You’ll have to wait one more week to see Mads Mikkelsen fight monsters.
Originally due out December 5, Dust Bunny will now open in theaters on December 12 via Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions.
“Hannibal” and “Pushing Daisies” creator Bryan Fuller makes his feature directorial debut on the fantastical horror movie from his own script.
In the film, 10-year-old Aurora has a mysterious neighbor who kills real-life monsters. He’s a hit man for hire. So, when Aurora needs help killing the monster she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services.
Suspecting that her parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunning for him, Aurora’s neighbor guiltily takes the job. Now, to protect her, he’ll need to battle an onslaught of assassins — and accept that some monsters are real.
Mikkelsen stars with Sophie Sloan, Sigourney Weaver, David Dastmalchian, Rebecca Henderson, and Sheila Atim.
Fuller produces alongside Basil Iwanyk & Erica Lee of Thunder Road (John Wick, Sicario).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “Dust Bunny, guided by Fuller’s strong and distinct vision, easily stacks up against many of the formative gateway horror films of yesteryear. So much so that it feels all but destined for cult classic status.”
