Bug...
First, I thought this movie is a kind of "attack of killer insects" or something else. But it wasn't. I didn't know it was based on off-Broadway plays.
"Bug" is a psychological thriller. Also it's very creepy and strange movie. Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon infected by something. They thought those are "bugs". They see them on a microscope, and they shout "Ewwww! Bugs!". But we(audiences) can't see those bugs. We're not sure they're saying truth. Perhaps their delusion?
The movie's runtime is 107 min, but first 1 hour is dull. But! But you should wait an hour patiently(or push FF button). Last 47 min was horrific.
Some scenes are too painful, and you won't forget that last scene. It's an insane moment I've never seen before......
William Friedkin did good job. But his best work was "The Exorcist", of course.
