Crust

With a sea of remakes and movies you've seen over and over this movie has such an interesting and original plot that make it a breath of fresh air. The acting is amazing and it has a great combination of comedy and horror. I rented the movie and 30 minutes and I went back and bought it because I knew it would be something I would want to rewatch and recommend to friends. Sean Whalen is such a great actor and always steals the movie no matter how much screen time he has so I was instantly interested in checking out his directorial debut. Cyber hi-five for everyone involved in the making of this film and Hope to see more from Sean and the rest of the crew .

Crust is an experience you won't want to miss. Directed by and starring Sean Whalen, this indie gem mixes comedy, fantasy, and dramatic horror in a way that's both refreshing and heartwarming.

The plot centers on a washed-up former child actor who runs a laundromat. His life takes a bizarre twist when his collection dirty lost socks turns into a cute but deadly monster named Crust. It's as crazy as it sounds, and it works brilliantly.

Sean Whalen leads the cast with a standout performance, capturing the nuances of a man finding unexpected redemption through his monstrous new friend. His direction is equally impressive, creating a whimsical yet relatable world.

In short, Crust is a must-see for anyone who loves indie films that dare to be different. It's a heartwarming, hilarious, and thrilling movie that leaves a lasting impression. Don't miss out on this delightful cinematic treat.

A little camp (but not too much), lots of funny, the right amount of horror, and a pinch of noir.

Whalen's directorial debut follows a former child actor down on his luck and himself contemplating a reboot of that childhood family favorite, Baker's Dozen. Most of his fellow child castmates have followed the general tropes of child actors gone wrong: drugs, prison, early death. Paul/Vegas managed to avoid these pitfalls but he now runs a laundromat and is the victim of bullies.

Then we have Crust - our monster (or is he our hero? He is a charmer).. cutest monster this side of a friendly street.

CRUST BRINGS THE FUN BACK TO THE CINEMA. I was lucky enough to watch the Maryland Premier of Crust, and it was even more than I hoped for. Such a fun movie that will make you laugh, cry, and more. Sean is amazing in the movie and having him in the full movie made it even better. We often don't get to enjoy Sean as long as we would like in the movies he's in. Such a great cast and great film. With nods to many movies of the past, Crust is an old/new approach to the best genre out there. Crust reminds me like a cross between Clerks/Basket Case and Gremlins. Go check it out. LETS MAKE THIS A CULT CLASSIC.

Crust was a crazy, wild, original gem right from the brilliant mind of Sean Whalen! It was well executed on all levels, the performances were all top notch and the premise was like nothing I've seen before (and that was a good thing)! Sean is incredible as Paul/Vegas in the lead role and Rebekah Kennedy gives a stand out performance as Nila, his love interest! I'm really glad this film was released in a theatre near me and I was able to see it on a big screen, it was an experience that will stick with me for a while! Go see Crust in the theatre or make sure to check it out when it's available to stream, you won't regret it!
