Featured reviews
You can get any closer to gross bugs than in this movie. Each of the stories is a bit unsettling mostly because of the bugs and thoughts of bugs. The cast is excellent at amplifying the hair raising feeling you get when something like a bug is crawling on you. A fun film, but you may want to wait a while to eat before or after watching.
Of this trilogy, the first third isn't bad; the second is weak and lacks a much-needed reveal; and the third is incoherent. All in all, a forgettable anthology.
I'm not usually a fan of horror but a friend of mine saw this and highly recommended it. It did not disappoint. Lots of chills and thrills in this well acted and well written non-cliche trilogy of psychological / horror thriller.
One thing you absolutely want from a horror film is to feel creeped out and uncomfortable. This film completely had me on edge the whole way through. With unnerving echoes of 'Repulsion', the discomfort of watching this film is utterly unsettling, evoking Lynch and Cronenberg at their darkest. Plenty to keep horror fans satisfied. Recommended.
The curiously titled Bugs: A Trilogy is a horror anthology with the recurring theme of insects. At time of writing this hyper obscure independent crowd funded project has only 33 ratings on IMDB and was released in October.
With no wrap around to speak of it instead has very graphic imagery of insects, and even for a person with no related phobias it doesn't make for the easiest viewing.
The first story was tense and fairly interesting, the second was kinda gross and I didn't see quite what the appeal could possibly be and the third was the worst of all.
I respect indie movies and their filmmakers, but this skin crawling trio simply weren't very entertaining. It wasn't devoid of entertainment after all I didn't mind the first story but from there it was all downhill.
In making my skin crawl and feel generally uncomfortable it certainly succeeded, in providing an enjoyable 60 minutes not so much.
The Good:
First story was passable
The Bad:
Too much filler
2/3 was just not enjoyable
The music though fitting got old fast
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Glasses are so yesterday, now people drink from jam jars
Coffee makes the world go round
