'Rabbit Trap' Review: A Sonic Horror with Dev Patel
Image
There are several moments in Rabbit Trap when the boundaries between sound and space, dream and reality, begin to fray. Sound is not merely an element of the film’s atmosphere — it is its driving force, the unseen terror pressing in on the psyche of its characters. Bryn Chainey’s debut feature is a folk horror film, an erotic thriller, and an experimental meditation on the relationship between perception, memory, and fear. At its core, Rabbit Trap explores the eerie interplay between human connection, artistic obsession, and nature’s ability to resist control.

Sundance Review: Rabbit Trap Sets Dev Patel in a Wholly Immersive Horror Story
Image
It’s always thrilling when a horror film explores the power and possibility of sound. Much modern horror is too quiet, missing the opportunity to create an immersive soundscape that fully transports viewers into its world. Writer-director Bryn Chainey’s debut feature Rabbit Trap tells a wholly immersive horror story, using its soundscape to send viewers through time and space, this world and the next.

Darcy Davenport (Dev Patel) just moved into a Welsh country home with his wife Daphne (Rosy McEwen), an experimental artist who incorporates natural sound into her music. It’s 1976, and music is dreamy and psychedelic, recorded on a variety of analog equipment. They work together, recording and producing in their home, far from other people. They’re a happy couple but Darcy has trauma from his childhood that troubles him at night, giving him terrors in his sleep. One night Daphne records one of them and plays it for him.

‘Rabbit Trap’ Director Bryn Chainey on Star Dev Patel and His ‘Buster Keaton Eyes’
Image
Bryn Chainey’s “Rabbit Trap,” starring Dev Patel, Rosy McEwen, and Jade Croot, is a three-hander folk horror deeply rooted in Welsh lore and the precarious balance between humans and the natural world. It concerns a couple (Patel and McEwen) living in a remote cottage who suddenly have a strange child (Croot) burrowing into their lives after they disturb a Tylwyth Teg fairy ring.

“You might try to bury something, but something, it’ll grow,” Chainey said of the traumas lurking at the fringes of the new Midnight section thriller. “I grew up loving the illustrations of Brian Froud. He’s the guy that designed ‘The Dark Crystal’ and ‘Labyrinth,’ and he wrote these amazing books about fairies and goblins and pixies, all the folklore of the Celtic part of the U.K.”

“For me as a kid, these things were real, they were just an extension of nature,” Chainey continued.

Rabbit Trap Review: Dev Patel Stars In A Blend Of Cosmic And Folk Horror [Sundance]
Image
What's the difference between folk horror and cosmic horror? Those two particular subgenres of horror films are a bit of a conundrum — they have arguably the oldest roots of all forms of horror, but they're relatively new when it comes to their definitions. In layman's terms, cosmic horror tends to refer to the type of fear elicited by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, the idea that there are natural, ancient, and eternal forces on Earth and in the universe that are beyond human comprehension. Folk horror typically involves mythology, folklore, and religions that are specific to a certain region or culture. You can see from those loose definitions how one could easily be confused for the other, as well as how both are complimentary enough to co-exist in the same film. Several recent cosmic horror films (like Ben Wheatley's "In the Earth") have elements of folk horror, and some...

Rabbit Trap Sundance Review — Even Dev Patel Can’t Save This Dull Folk Horror
Image
When it comes to festival midnight films, sometimes it’s best to go in blind and with a lack of anticipation. Rabbit Trap, the directorial debut of Bryn Chieny, stars Dev Patel (Monkey Man) and is produced by Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings), which was enough of a hook for this writer. Unfortunately, even with minimal expectations, Rabbit Trap was massively disappointing.

Rabbit Trap Review

Rabbit Trap follows a married musician couple who move to a remote cabin in Wales, where they record a mysterious (and perhaps mystical) sound and meet a strange child who may be harboring a dark secret. Considering that spooky sounds and mysticism are two of the most eerie things there are, this film should work, but it just completely falls apart.

Rabbit Trap Review – Sundance 2025
Dev Patel in Rabbit Trap (2025)
The feeling of watching the film Rabbit Trap is one that is comparable perhaps only to the first time you hear your favorite song through a pair of actually good headphones. What was once a familiar old friend, is now something new, something different. Where once only silence was heard, now new frequencies and new sonic pathways open up from places that always dwelled under the surface, yet until now had never been accessible to you. Yes, this film is quite a bit like that.

Rabbit Trap is the story of Daphne (Rosy McEwan), an analog synth obsessed avant-garde musician, and her husband, Darcy (Dev Patel), a introverted sound designer who spends his days lugging his audio equipment into the forest to record the sounds of nature at work. Seeking to immerse themselves in both their art and their relationship, the couple decides to sequester themselves in a scaredy populated forest home in Wales.

Rabbit Trap (Sundance) Review: Dev Patel stars in this atmospheric folk-driven horror flick
Image
Plot: A married couple (Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen) living in an isolated home in the Welsh countryside encounter a mysterious child (Jade Croot), whose sudden, intense devotion to them suggests something sinister is afoot.

Review: Rabbit Trap is another entry into Sundance’s much-celebrated midnight section, a programme which has given us such horror gems as The Babadook, Hereditary, Talk To Me, and last year’s I Saw the TV Glow. Rabbit Trap, which comes from Elijah Wood’s Spectrevision label, is impeccably crafted and acted, but despite its programmed section, it doesn’t seem particularly interested in being a horror film. Instead, it’s more cerebral fare deeply rooted in Welsh folklore.

In it, Rosy McEwen plays Daphne, an experimental musician who composes atonal music using sounds recorded in nature by her audiophile husband, Darcy (Dev Patel). Set in 1976, they poor over their vintage audio equipment to put...

‘Rabbit Trap’ Review – Sound-Driven Folk Horror Gets Lost in the Woods [Sundance]
Image
“With your eyes, you enter the world. With your ears, the world enters you,” an ethereal voice begins, followed by a sonic sensory assault that trips the power in an isolated Welsh countryside cottage. The aural and visual interpretation of sound in the introduction of writer/director Bryn Chainey’s feature debut, Rabbit Trap, signals an innovative new take on Celtic folk horror ahead. Instead, sound becomes less and less of a focal point as Chainey leans into cryptic Fae folklore and oblique storytelling.

The couple responsible for the opening’s cottage-shaking sensory assault is married couple Darcy (Dev Patel) and Daphne (Rose McEwen). The pair recently purchased the home to further their creative pursuits. Darcy is a sound recordist who spends his days roaming the countryside collecting nature audio with his boom mic. Daphne then uses his recordings to create her niche style of music. But in opening themselves...

Rabbit Trap Review: A Haunting Dive into Folklore and Trauma
Dev Patel in Rabbit Trap (2025)
Bryn Chainey’s Rabbit Trap explores 1976, a time of social transformation, where Darcy (Dev Patel) and Daphne (Rosy McEwen) seek refuge in a secluded Welsh farmhouse, becoming entangled with local myths and their internal conflicts. The Welsh landscape—misted moors and silent woodlands—emerges as a living entity, pregnant with untold stories and oppressive quiet.

This narrative transcends a simple rural retreat, creating a charged environment where human experiences intersect with elemental energies. The year’s economic tension and cultural shifts echo the characters’ struggle to connect with primal experiences.

Darcy’s sound recordings and Daphne’s experimental music reveal their attempts to understand surrounding wilderness, yet ultimately highlight their growing disconnection. The deteriorating farmhouse speaks to their fractured relationship, serving as a physical manifestation of emotional disintegration.

‘Rabbit Trap’ Review: Dev Patel Gets Lost in the Woods in Folk Horror That Falls Flat
Image
If you were to watch the first 10 to 15 minutes of “Rabbit Trap,” the fundamentally flawed feature debut of writer/director Bryn Chainey, and stop there, you might think you were witnessing the start of a unique horror vision. In particular, the way the film uses sound in these opening scenes feels like something special; it takes on a sinister resonance, almost as if it’s tapping into another plane of existence. You can practically feel it rattling through your bones and deep into the recesses of your mind. It’s a great way to open.

Then, just when you are starting to get interested in how it will manage to keep drawing you in deeper, “Rabbit Trap” reveals it actually won’t be doing that. Instead, the film starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen takes a shockingly steep dive into narrative tedium and ho-hum genre beats. What initially begins as...

‘Rabbit Trap’ Review: Dev Patel Tampers With Ancient Magic In Bryn Chainey’s Asmr Folk Horror — Sundance Film Festival
Image
In British writer-director Bryn Chaney’s feature debut, he uses Celtic folklore and the intimacy of sound to unpack a darkness that some might struggle to put in words.

Set in 1973, Rabbit Trap stars Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen as Darcy and Daphne, an influential musical couple from London who retreats to an isolated cabin in the Welsh countryside to finish their next album. But when Darcy records a sound not meant for human ears, he accidentally conjures ancient mystical beings from the forest.

Best viewed in Dolby, the film utilizes hypnotic sounds in every scene, largely through the field recordings made by Darcy in the surrounding woods. In addition to sounds of dripping water, clanging metal and crunching grass, Darcy demonstrates how the medium is sacred as he explains that “sound is a ghost … and your body is the house it haunts.”

After recording strange sounds in the forest,...

‘Rabbit Trap’ Review: Dev Patel Leads a Folk Horror Tale With Acoustic Flourishes That Fail to Stir Fears
Image
In the Welsh folk-horror “Rabbit Trap,” debuting director Bryn Chainey creates an disquieting acoustic atmosphere and guides his trio of actors to powerful performances. However, these flourishes serve a muddled piece that coasts on its interpretability alone. Its dramatic mechanics and aesthetics never quite coalesce into something appropriately visceral, spiritual, or meaningful, despite the story’s frequent symbolism.

The film, debuting at Sundance, comes front-loaded with intrigue. Married couple Darcy (Dev Patel) and Daphne (Rosy McEwen) live in relative isolation in the Welsh countryside. The year is 1976, and their home is filled, wall to wall, with analog audio equipment. Daphne uses it to create her avant-garde music, born of the noises Darcy records with his boom mic while out on winding strolls. However, when a bizarre signal he can’t explain draws him to a circle of mushrooms in the woods — a “fairy circle” in Welsh folklore — a mysterious, anonymous,...

‘Rabbit Trap’ Review: Ineffectual Welsh Folk Horror Drops Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen Into Ancient Woodland Hokum
Image
A tradition stretching back to genre pioneers like 1973’s pagan freakout The Wicker Man, British folk horror can be bonkers (Alex Garland’s Men), hypnotically abstract (Mark Jenkin’s Enys Men) or disorienting (Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth). What it ideally shouldn’t be is boring. Bryn Chainey’s Rabbit Trap has a creepy sense of dread, striking images of invasive nature and an intriguing baseline about the otherworldly properties of sound, making it a somewhat promising debut feature. “With your eyes you enter the world, with your ears the world enters you,” says one of the characters. Which would mean something if the muddled story were coherent enough to achieve any kind of psychological penetration.

The lesson here might be read as: Don’t go poking around ancient woodlands with recording devices, and whatever you do, don’t go mixing what you find into grating avant-garde “music” and...

‘Rabbit Trap’ Director on His Folk Horror Sundance Film and Casting a ‘Ripped’ Post-‘Monkey Man’ Dev Patel
Image
Among another impressive stack of new horror titles looking to spook audiences at this year’s Sundance, “Rabbit Trap” joins a growing library of psychological folk horrors that have recently offered more (deeply) unsettling creeps than out-and-out scares.

Bowing in the Midnight slot in Park City on Friday and the feature debut of Brit director Bryn Chainey, the film doesn’t just boast an Oscar nominee in Dev Patel among its somewhat limited cast (there are only three characters in the entire feature), but comes with the backing of Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision.

Set in 1976 in rural Wales, “Rabbit Trap” centers on Daphne Davenport (“Blue Jean” breakout Rosy McEwen), an experimental electronic musician who, alongside her troubled husband and collaborator Darcy (Patel), has moved to a remote abandoned farmhouse in the countryside. It’s here where, equipped with a wild laboratory of analogue synthesizers, tape decks, theremins and very little else,...

After crafting the best film of 2023 with The Beast, Bertrand Bonello is prepping his next feature. While he was tight-lipped on details, he tells Variety, “It’s a little early to talk about it. It’s going to be very different. It’s going to be completely different. The writing is finished, and we’re going to start the casting process. I’m going to announce it once the casting is done. I hope to start shooting next September.” Speaking about how cinema is changing, he added, “This mutation is freaky and fascinating. If you don’t involve it in your creation, you’re out. It’s always an equilibrium. You must protect the past and welcome the future. If you just welcome the future, you’re lost in the movement. If you protect the past, you’re out now.”
