Crust

Crust is like the "Little Engine That Could"...except it's a film.

Sean Whalen - one of those "where do I know him from?" actors (hint: SO MANY movies) - makes his directorial debut, and brings his friends along for the ride.

Whalen plays a former child actor who now runs a laundromat. Through a series of events, he...well...I don't want to spoil anything. Let's just say you'll never look at socks the same way again.

This dark comedy - most of which is in black and white - brings together Whalen, Daniel Roebuck, Rebekah Kennedy, Felissa Rose and Alan Ruck in a movie that will have you laughing and cringing (in a good way!) ...sometimes simultaneously.

It's an indie film, so the budget is low...but that doesn't mean it looks cheap - far from it. It's a film that doesn't really need more than it has. And the acting and story are both top notch.

Crust comes across like a cult classic...and deserves to be one.

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.

Don't go by the trailer, screenshots or synopsis alone. It'll make you assume the worst. The truth is this is a worthwhile comedy/horror (it's comedy with a campy horrific moment here and there). The humor is zany and it definitely holds your interest. I'm very picky yet couldn't stop watching. The acting is also better than I expected. Sean Whalen, Alan Ruck, Daniel Roebuck and Felissa Rose are all a hoot. There's even a touch of romance mixed in. Heck, technically there's even a twist ending. The choice of black and white and splitting the film into segments was a cool touch too. I recommend giving this a watch, particular if in a certain state of mind. You'll get a kick out of it. Bizarre yet worth it.

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!

It's weird, absurd, and just different. Has to be one of the most unique revenge films of all time. Crust is a real homie.

I was prepared for it to be silly and fun. What I wasn't prepared for was the range of emotion from Sean Whalen. There are some facial expressions that hit me harder than I anticipated.

Needless to say this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you want to see something you haven't seen before, this is it. Reminds me of my younger days and seeing the VHS cover of something like Jack Frost. Where you look at the art and say that's so weird that now I have to see what it's about.
