  • A dead body is shown lying on the floor of a room, covered with blood.
  • A man and a woman pour gasoline around a room and on each other and then light a match (the room is engulfed in flames and it is implied that they burn as well, but we do not see them).

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Bug has a very deep psychological undertone to it. Based on the play, it tells the story of how a normal woman met a man who was overly paranoid, and thereby driving the woman to that level of paranoia as well (which ends in them both committing suicide). Viewers will start to believe the paranoia is true, and the element of the paranoia can be very frightening.
