Critics Consensus

Elevated by Mads Mikkelsen and Sophie Sloan's magnetic chemistry, Dust Bunny is a dazzlingly imaginative and stylish feature debut from director Bryan Fuller.

A particularly pleasant surprise given how unexpected it is. [Full review in Spanish]

It falls short at every turn: The dialogue never sparks a real connection between Mikkelsen and Sloan, the CGI looks unfinished, and the conclusion simply flatlines. What we are left with is just an unfilling, patchwork dream.

4/5

This dazzling, imaginative fantasy horror movie moves fluidly and inventively at first, then gets more frenetic and reckless—but it's still a unique, memorable time spent with monsters.

3.5/5

Bryan Fuller's stylish directorial debut is a whimsical gateway horror film that harkens back to the good ol' days of '80s Amblin Entertainment.

3/4

Though built around the potential of a monster under the bed, which brings gruesome death to all who underestimate it, it’s a film that’s bursting with life in every cleverly executed sequence or gleefully macabre joke.

I really wanted to like this movie. I was hoping that the movie would have been better executed. But in the end, it was a forgettable movie. I was bored watching this movie because there wasn’t any action in it and the ending was disappointing.

Better than I thought it would be. Starts slow but it pays off. It sticks to its presence ends up being a decent film. Mrs Weaver steals the movie every scene she’s in is hilarious

This film was interesting. although some parts are rather hackneyed, the overall story and performances were good. I just wish that the monster was less comic looking but realize it exists in the child's psyche. I liked the locale of the film and the unique use of martial arts.vIt is a different form of the monster under the bed that is a childhood fantasy.
