Director: Bryan Fuller

Cast: Mads Mikkelsen, Sophie Sloan, Sigourney Weaver, David Dastmalchian, Sheila Atim

Dust Bunny is a 2025 American action-thriller-fantasy film directed by Bryan Fuller, starring Mads Mikkelsen, Sigourney Weaver, and David Dastmalchian. A darkly inventive genre hybrid, it blends hardboiled assassin fiction with genuine creature horror through the eyes of a child who insists the threat beneath her bed is absolutely real.

What is Dust Bunny about?

Ten-year-old Aurora lives alone with a terrifying certainty: whatever lurks beneath her bed has already consumed everyone she loves. Desperate and out of options, she turns to the one adult nearby willing to hear her out — her neighbor, a quietly lethal professional who handles problems for a living. He agrees, partly out of pity, partly because the girl's story touches something long buried. What follows is far stranger than either expected. As the hired gun prepares to confront something he cannot see, a parade of armed rivals descends on the building, each with their own agenda. Caught between professional violence and something that defies rational explanation, the two unlikely allies must trust each other if either is to walk out alive — because Aurora already knows: some things under the dark are not imagination.

Cast & crew

Mads Mikkelsen anchors the film with his signature economy of expression, playing a man whose capacity for violence is matched only by his reluctance to show warmth. Sigourney Weaver lends considerable authority to her supporting role. David Dastmalchian, a Canadian actor of Iranian heritage, brings characteristic intensity, while Sophie Sloan holds her own opposite two screen veterans in the pivotal role of Aurora.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Dust Bunny carries a particular draw beyond its genre thrills. David Dastmalchian — born to an Iranian-American family — has become one of the few Hollywood actors of Iranian heritage to appear regularly in major international productions, making his presence here a point of pride for many in the community. The film is available with Persian dubbing, meaning viewers can enjoy the full experience in their native language without compromise. Director Bryan Fuller, known for stylized dark storytelling, brings a sensibility that rewards patient viewers who appreciate atmosphere alongside action. The creature-horror underpinning gives the thriller structure genuine unpredictability.
