Review of Bug (2002) by Bill B — 14 Jan 2013

One of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time, and for many reasons: First of all, if you think this is going to go the route of the cliche endings, think again. I was very pleasantly surprised that this didn't end the way that (horrible) film The Forgotten did. Second, it was an all-too-true portrayal of the typical paranoid American.

The story was brilliant, and the acting was just melodramatic enough to where you could feel both very uncomfortable, and nervously laugh at the same time. I've never seen the stage version, but I'd love to see it someday, because I'm sure it's even better.

DO NOT see this film thinking it's a "horror" film. It's not in the horror genre, nor is it a generic horror movie. It's something much more. If you want to see "horror" films, there's plenty of unenjoyable crap out there.
