Audience Reviews for Bug

• Feb 19, 2017

  A low budget psychological horror film about the folie a deux of a lonely woman and a schizophreniac in a remote hotel. They believe there is a conspiracy to hatch bugs as bioweapon using their bodies, but is this a delusion? The acting was pretty convincing but the plot is way too predictable.

  Bug is an odd film that I want to uprate because it is so different and features some intense acting, but cannot because not enough actually happens. Although it is not a very scary, violent, or graphic film, I would class it as a kind of psychological drama horror. It is reminiscent of both "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "American Hustle" in a weird way. Recommended mainly to those with a keen interest in the psychological.

  The film's ambition seems to pay off towards the end, however the conclusion resolutes as a little rushed. Ashley Judd stars in Bug almost like Charlize Theron appeared in Monster, transformed by the harshness of her story, playing an extremely lonely woman who lets a chance at love destory any state of a sound mind after she meets a disturbed AWOL officer played by Michael Shannon, who also appeared in the stage play the film is adapted from. It's a film about paranoia and "delusional parisitosis" but underneath it is also about heartbreak, motherhood, obsession and abuse and is really quite affective. The lengthy dialogue and single location can end up a bit jarring however...

  William Friedkin is a sensationalist, and he tends to make the most out of the material that he's dealt. He's also the best when it comes to mustering incredible performances from his actors, which is evinced by Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon, who are both in top form. There are parts of "Bug" that are a bit overblown, but that stems from the fact that it's based on a stage play. Overall, it's a disturbing psychological thriller, and its ambiguity is as frustrating as it is enthralling.
