Bug - High level paranoia

Are you a fan of confusing movies, filled up with paranoia and disturbance? Then you shall love "Bug".

The story goes something like this. Agnes lifes in a small, dirty motel, far away from any city. She spends her lonely days drinking and doing drugs, going out in the evening with her friend or just stand around doing nothing.
One evening her friend brings a guy with her, she met at the local club before. He just wants to stay a night but Agnes is too happy that in the end she found a man and wants him to stay. Then her ex comes outta jail, beats her up, and again Agnes finds it useful to have a man around who can kick him out. But in a while the new visitor gets strange, talks about insects who are taking over the world and starts cutting them off himself.

Maybe not the best paranoia movie ever shot, this trophy definitly goes to "Paranoia 1.0" aka "One point zero" but its a serious candidate.

But dont search for prominent cast, this movie is still a kind of B-movie, shot by William Friedkin, even though you may forget that after a while because it will definitly catch you!
