The atmospheric, psychological horror Rabbit is finally available widely in the US thanks to a distribution deal with The Orchard. Director Luke Shanahan eschews traditional story-telling here, in favor of a more open-ended narrative leaving much open for interpretation. However, many audiences and critics appreciate the gorgeous cinematography and brilliant performances from Adelaide Clemens and Alex Russel. A tooth-grindingly unnerving synth score caps off this tense thriller.

Rabbit announces the arrival of a new voice in cinema

Ultimately, open-ended films from unknown directors are a tough sell to wide audiences. Nevertheless, Shanahan exhibits strength and confidence with his debut feature. Rabbit announces the arrival of a new voice in cinema. Fans who are sick of waiting for a new David Lynch film should check this one out. You can check out our review, or watch the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Rabbit is available now on VOD and DVD.
