This is so interesting and well-written!! I've never seen Bug, and based on your description I might never see it (not a fan of self-inflicted gore) but the psychological effects of an infestation, especially in your body, are profound, and I'm surprised it hasn't been used in more horror or psych movies. Anyway, reading your essay was fascinating, and I'm sorry about your sweater!!
So glad you enjoyed reading this!! I agree, dealing with an infestation is a really vivid, desperate, in many cases relatable feeling that definitely hasn't been explored enough in entertainment. And luckily my mom was able to fix my sweater!
I thought Bug was lowkey romantic... am I crazy
love means being a little delulu together
