Shocktober Movie #23: Bug-(2006) DVD A tense, paranoid drama/ thriller starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon and Harry Connick Jr. This was directed by William Friedkin and adapted from a stage production. Agnes (Judd) is a lonely waitress living in a dumpy motel. Her ex has just been released from prison and she is still haunted by the disappearance of her son. A co-worker introduces her to Peter (Shannon). Peter is an odd, awkward Iraq war veteran who has a dark side. The two start a budding romance but things soon spiral out of control when Peter thinks bugs have infested the motel room. Mental illness, paranoia, drug use, abuse and conspiracy theories are all themes addressed in this movie. It is very well acted, directed and written. It will make you think and disturb you. I recommend it.
