Bug is not an audience-friendly or pleasant film. It is, however, remarkable and admirable in how believable and psychologically precise it is in portraying a weak individual’s descent into a highly paranoid hell. And also thanks to the interesting idea that when we enter into romantic relationships, we not only gain but also lose something. Bug is actually a different kind of romance about a fated encounter of two losers. A romance according to William Friedkin.

A pretty interesting psycho-thriller (though the first half is more a dramatic probe into the lower layers of American society). The name made me expect something very different. Even though the story takes place basically in one room, the film holds the tension without problem and the two sicko protagonists are very good. PS: The conspiracy subplot would be good in The X-Files.
