Dust Bunny

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.

A fun, popcorn movie

for the whole family!

The FX are decent in some moments, but in others they’re so bad they completely break immersion.

Other than that, it’s really entertaining.

Good for a chill, easy watch.

Enjoy it!

After seeing the trailer and reviews I had to give this a shot. I normally like these types of movies, a throwback to the weirdness of some of the 80's and 90's films. It's watchable I guess but not that good either. It's one of those movies where they just make everything as weird as possible just for the sake of being weird. The acting is fine but the CG is very inconsistent, notable the creature FX are pretty bad. The story is barebones and makes little sense, actually the whole movie is kind of silly and the final 30-40 minutes falls all the way into over the top comedy. This was originally written as a single episode of the short failed amazing stories revival from 2020 and never filmed. The director then turned it into this movie. I would say it would of worked much better as a shorter episode of an anthology series than what this turned out to be. I don't know how this is getting woke free ratings either, the minority overrepresentation is pretty heavy everywhere you look. There's the token butch female assassin and then the Ugandan born black female FBI agent is hilariously cringe levels of DEI casting.
