Dust Bunny definitely fits that mold. The story of a young girl who teams up with a hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to fight a monster, it looks like The Professional by way of Pushing Daisies, with notes of stuff like Return to Oz thrown in. It’s a remarkably versatile film that kids can enjoy alongside their parents, and as a piece of gateway horror, it absolutely works. The movie costars the legendary Sigourney Weaver in a villainous role for the books.
In my 4-star review of the film out of its TIFF Midnight Madness World Premiere I wrote that “like a dazzling, mildly dangerous display of backyard fireworks, Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny is charming and stylish gateway horror.”
Dust Bunny is now streaming on HBO Max.
