The wait is finally over! Dust Bunny, the long-awaited directorial debut from the visionary Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies), has officially arrived. While it’s currently haunting the big screen via Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, you can also catch this dark fairy tale from the comfort of your couch!
The Plot: A Very Unusual Contract
Leave it to Bryan Fuller to turn a childhood nightmare into a high-stakes action thriller. The story follows Aurora, a fearless 10-year-old convinced that the monster under her bed didn’t just scare her—it ate her entire family.
With nothing left to lose, she does the only logical thing: she hires her neighbor to take the monster out. The catch? Her neighbor is a professional hitman. He’s skeptical, suspecting her family was actually caught in the crossfire of a mob hit, but guilt-tripped into helping, he joins Aurora on a surreal quest to kill the beast under the floorboards.
A “Hannibal” Reunion & An All-Star Cast
The casting for this film is nothing short of legendary. Mads Mikkelsen reunites with Fuller to play the hitman, bringing his signature cool to this “monster hunter” role. He’s joined by Sigourney Weaver, the sci-fi queen herself (Alien), who joins the fray in a mysterious role. David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) continues his hot streak. And last, but not least, Rebecca Henderson brings her “Westworld” and The Acolyte talent to the mix.
Why You Can’t Miss It
Critics are already raving about the film’s “wickedly inventive” style. It’s a genre-bending cocktail of childhood wonder, adult terror, and bone-crunching action. If you’ve missed Fuller’s trademark lush visuals and “beautifully macabre” storytelling, this movie was made for you. Watch Dust Bunny now on VOD!
