Review of Bug (1975)

By Michael Booth (186) for Denver Post (1,096) on 24 May 2007

You leave feeling alive, if severely disturbed, rather than deadened by the unthinking horrors of the latest slasher films…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 24 May 2007

Dishonestly marketed but fascinatingly macabre...Bug is about creepy-crawlies as much as Magnolia is about frogs and The Squid and the Whale…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Josh Hurst (38) for Christianity Today (953) on 24 May 2007

The movie seems made for the express purpose of disorienting its viewers, causing them to sink into discomfort and dread…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Lisa Johnson (11) for FilmStew.com (638) on 24 May 2007

Review of Bug (1975)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for OhmyNews.com (129) on 24 May 2007

Bug is unique in its priorities; a quality Lionsgate should've been eager to celebrate rather than keep away from online press and accurate promotion…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Susan Walker (133) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 24 May 2007

The cheesy soundtrack and the lacklustre acting undermine [director Friedkin's] efforts at turning an intelligent play into a scary movie…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Ted Fry (163) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 24 May 2007

Bug may not be a big deal, but it is a sublime and remarkably disturbing small deal that pays and demands close attention…

Review of Bug (1975)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 24 May 2007

As near as I can tell, it's the smallest-scale, lowest-budget, most experimental film Friedkin has ever made, as well as the most thoroughly…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 May 2007

Bug goes exactly where it needs to go -- to a place most filmmakers don't dare go -- and gets there brilliantly…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 24 May 2007

Bug has an uncompromising, anything-goes daring: Friedkin, 71, has nothing to lose at this point, and he has made this low-budget, brazenly…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Liz Braun (961) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 24 May 2007

The movie just puts its big ol' metaphor in your face and hope the actors can drag you along with them…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 24 May 2007

By the end, the actors look as if they've been beaten to a near pulp, and the audience may share some of that feeling…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Mary F. Pols (536) for Contra Costa Times (478) on 24 May 2007

When we learn what's eating Agnes, the open arms she extends to Peter feel justified; she's so deep into grief that it hardly matters what happens…
