Crust

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.

Crust delivers a genuine throw back fun ninteen eightiesish comedy horror with heart. Here I thought the non cgi creature features were dead but I was wrong. Crust is littered with several familiar faces, laughs and heart. Sean and Rebeccas chemistry is fun and the rest of the cast fits in this crazy world. Would suggest to anybody into indie goodness and B flicks and could use a unique movie to watch.

If anything this might be the coolest public service announcent for locking your door when you are self romancing. You'll only get caught once doing it and youll learn your lesson.

Cant wait for the potential sequels and the cult following that will surely follow.

Crust is a must!

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!

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.

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.
