Dust Bunny thrives for a good while on Fuller’s fertile imagination, which here asks "What if Leon: The Professional but with a ravenous oversized leporid? Go to Full Review

This makes "Dust Bunny" a film for kids – yeah, they may have dreams but in a good way – and adults, too. As a matter of fact, the adults may like it more. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Jan 14
Quirky and visually striking, Dust Bunny overcomes its plodding dialogue with engaging performances from the principal cast. It's like 1994's Leon: The Professional but set in a magical, alternate version of New York City. Go to Full Review
Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Jan 14
3/5
...don’t let the cutesy beginning fool you. Before it’s all over, there are moments of rather brutal horror. Still set in this colorful and fascinating world, not unlike some of the previous works written by Bryan Fuller. Go to Full Review

Robert O Dec 30 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.

See more raydpgc Dec 19 Strange and creative with cool imagination. It’s a fun watch. Great performances by all the actors and actresses. Have fun and watch yourself!! See more Mr Hollywood Dec 19 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 See more vegasv Dec 18 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. See more Read all reviews
