Netflix just added its newest horror thriller Run Rabbit Run to its platform, but what is it about? Here’s your guide to everything you need to know.

If there’s one thing Netflix is known for, its for dropping completely unique movies – and now, they’ve added their latest horror flick, Run Rabbit Run, to its platform.

The streaming service isn’t a stranger to dropping original horror movies as they’ve made hits such as The Perfection, Gerald’s Game, and Hush.

But what is Run Rabbit Run about? And who stars in it? Here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s latest film.

Run Rabbit Run plot: What is it about?

Run Rabbit Run follows a fertility doctor as she starts to notice strange behaviors in her own child. Check out the trailer for the movie below:

The film’s synopsis reads: “As a fertility doctor, Sarah has a firm understanding of the cycle of life. However, when she is forced to make sense of the increasingly strange behavior of her young daughter, Sarah must challenge her own beliefs and confront a ghost from her past.”

Run Rabbit Run cast: Who’s in it?

The cast of Run Rabbit Run is a mix of experienced, well-known actors and some new talent. Check out the list below:

  • Sarah Snook as Sarah
  • Lily LaTorre as Mia
  • Damon Herriman as Peter
  • Greta Scacchi as Joan

Snook is best known for her role as Shiv Roy in the wildly popular show Succession, while Herriman and Scacchi are extremely experienced actors as they’ve appeared in numerous movies and television shows.

LaTorre is a newcomer as Run Rabbit Run makes her first-ever acting role.

Is Run Rabbit Run worth watching?

As of this moment, the reactions to Run Rabbit Run are a bit mixed.

Digital Spy considered the film to be a waste of Snook’s talent post-Succession, while Comic Book Resources called the plot “slow and repetitive.”

But, as the movie just debuted on June 28, it’s far too early to tell if the general response will be positive or negative.
