Bug (Special Edition) (Blu-ray)

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.
