Crust

About This Movie

So, 'Crust' is this quirky little horror flick from 2019 that plays with the absurdity of desire. An elderly woman is on this bizarre quest to find a husband, which sounds simple enough, but there’s a twist — he wants to indulge in life’s pleasures while dealing with some pretty dark themes. The tone is largely unsettling, mixing dark humor with genuine eeriness. The pacing is interesting too; it oscillates between moments of tension and these almost surreal, absurd scenes that really stand out. The practical effects have a rawness that I appreciate, adding to the film’s unique atmosphere. Performances are a bit hit-or-miss, but the lead holds her own and really commits to the character’s strange journey.
