BUG - new movie from William Friedkin

[Rosdower 3.0]

I've heard about this play before and thought it sounded amazing....I just can't believe that the director of 'The French Connection' and 'the Excorcist' is doing an "indie" movie for Lions Gate...should be great!

Now that it's out, anyone checking this out?

[Ryudo]

Aww, you bumped your own thread.

[Bart A Thompson]

The trailer is pretty blah, but I still like the concept and looking forward to watching it.

I actually have heard some pretty great things about this. According to reviews, the trailers and ads are really missing the step with marketing. It was originally scripted for a stage act. So, I think that can give you an impression of what a confined, claustrophobic film this must be. I can't wait to see it!

[Patrick J]

I saw it. And while I did like it, I honestly don't know if it was supposed to be a thriller or a black comedy.

If it was meant as a black comedy then I'd call it brilliant. If it were meant to be a thriller I'd say it was just okay.

It's actually a really good movie. Not the powerhouse Ashely Judd performance that they're touting it to be...but Michael Shannon, who was also in the play, is really pretty amazing.

The movie begins pretty slowly, but once it kicks in, you'll be invested...

Watch this clip, it'll make you cringe:

but, yeah: it's not a "scary" movie.

[Brian Defferding]

I want to see this movie.

[Scotty]

It's based on a play that's amazing.

It's based on a play that's amazing.

Have you seen the play? Was it meant to be a comedy? This movie made me laugh, a lot. I don't know if that was the story's purpose though...
