Rabbit Trap is a slow and strange film set in the quiet countryside of Wales. It’s about a couple, Darcy and Daphne Davenport, played by Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen, who move to an old house and start to notice that something feels wrong. There’s also a child, played by Jade Croot, who adds a mysterious and creepy feeling to the story. The film moves slowly, but I never got bored — it kept me wondering what was really happening.
The movie looks amazing. The hills, fog, and forests of Wales are shot so beautifully that you almost forget it’s a horror film. The camera makes everything feel alive — even the silence feels heavy. The sound is also great. You can hear the wind, the rain, the little noises in the house, and they all make the movie feel more real and scary.
The story takes its time. It’s not a movie full of action or jump scares, but one that slowly builds tension. I liked that. It gave me time to really feel the mood and connect with the characters. It’s quiet, uncomfortable, and weird in a good way.
The acting is really good. Dev Patel gives a calm but emotional performance, and Rosy McEwen is fantastic — you can feel everything she’s going through. Jade Croot is also great as the child. She doesn’t talk much, but her presence is strong and a bit scary. The three of them make the story feel believable and sad at the same time.
I didn’t love the ending — it felt a bit cold and unfinished — but I still liked the movie overall. Rabbit Trap is slow, beautiful, and full of atmosphere. It’s the kind of film that stays in your head after it ends, even if you’re not sure what it all meant.
