Is This One Of The Big Surprises Of 2026?
'Dust Bunny' is receiving high praise from both film critics and regular cinema-goers, indicating its potential success.
2025 is almost over, but there's plenty to look forward to in 2026 when it comes to films. The first gem appears to be Dust Bunny, starring Mads Mikkelsen in one of the lead roles.
Not much was known about the film until now, but it seems to be on track to become one of the surprises of 2026. The combination of critical acclaim and enthusiastic responses from regular movie-goers has placed this horror-fantasy film high on many cinephiles' 'must-watch lists'.
Dust Bunny is receiving remarkable praise on Rotten Tomatoes. The Tomatometer (the score from film critics) is currently at 86% based on 77 reviews, while the Audience Score (the rating from 'regular viewers') stands at 85% from over 50 reviews. Quite impressive scores indeed.
In Dust Bunny, we follow ten-year-old Aurora, a girl who is convinced that a monster under her bed has eaten her family. In a bizarre twist, she enlists the help of her mysterious neighbor, a hitman played by Mikkelsen.
While initially reluctant, he embarks on the dangerous adventure to protect her and discovers that some monsters may actually exist... Also worth mentioning: this is the first film of Bryan Fuller, who has previously gained praise with the series Hannibal.
Keen viewers have highlighted the film's unique blend of horror, fantasy, action, and emotion, which has led to comparisons with dark fairy tales and classic films from the 1980s like Gremlins and Ghostbusters. Whether this film will become a lasting classic remains to be seen.
