Episode 358 - Dust Bunny

Dust Bunny is destined to be a cult classic, kids. Get ahead of the curve and see it right now, you won’t be disappointed. But what is Dust Bunny? A little girl has a monster under her bed and hires the hitman across the hall to kill it. Simple, right? But is the monster even real? Or is the monster all of us? We describe it as “Leon, the Professional” if it were made by Jeunet & Caro. Or maybe “The Babadook” if done by Terry Gilliam. But really it is “Dust Bunny” written and directed by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) and starring Mads Mikkelsen. It is a rare original film these days, delightful and fun and one that has helped restore our faith in the power of cinema. Yea verily.
