The topic of motherhood has long provided the horror genre with some of its greatest stories. From "Rosemary’s Baby" to "The Babadook," there is something inherently scary about watching your beloved child be overtaken by evil forces or reckoning with the idea that becoming a parent makes us vulnerable to just about every terrible thing in our world (and beyond). In Daina Reid’s new film "Run Rabbit Run," fertility doctor Sarah (Sarah Snook) meets these tensions head-on when her precocious se...

June 3rd, 2023

An unprecedented record of medieval live comedy performance has been identified in a 15th-century manuscript. Raucous texts – mocking kings, priests and peasants; encouraging audiences to get drunk; and shocking them with slapstick – shed new light on Britain’s famous sense of humour and the role played by minstrels in medieval society.

Rabbit Academy review – Easter-timed animation gets its eggs all scrambled
