Joanna Miles (The Dark Secret Of Harvest Home) and Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed) are among the terrorized cast in this suspenseful screamfest directed by Jeannot Szwarc (Jaws 2).

Description

Ashley Judd (Twisted) and Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water) give searing performances in this skin-crawling exercise in fear and paranoia from The Exorcist director William Friedkin. Oklahoma waitress Aggie (Judd) lives a largely solitary life in a rundown motel, haunted by a tragic past and hounded by her ex-con ex-husband (Harry Connick, Jr.). But when she sparks a romance with Peter (Shannon), an eccentric drifter, she starts to feel hopeful again until Peter reveals that he was a victim of government experimentation that left blood-hungry aphids festering under his skin. The couple begins to obsess over the nightmarish idea that they are infected by insects. A controversial, claustrophobic love story, Bug is a minor masterpiece of tension and insanity (The Guardian) adapted by Tracy Letts (Killer Joe, August: Osage County) from his play.
