Bug | Ratings & Reviews

"As in The Exorcist, Friedkin establishes a tone of hard-edged, almost documentary-style realism before ratcheting up the horror to nearly unbearable levels."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"(Bug is ) supposed to be... an unsettling little number designed to creep us out and make us think. But it's really just junk."

SalonSalon

"With Bug, William Friedkin continues to be more fascinated by the evil inside our heads than the boogeyman outside."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"An oddball romantic drama that descends into comic horror..."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"Bug's relentless unpleasantness... can get to be a chore."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Bug goes exactly where it needs to go... and gets there brilliantly."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"Bug may not be a big deal, but it is a sublime and remarkably disturbing small deal..."

Seattle TimesSeattle Times

"A ludicrous foray into psychological horror."

TV GuideTV Guide

"(Bug) will assault you with its ghastly claustrophobic drama and over-the-top performances."

USA TodayUSA Today

"We find ourselves in the fascinating no man's land between horror and comedy - right where this movie wants us to be."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"A tense and effectively claustrophobic experience."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"The sheer freakiness and psychotic commitment of the actors keep you watching."

The GuardianThe Guardian

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

VultureVulture

"Buzzes around in random menace for an hour until its third act, when - zzzzzt! - it flies straight into the zapper."

New York PostNew York Post

"A ranting, claustrophobic drama that trades in shopworn paranoid notions, William Friedkin's overwrought screen version of Tracy Letts' play assaults the viewer with aggressive thesping and over-the-top notions of shocking incident, all to intensely alienating effect."

VarietyVariety

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

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"Begins as an ominous rumble of unease, and builds to a shriek. The last 20 minutes are searingly intense: A paranoid personality finds its mate, and they race each other into madness."
