Review of Rabbits (2002) by Camden N — 23 Jun 2008

Proof that even the awesome Mr. Lynch can make mistakes. I won't deny there are some eerie moments (such as an unsettling and unexpected scream, and the demon rabbit) but overall this was pretty boring. I really hated the parts where the rabbits would say weird poetry to the audience before vanishing.

One thing I did like was the way the whole thing, except for a close-up of a telephone, was filmed in the same wide angle shot of the set. The set reminded me of a dollhouse, and it's still strange to think this was filmed on a full-sized set to me because it looks so miniature. It's probably just me, but in any case I really liked the effect it had.

All in all, I considered this movie a waste of time, but the way Mr. Lynch incorporated it into his film Inland Empire was great. My advice: watch Inland Empire instead.
