there was absolutely nothing for the viewer to pay attention to. But, the vision scenes, although not long, were eerie and showed potential. Lastly, this takes us on to the pacing. It was a very slow film, which wouldn't be too bad however it wasn't engaging and the sense of mystery wasn't strong therefore I just didn't care. There was a serious issue with the pacing and narrative, I had no idea what was going on through most of the film. It dragged and lost me quickly, with no satisfying payoff.

Honestly, it's a well-made movie. Acting is great, cinematography is great, even the directing is great. The issue is this a 1h 40m movie with about 40 minutes of ideas if that. If this was a short film, it would work perfectly... but it's not. It's a full-length film. And that means it has to stretch this otherwise good idea until it far overstays its welcome.

First of all, learn proper grammar if you're going to write a review.....This movie was a slow burn but an interesting concept. Being a twin myself, I was intrigued and enjoyed the ride. Do not expect gore. P.S. For the person who wanted to know the song played at a certain time..turn on your subtitles and fast forward to that point.

I'm still waiting for the twist or something interesting to happen. Rabbit simply doesn't deliver.

Medical student Maude Ashton (Adelaide Clemens) is haunted by her missing twin sister Cleo. She has a breakdown and returns home to Adelaide. Her investigation uncovers a conspiracy. Nothing nothing nothing nothing oh hey something interesting the end. This has an interesting second half but it's too bad that one has to sit through a lot of nothing to get to it. The first half is way too slow. This could be an interesting Twilight Zone episode if it cut out half a movie. Most people would abandon this long before then.

Acting was fun. Music was intense. Story was chaotic. Enjoyed it. Probably one of the weirdest films I've seen for a while. Had an awkward but engaging vibe with good cinematography and fragments of dreams and nightmares and other things going left right and centre. Real Australian vastness to it.

Acting was good, cinematography was good, story could have been presented better. The soundtrack was intense in the wrong places and there was a terrible version of "White Rabbit" at the end.
