Bed Bug

About This Movie

So, 'Bed Bug' from 2018, directed by Tunahan Kurt, really gets under your skin in a subtle way. The tension builds slowly, almost like a slow burn, as we watch Idris come home early and catch his wife in what feels like a compromising moment. The open window and cloudy skies add this eerie atmosphere that amplifies Idris' paranoia. The film explores themes of trust and betrayal, but it’s the way it captures that gnawing feeling of doubt, like a bed bug, that makes it distinctive. The performances, especially from the leads, are raw and authentic, adding to that unsettling vibe. And the pacing? It’s deliberate, letting the tension simmer before it possibly explodes. It's a unique piece that lingers with you.
