Dev Patel and folk singer Rosy McEwen star in the atmospheric folk‑horror feature debut Rabbit Trap, directed by Bryn Chainey. Set in 1970s Wales, the film follows the English couple as they work on a new album in a remote cottage and become entangled with a feral child played by Jade Croot. The child introduces them to Welsh fairy folklore and a macabre rabbit‑trap ritual. While the film is praised for its sound design, period authenticity and Croot’s performance, critics note that the narrative loses focus amid its moody atmosphere, leaving the story feeling uneven. The piece balances eerie ambience with a subtle exploration of loss, but ultimately presents a mixed reception for the director’s debut.
