By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 24 May 2007

Steppenwolf ensemble member Tracy Letts adapted his play into this fearsome horror movie, directed with single-minded claustrophobia by William…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Bill Muller (519) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 24 May 2007

Although Bug is inconsistent and grows too violent by the end, there's one thing it's not: the same old stuff…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Hap Erstein (16) for Atlanta Journal-Constitution (910) on 23 May 2007

The film has a few horrific jolts and plenty of violence, but at its core it is simply a mind-twisting head trip…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 23 May 2007

You realize they are just going to keep talking and talking and talking for the whole movie, when you wish they would SHUT UP…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 23 May 2007

Where Bug succeeds, it does so by inducing in you the same kind of on-edge, constant low-level of terror Agnes lives with on a daily basis,…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 23 May 2007

Its brutal mental and physical outbursts will likely remain the most grueling screen scenes of 2007...but it's a shame Bug isn't more than…

Review of Bug (1975)

By John Anderson (1,358) for Newsday (2,345) on 23 May 2007

A fascinating exercise in paranoia and terror that sticks to the brain like intellectual flypaper: Even viewers who decide they don't like…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) (630) on 23 May 2007

It's entrancing to watch and wonder just how crazy Bug is going to get. Then the movie goes absolutely bonkers, and you wish you hadn't asked…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Andy Klein (675) for Los Angeles CityBeat (424) on 23 May 2007

It's a nasty, nasty piece of work, which wouldn't disqualify it from consideration if it had some redeeming virtue -- pleasure, edification,…

Review of Bug (1975)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 May 2007

Bug is creepy and hard to dismiss, but it's not a lot of fun and its weaknesses leave a bitter aftertaste…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 22 May 2007

The enjoyably icky heart of Bug is still contained within the airless, increasingly ''bug-proofed'' room that becomes Agnes and Peter's whole world…

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 May 2007

Review of Bug (1975)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 21 May 2007

Has the feverish compression of live theater and the moody expansiveness of film. The mix is insanely powerful…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 29 Apr 2007

Though it gets to be silly near the end and stagy at all times, there are enough scares and some powerful acting to make the pic worthwhile…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Jette Kernion (87) for Cinematical (752) on 07 Apr 2007

Blends paranoia, trust and love into a riveting story, driven by intense characters…

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 18 Nov 2006

A remarkably involving film--compelling and revolting in equal measure…

By Luke Y. Thompson (1,447) for LYTRules.com (112) on 17 Nov 2006

This needed to be a more radical adaptation, and it isn't…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 27 Oct 2006

Michael Shannon reprises his role from the stage production and gives an incredibly physical, deeply disturbing performance that is genuinely…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 30 May 2006

Bug can't decide if it's a woman-in-peril noir thriller or a modernist paranoia saga, so it just gets weirder, bloodier, and grosser…

Review of Bug (1975)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Variety (12,700) on 19 May 2006
