Bugs: A Trilogy – Review

Bugs can be downright scary if you think about it. The things that they do to survive aren’t something that we would consider normal, doing things like feeding off of people, crawling around in dirt and annoying us when the lights are turned out are just unacceptable. They can get in your hair, up your nose and even in your teeth if you’re not especially careful and can make your life a living hell.

Bugs: A Trilogy is a horror anthology directed by Simone Kisiel and written by Alexandra Grunberg which focusses on three women all being taken in by something disturbing in their lives.

Firstly, there’s a babysitter who’s looking after her friend’s little boy. There’s something particularly creepy about him, as there is about all children in horror movies, and she just can’t seem to please him. However, her methods may lead to something more supernatural. Then there’s a woman who comes to her doctor and is brushed off by being given some pills. She’s clearly not being listened to, and things only get worse when she goes home and experiences really bad stomach cramps.



Finally, a woman feels like she’s being haunted in her own home and only she can sense it. Her roommate seems peppy and friendly enough, but she’s also the kind to brush off little things and her mother is so self-absorbed and overbearing, so it’s up to hear to deal with her inner demons.

Things get much worse in all three stories and it’s the bugs that tie them together.

A low budget horror anthology with a single director and writer is rather unique these days as usually they’re designed to showcase a variety of voices. Director Kisiel does indeed manage to navigate her way around the different styles of horror, from body horror, supernatural and psychological, but there’s just something missing to tie it all up coherently.

Although bugs can be nasty and revolting, it seems that they’re an after thought and something that would be a good hook for a title. However, with a little more time and a little more thought there could have been a more intriguing overall story.

Joel found out that he had a talent for absorbing film trivia at a young age. Ever since then he has probably watched more films than the average human being, not because he has no filter but because it’s one of the most enjoyable, fulfilling and enriching experiences that a person can have. He also has a weak spot for bad sci-fi/horror movies because he is a huge geek and doesn’t care who knows it.
