Crust

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
