An intellect's film overloaded with CGI
Dust Bunny is a horror movie with a sub-context, although a light one. Normally, I don't like films where film school kids and intellects take to the Internet to pontificate their meaning, but like I say, the sub-context or deeper meaning to the Dust Bunny isn't too complicated. Thank God for that and we have Mads Mikkelsen as the neighbor hitman and I always like Mads Mikkelsen.
The films starts out a bit disjointed, fantasy-like and for me it was a little off-putting to the point I almost stopped watching. Kind of like a Wes Andersen film with a distinct "Bioshock" vibe, or Zissou. It gets better as it moves forward and the story comes together.
The movie relies on CGI way too much. A little special effects would go a long way rather than using CGI for what looks like every scene.
No DEI nonsense that we saw. Story is above average and the aesthetic is cool. At close to 2 hours, it might be trying for an Oscar. I'd say give it a watch, Dust Bunny is better than most films in the last year.
