Dust Bunny
8-year-old Aurora (Sophie Sloan) is terrified that there is a monster underneath her bed that will come out of the floorboards to eat her. Her mom tells her that only dust bunnies are under her bed. Frightened one night, she hides under her covers & hears scary noises. In the morning, her parents bedroom is torn apart & they are missing. Aurora hires the resident (Mads Mikkelsen) in 5B to kill her monster. He is skeptical but plays along to humor the little girl This is a very weird whimsical of the “The Professional”. It is a dark fantasy/horror/action/comedy. Resident 5B is actually a hit man with his own monsters, assassins, after him. Sigourney Weaver plays Laverne, his handler. This is a real mixed bag… reality meets imagination… metaphor of a child’s nightmares & fears… assassins’ gun battles…the huge monster who will eat you… This one was hard for me to get into… difficult to figure out what it wanted to be. Look for one last surprise clip mid credits.
Alien gives it 2 “keep off the floor & I️ told you so” stars out of 4.
