2024 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Bryn Chainey’s Rabbit Trap

Published on November 16, 2023

We’re unable to stamp Rabbit Trap with an actual 2023 production start date so this guesstimate might be completely off but short film and commercials director British-Australian Bryn Chainey has had a steak knife firmly planted in the genre for a while now (his short Kill Your Dinner premiered at the Berlinale in 2016). With a horror-experienced producing team behind him, this set in 1970’s Wales horror film stars Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen.

Gist: This is a 1973-set psychological horror film.

Production Co./Producers: Lawrence Inglee, Elisa Lleras, Alex Ashworth, Sean Marley, SpectreVision’s Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah.

Prediction: Midnight.

Sales: Bankside / CAA Media Finance
