Dont Let The Bed Bugs Bite.

This is such a underrated horror jem. It will make you more afarid of bugs. Bugs are scary, bugs are terrorfying, bugs are horrorfying and this movie will make you afarid of bugs. Those bed bugs though, those bed begs are nasty.

Both Ashley Judd and Micharl Shannon do a excellent job in this movie.

The Plot: At a rundown desert motel, Agnes (Ashley Judd) begins a tentative relationship with a newcomer named Peter (Michael Shannon). He has a strange charisma, one that offers fearful and unstable Agnes a flicker of hope. When Peter reveals that the military deliberately infected him with a bug and that he has tiny insects crawling under his skin, paranoia begins to envelop the desperate pair.

Paranoia, suspense, creepy, terrorfying and overall a underratee horror jem.

I am normally an admirer of David Cronenberg’s work. His films have always at least been interesting even when they were downright strange..up until now . He really dropped the ball here , there’s no other way to say it but this is one pretentious pile of shit. The plot makes no sense whatsoever and solely consists of a billionaire on his way to get a haircut having random encounters with strangers and spouting a load of philosophical existential musings at the expense of a coherent narrative and dialogue. Robert Pattinson is terrible here as well , blank ,emotionless and unlikeable. Perhaps he didn’t know what was going on either. For me the films worst crime is it’s a David Cronenberg film . It’s beyond disappointing seeing the master of weird and wonderful put his name to something as soul destroyingly boring as this cinematic abortion.‬

This book is definitely not for younger readers!! (Not that it should be, content-wise, but you never know, so I want to give a warning.) There are detailed sex scenes in this novel.

Docile was an interesting novel. I wasn't sure what to expect as I read it. Luckily, there was no strange twist at the end that ruined it. It followed the main story all the way through. It gave an interesting view of a medically futuristic program to help families pay off their debt. The program isn't without fault, and I, personally, wouldn't want to be a part of it, but in the story, many had no other choice. (Debtors' prison was the alternative.) It was a unique, yet realistic situation to read about. Money speaks loudly, and it definitely screams in this novel.
