"When you have children of different ages, finding stuff to watch together can be a big challenge. Both of my kids - aged 10 and 12 - have a budding interest in horror, and there's not a lot of scary stuff that's appropriate for all of us. That's why I was pleasantly surprised while watching Dust Bunny on day 6 of the Toront oInternational Film Festival (TIFF)."
"It's the feature film debut from Bryan Fuller, a TV veteran best-known for Hannibal and Pushing Daisies. And even though Dust Bunny is technically rated R, the violence is pretty restrained, and much of the darkest stuff is implied rather than shown explicitly. I actually had a chance to talk to Fuller after I saw it, and he mentioned the original Gremlins as a big inspiration."
Day 6 at TIFF 2025 featured screenings of Dust Bunny, The Smashing Machine, and Ballad of a Small Player. Dust Bunny is the feature film debut of Bryan Fuller, a TV veteran known for Hannibal and Pushing Daisies. Dust Bunny carries an R rating, but the violence remains restrained and many darker moments are implied rather than shown. Fuller cited the original Gremlins as a major inspiration. The film’s imaginative tone and tempered gore suggest potential appeal for families with older children beginning to explore horror. Colin Farrell delivered a notable performance elsewhere on the festival program.
