Crust

In a near-future world where synthetic meat is the norm, a group of ambitious scientists at a failing startup attempt to create the ultimate 'clean meat' burger. However, their groundbreaking experiment goes horribly wrong, leading to the accidental creation of a sentient, and extremely hungry, blob of bio-engineered goo. As the creature grows and develops a taste for flesh, the scientists must race against time to contain their creation before it consumes everything in its path.

Early buzz suggests 'Crust' aims to blend the campy fun of 80s creature features with modern comedic sensibilities and a touch of sci-fi horror. While its premise is undeniably quirky, early indications point towards a potentially fun, if somewhat derivative, ride that leans heavily into its B-movie roots.
