Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Crust is a film with a ton of heart, some sadness, a bit of depression, and a touch of silliness. Dec 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tony C A creature feature I didnt know i needed. A fun first go around for Sean Whalen, it has a little bit of everything. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Brian D "Crust" is a charming indie film that highlights Sean's impressive talent. It's set in a quirky backdrop of a laundry mat, and combines humor and heart in a narrative about friendship and self-discovery. Wyland's standout performance captures his character's wit and vulnerability beautifully. With its unique premise, sharp writing, and captivating cinematography, "Crust" it kept me engaged throughout. Its definitely dark but whimsical an is highly recommended for anyone looking for a an original film with so many out there repeating the same story. This is new! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Ivy S Loved it! Sean Whalen is very talented and one of my fave actors Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Kristen J Definitely a tongue in cheek cult classic worthy flick! The sock monster was not expected but hilarious! Sean finally got to play a romantic part and hit it out of the park, especially the word salad scene (you'll have to watch it to see what I mean) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Rebecca T Wonderful horror comedy!! Must see Sean Whalen in this!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review john b Who knew a sock monster could steal the show? Sean Whalen’s Crust is a fresh, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt entry in the horror-comedy genre. Blending absurd humor with genuine moments of suspense, it’s a film that feels destined for cult classic status. The story centers on a washed-up child star running a struggling laundromat, whose life takes a bizarre turn when his pile of lone socks transforms into a cute but deadly monster named Crust. The premise alone is worth the watch, but it’s the execution that truly shines. Whalen’s direction strikes a perfect balance between laugh-out-loud absurdity and nail-biting tension, creating a tone reminiscent of Gremlins or Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. The cast is phenomenal, with Whalen himself delivering a layered performance as a flawed yet sympathetic protagonist. The supporting characters are equally engaging, bringing warmth and humor to a story that could have easily leaned too far into the absurd. And then there’s Crust—a practical effects marvel that’s both endearing and terrifying. What sets Crust apart is its emotional depth. Beneath the gore and giggles lies a poignant exploration of loneliness, redemption, and the unexpected ways we find connection. It’s a film that makes you care about its characters, even as they’re being hunted by a sock monster. Crust is a breath of fresh air in a genre often dominated by clichés. It’s clever, creative, and endlessly entertaining. Whether you’re a fan of indie horror, dark comedy, or just looking for something wildly unique, this film delivers. Would I recommend? Absolutely—just don’t watch it while folding laundry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
