The official Dust Bunny trailer throws viewers into Bryan Fuller’s delirious, hyper-stylized universe. Ten-year-old Aurora (Sophie Sloan) believes a creature ate her foster parents and enlists her hitman neighbor (Mads Mikkelsen) to end the terror. But is the “monster” all in her imagination—or a real threat stalking her room?
Fairy-Tale Horror with a Dark Twist
Fuller, known for Hannibal and Pushing Daisies, delivers a film reminiscent of Gremlins and Poltergeist, balancing grotesque whimsy with emotional depth. The trailer’s visuals—a floating dust bunny drifting through Aurora’s room, retro-style production design, and twisted pop humor—showcase Fuller’s signature blend of the fantastical and the unsettling.
A Cast That Brings the Creepy Charm
Alongside Mikkelsen and Sloan, the cast includes horror royalty Sigourney Weaver (as a memorable assassin wrangler), David Dastmalchian, Sheila Atim, and Rebecca Henderson. Their performances, set against Fuller’s unique tone, elevate Dust Bunny into a strange yet poignant fairy-tale for adults and courageous kids alike.
From Midnight Madness to December Theatrical Release
The film premiered in TIFF’s Midnight Madness program to bold critical praise, hailed as “the festival’s craziest film” with inventive storytelling and emotional resonance. It opens in U.S. theaters on December 5, 2025, just in time for a twisted holiday treat.
