Run Wrake's Rabbit was really different and actually caught my attention. I felt like the oddity of this film was what made me really interested. The storyline really stood out to me and how the creature had magical powers and could change things once it's fed. It was really a huge difference from a children's story as this film really countered the meaning of innocence.
