    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) individual. It ends being just an average film. The true madness being shared by Agnes and Peter was too rushed and just floundered to a horrible ending.

    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)dd & Shannon) that really make this film work as well as it does. Which (for me) was good, solid, but not GREAT.

    The film succeeds in creating a creepy, claustrophobic, manic environment. However there are moments when the environment (and the acting) seems like "too much" and starts to feel a bit over done...almost cartoonish.

    There are a few "gore scenes" that felt sort of tagged on to make it more sellable as a "horror" film. But I feel like the story is intense enough that these scenes ended up cheapening it more then enhancing it.

    Michael Shannon (as with Revolutionary Road) "knocks it out of the park". Few people can pull off "obsessive compulsive nut job" like Shannon. Judd is impressive as well, but not as consistently as Shannon.

    All in all it is a pretty solid psychological thriller.

    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!

    A disaster on every level.

    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.

    Nope, it truly ain't paranoia if they're really after you. And this is a very interesting exploration of an intrinsic part of our nature. Somehow, some powerful creative types were actually allowed to let loose here, unmuffled by sales-pitch-white-noise, as is otherwise customa...( read more)ry. And its a beautiful thing. Without giving anything away: an indispensable element of this piece, does hold it back a little way's from utter brilliance, but nonetheless, this is a genuinely powerful film with A LOT going for it.

    la vi de casualidad a causa del insomnio, esta rarisima la pelicula, no se puede describir exactamente pero ahi les va: una mesera vive desde hace dos años en un hotel de carretera, un dia conoce a un veteraneo del ejercito y poco a poco se les va nublando la percepcion de la rea...( read more)lidad, viven en un estado de constante paranoia a mientras se dan cuenta que estan enfestados por una plaga de ¿piojos? realmente pequeños y oco a poco se van volviendo mas y mas enfermos hasta llegar a niveles de automutilacion. no tan grafica como Saw pero bastante fuerte y con una linea de historia mucho mejor. vale la pena para matar el rato

    Not quite horror...but really great movie. Left me itchy afterwards. It's not at all the run of the mill studio horror crap, it's a pretty twisted look at paranoia and mental disease. Not for the faint of heart, but great great acting.

    Very good movie about paranoia (or wasn't it?), the acting was awesome, I believed every word from them!
