Dust Bunny
Ten-year-old Aurora asks her hitman neighbor to kill the monster under her bed that she claims ate her family. To protect her, he must battle an onslaught of assassins while accepting that some monsters are real.
Why it matters
A noir-tinged, darkly whimsical thriller that blends childhood fears with hitman grit — where monsters under the bed bleed into real-world violence.
- Sophie Sloan’s hauntingly sincere portrayal of Aurora anchors a story equal parts fairy tale and urban fable.
- Bryan Fuller’s directorial debut weaves a shadowy, Blade Runner-esque atmosphere with mischievous, macabre twists.
- Practical effects and lean VFX serve the narrative’s eerie tone without showboating, letting mood and character lead.
- For fans of genre blends that mix crime thriller tension with supernatural dread and a bittersweet look at trauma.
