Bug is a conspiracy theory film gone off the deep end. The cast did great work with the script and the stylized shooting worked very well. This film had the potential to be a great film revolving around a government conspiracy, or at least a conspiracy in the mind of a deranged...( read more)
This is one of the few "horror films" that is actually an "actors film".
By that I mean the characters (there are really only four with any major screen time) are well developed, with the two leads getting the opportunity to REALLY show some range. And it is the two leads (Ju...( read more)
it's a good-ish film already but it gets an even better rating just for its pure originality. i've not seen anything like it before!
Interesting premise to look at paranoid delusions but I just didn't believe Judd's character would be taken in by the delusions of someone in a psychotic state, to the extent shown here.

Bug buzzes around in random menace for an hour until its third act, when -- zzzzzt! -- it flies straight into the zapper. full review
William Friedkin's latest film, Bug, begins as an ominous rumble of unease, and builds to a shriek. full review
Supposed to be a serious psychological thriller, an unsettling little number designed to creep us out and make us think. But it's really just junk. full review
Bug, directed by William Friedkin from Tracy Letts's play, has the feverish compression of live theater and the moody expansiveness of film. The mix is insanely powerful. full review
I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting this movie to be a flop. I was drawn into the main characters and pleasantly horrified at some of the heightened dramatic parts, and also at the end I had some questions that also needed answered-but I love movies like that. I couldn't help finding myself itching either towards the end. lol
