Bug
Ashley Judd is a lonely waitress holed up in a decrepit motel who lives in constant fear of her ex-husband (Harry Connick, Jr.). She begins to feel hopeful after starting a romance with war veteran drifter Michael Shannon, who's convinced bugs are infesting his body. Sympathizing, Judd soon believes the same, and thus begins their terrifying mental breakdown into paranoia in director William Friedkin's tense tale, based on the play by Tracy Letts.
