"The cosmic intensity of composer Lucrecia Dalt’s score… immerses the audience in Daphne’s chaotic creative process… with one sex scene set to faery music that feels like a euphoric acid trip.”

"composer Lucrecia Dalt and sound designer Graham Reznick are by far the biggest stars of Rabbit Trap. The humming, droning ambient noise and unnerving loops of garbled fairy chatter reverberated in my bones, creating high stakes when there were little to begin with.”

"Seeking new inspiration and a fresh start, married musicians Daphne (Rosy McEwan) and Darcy (Dev Patel) move to the Welsh countryside to finish their new record. While collecting audio samples, Darcy inadvertently creates a field recording of mysterious sound never before heard by human ears. The discovery renews Daphne’s creative energy, but as the echoes of her music bleed into the surrounding landscape, ancient and malevolent woodland forces are disturbed. One day, a stranger (Jade Croot) arrives on their doorstep. The couple initially embraces the stranger, who helps them navigate and understand their new environment, but Darcy grows suspicious of his obsession. As jealousy and paranoia infect the makeshift family, the line between reality and myth begins to blur."
