The final project behind b-movie hype-man William Castle as well as one of the few he’s given screenwriting credit, BUG is a gnarly under-the-radar entry in the natural horror canon. Bradford Dillman plays a level-headed professor whose logical world is set ablaze by a new species of cockroaches with pyrotechnic abilities, building to a showdown between rational science and the cosmic unknown. Firmly shot in Panavision and accentuated by a surreal space-synth score from award winning composer Charles Fox, BUG is one creepy crawly psychological trip and a singular movie-going experience from twilight era of Hollywood produced weird genre flicks.
