Quotes
"Bug is more cerebral than visceral so those expecting a more traditional chiller may be disappointed. But for those interested in a creepy character study, this Bug has bite."— from IGN Movies
"A film of excruciating intensity, a psychodrama that infects the imagination."— Colin Covert from Minneapolis Star Tribune
"William Friedkin's latest film, Bug, begins as an ominous rumble of unease, and builds to a shriek." —
Roger Ebert from Chicago Sun-Times
