Academy Award–nominated actress Sigourney Weaver is once again redefining genre cinema — this time in Bryan Fuller’s debut feature film, Dust Bunny, starring Mads Mikkelsen. Opening in theaters on December 12th, the movie has already generated buzz as one of the most imaginative horror films of the year.

In an exclusive conversation with JustWatch, Weaver spoke passionately about what makes Dust Bunny stand out among modern horror releases.

“This film is so original. It really takes you to a world that’s very recognizable. It’s very much our world, but it’s transformed in the most beautiful way — dangerous, but also very, very fascinating.

There are so many aspects of the movie that I think are as good as you’ll ever see in any film. The cinematography, the costumes, the acting, the character actors, the surprises in the script — it’s so fantastic. I just really recommend it, and I think it’s an instant classic.”
