Ranked by shared directors, cast, themes, genre, and era — not just generic recommendations.

Coraline
Young girl confronts a real, hidden monster in her own home; same dark fantasy + child-in-peril DNA, just animated instead of live action.

Wendell & Wild
Selick dark fantasy with a young girl pulled into a demon/underworld plot; same blend of macabre whimsy and real monsters as Dust Bunny.

Tideland
Lone child surviving among adults and her own dark imagination; same unsettling kid-POV dark fantasy register Bryan Fuller is leaning into.

The Boogeyman
Two sisters menaced by a monster in their house with grieving parent context, also features David Dastmalchian; closest 'monster under the bed' analog.

Nightbreed
Clive Barker dark fantasy where 'monsters' are real and a violent serial killer overlaps their world; matches Dust Bunny's tonal mix of horror and mythic creatures.

The Keep
Michael Mann dark fantasy/horror with armed men forced to confront an actual demonic entity; same 'real monster behind the legend' pivot.

Death of a Unicorn
Same-year dark fantasy with father/daughter dynamic, mythic creature treated as physically real, and bursts of horror-comedy violence.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf
Lone monster-hunter for hire fighting demonic creatures in a dark fantasy world; mirrors the hitman-vs-monsters spine of Dust Bunny.

Krull
Action-fantasy with a hero battling otherworldly invaders to rescue an innocent; classic dark fantasy adventure tone Dust Bunny pays homage to.

Dororo
Warrior pairs with a scrappy child to hunt demons; same protector + kid + monster-killing structure in a dark fantasy register.

Underworld
Stylish urban gothic dark fantasy where a deadly professional fights supernatural creatures; matches Dust Bunny's gun-action + monsters lane.

Underworld: Evolution
More of the same gothic monster-hunter action; relevant if viewers want pure 'killer vs creatures' fix, less of the kid/heart layer.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Dark fantasy war between vampires and lycans; shares the urban-gothic action register but lacks Dust Bunny's intimate child-led story.

Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic
Demon servant protects a young master through gothic supernatural mayhem; tonally close to Bryan Fuller's macabre style despite being anime.

Puppetmaster
Horror-fantasy about small monstrous things stalking and killing humans; loose 'creatures from hidden places' kinship with the bedroom monster premise.

Look Away
Horror-fantasy where a sinister presence emerges from a child's private world; thematic overlap with the 'monster nobody believes is real' idea.

The Unhealer
Bullied young protagonist gains supernatural power and metes out violent revenge; shares the dark-fantasy-meets-violence vibe at a smaller scale.
