Not All Bunnies Are Cute: Top 5 Creepy Rabbits in Cinema

Still from the film 'The Maker'

Life’s like a box of chocolates — you never know when you will get a terrifying rabbit.

While spring usually paints bunnies as cuddly symbols of renewal, cinema has a way of twisting the familiar into the frightening. From psychological thrillers to surreal animation, rabbits have long hopped across the screen with unsettling energy. As Easter approaches, we take a look at the darker side of bunnydom — the ones that watch, whisper, and even bring doom.

Let’s take a look at the darker side of bunny tales.
