Details

Like a cross between Harmony Korine’s work and Tim Hunter’s cult classic River’s Edge, Bugs follows a group of teenagers as they plan their weekend and jostle for position in the complex hierarchy of teenage social networks. Meanwhile, in nearby bushland, lies the corpse of Amanda. But, oddly, no one seems to care.

Reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
DJKwa //Revelation Film Festival Review//The best way to describe Bugs would be Stand by Me by way of Harmony Korine. Shot like a 90's music video from an obscure heavy metal band, Bugs is a black and white ode to fleeting youth and the monotony of teenage years after the discovery of a dead schoolgirl barely rattles a suburban town.While it doesn't posses Korine's madcap boundary-pushing energy, Bugs does manage to capture something universal and deeply troubling about the apathetic generation. Where it struggles is filling its almost 90 minute run time and as the story becomes less structured it gives the impression that the film might have worked better as a short. Still, shot for a reported $20 000, Bugs is an impressive micro-budget debut feature from writer/director Jack Moxey.
cameronhalliday I really enjoyed this film. Acting was consistently good with a cast I had not seen anything of previously really impressing me. The humour in the film was subtle and somewhat gritty and although some humour made me a little uncomfortable I actually think this really added to the films atmosphere.choices such as having the film in black and white added to the atmosphere and I really enjoyed some of the editing choices and drawn out shots with little cuts.This film really showed a part of Australian you don't really see and it made this an overall good watch.Some audio should have been louder, it would have really added to the film and made things more immersive to me. This may however be the cinema I was in's fault.This film wasn't what I was expecting but it was memorable and overall a great movie that I hope to rewatch,
