Review of Bug (2002)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for FulvueDrive-in.com (175) on 30 May 2007

Friedkin's Bug is a claustrophobic, unsettling, intense and extremely well-acted parable about paranoia…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 29 May 2007

Whether Aggie is herself a product of particular horrors%u2014whether she's watched too much television, absorbed her own lost child into herself,…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Ebert & Roeper (629) on 28 May 2007

Beat by beat, Bug is gripping: It has that feverish compression of great theater, but director William Friedkin gets inside it, so it's never stagy…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 27 May 2007

This material badly wants to be searing and disturbing, but it's all too obviously conceived as showboat material for actors, with little room…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Devin Faraci (498) for CHUD (345) on 26 May 2007

Bug is a movie intent on getting under skin in much the same way its protagonists think insects have gotten under theirs; it's a movie that…

Review of Bug (2002)

Review of Bug (2002)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 25 May 2007

A perfect film with a limited audience, Bug is one of the strangest, most mind-boggling movies you'll ever see…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for Movie Reviews in Croatian (186) on 25 May 2007

Judd gives her everything to this perfectly crawly psycho-conspiracy movie…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for www.susangranger.com (329) on 25 May 2007

Reprehensible, repugnant, pretentious poppycock…

Review of Bug (2002)

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 (2002)

By Dennis Schwartz (5,456) for Ozus' World Movie Reviews (5,456) on 24 May 2007

By the second act it has a case of diarrhea of the mouth…

Review of Bug (2002)

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 (2002)

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

That's the essence of the best horror films. They cause you to wonder: Is it all in your head? Is it really just in the movies…

Review of Bug (2002)

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 (2002)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 24 May 2007

A film of excruciating intensity, a psychodrama that infects the imagination…

Review of Bug (2002)

By Ken Fox (1,094) for TV Guide (1,527) on 24 May 2007

A ludicrous foray into psychological horror…

Review of Bug (2002)

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 (2002)

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 (2002)

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 (2002)

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