“"Bugs are a fairly common delusion among paranoids... Bugs, spiders, snakes... spiders."

Bug is one hell of a motion picture experience, a nail-bitingly intense and thematically heavy piece of work that's guaranteed to polarise audiences. Based on the acclaimed play by Tracy Letts, who also provided the screenplay, this is not some cheap fright-fest about extra-terrestrial bugs; rather, it's a claustrophobic psychological thriller which provides a dismal look at mental instability, hyperbolic paranoia and abusive relationships.

"20. Favorite Horror Character Peter Evans played pitch perfectly by Michael Shannon. He is a complex, geniunely loveable and frightening character all at the same time. At points he reminds me quite a bit of myself."
