Review of Rabbits (2002) by Rod E — 20 Feb 2013

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of David Lynch's surreal art style in his movies, but this short is creepy, haunting, and nightmare inducing. It consists of three humanoid rabbits in a room with a very odd script, mysterious noises, and an insane laugh track that plays every once in a while.

Mesmerizing in a way, I find this a lot easier to grasp than other works of Lynch, albeit being difficult to watch at times. It's dark, depressing, eerie, and bizarre, resulting in a very well crafted atmosphere.

There's a certain "curiosity" added into it, which will either make people absorbed into it, or confused and scratching their heads, which I feel is completely understandable, and I feel the same way for his other movies like "Eraserhead".

However, it's so mysterious and suspenseful to the point where you repeatedly ask questions, but part of what makes this experience so great is answering them and figuring out what Lynch is portraying through his hellish and somewhat depressing "Rabbits" short.
