So there's this 2025 movie called Dust Bunny that only grossed about a million dollars at the box office. But from the few who saw it, it has good ratings from both critics and audiences.

The premise is that a young girl hires a hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill a monster under her bed.

My husband and I watched it last night, and it has the most fascinating visuals I've seen in a movie in years. The settings, the costumes, the cinematography, the casting choices, everything. Each individual scene was an art piece.

I think the reason it went so dramatically under the radar despite being well-crafted is because it couldn't find an audience. It feels like a dark action-comedy urban fairy tale, and it was supposed to be for both adults and mature kids, and yet they misjudged and it was rated R. (It should be rated PG-13 imo; I'd show this to an older kid before I'd show them Dark Knight, and yet Dark Knight is rated PG-13).

The vibe feels like Bullet Train or The Fifth Element, with some Tim Burton-esque visuals blended in, where it's purposely more about style than rationality. It heavily leans into visuals and whimsy.

By the time I finished I was like, "I don't know what the hell I just watched, but I'm glad I did."

It’s also just a really, really bad time to try to make any money with movies. The box office AND home video eras are both over at the same time. There’s no effective mass media marketing machine anymore to get the kind of numbers you need to recover the cost of a movie. Targeted marketing is no...

You recommended “Arcane” and it was life changing! I was in the elevator with you at Bitcoin conference 2025 and afterwards I wished I had the chance to say thank you for introducing me to that show. So formally, thank you!!!

La vi hace unos meses atrás. Es algo dura de digerir. Parece una alusión a muchos miedos que tenemos de niños llevada por un trauma de la protagonista que necesita ser resuelto. La puesta escenográfica es genial.

Lol I looked at that movie last week & passed it over, I suspect because it was rated R & the assumptions I drew from that. I'll have to give it a watch now that it has the Lyn Alden stamp of approval. There seems to be so many largely unwatchable movies around now. I'm reminded as I so easily dis...

Can have the same issue with books especially MG, pushed onto genres that don’t let them shine.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, started with low expectations though which helps.

Cool. Thanks for the shared. This might be something I watch as I literally have sat down with the idea to watch a movie for several weeks now and I have failed to do so. I have had hard time finding anything appealing.

Mads is an underrated actor. He was great in a film playing someone who was falsely charged of child abuse
