Take a look at the promo for the bug movie, an upcoming film from the director of The Exorcist.

Bug

First they send in their drone, then they find their queen. I’ve always loved posters like this first one (left). It has a real grungy abstract sort of appeal.
The blending of human and alien images emits a real mysterious and chilling disposition. Where the second poster (below) has more of a traditional Hollywood type of visual, I think both achieve a high degree of mystique. I think if I saw either of these waiting for garbage day at Blockbuster I would be apt to taking them home to hang on my wall.

Starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon and Harry Connick Jr., “Bug” is a greusome love story between a man and woman caught in the clutches of paranoia, delusional conspiracies about a government plot to infect the population with burrowing insects, and, of coarse, dealing with the burrowing insects. Movies with bodysnatchesque themes like this one always make for the best ‘creeper’ flicks.

All I needed to know was the bug movie was directed by The Exorcist’s William Friedkin. The Exorcist has always been one of my favorite films. I still watch it any chance I get. Any time its on TV or I spot a copy at a friend’s. Now, after having seen the teaser, I am sure its going to be a wicked movie.

From what I understand, Bug is Friedkin’s entry for last year’s Cannes Film Festival. It is intended to premiere at the festival. Bug will be in theaters May 25th.
