A quick read on how a bugs-centric movie became a huge hit
I don't mean to bug you but I want to take a minute to talk about those pesky little creatures. That's right, I'm talking about bugs! You know, those little guys that come out when you turn the lights out. You may not have known this but they have always bugged me. Okay, enough of the puns. But really, I do love bugs. So much so that back in 1996, I made my first feature film about them. It was an urban horror flick appropriately titled, Bugged!
The story revolved around a beautiful woman trapped in her house by mutant bugs. And whom does she call to save the day? Yes, yours truly! Not only did the film land a great distributor, but it went on to became a big hit in Japan and a cult hit here in the states. I hardly ever talk about it because Hollywood took the movie and ran with it without little old me. It was produced into a big budget film with a very young actress at the time, Scarlett Johansson. But unfortunately, I don't like bringing it up much. Plus, the studio paid me a boatload of cash to keep my mouth shut (wink...wink). But in all seriousness, I learned that just because you produce your first feature doesn't mean you're getting a large advance and three-picture deal.

Anyhoo, for the first time the film is available online. So check it out and let me know what you think. It was shot on a really, really low budget for laughs. Somehow, it became popular with college student (obvious they have superior taste). So grab friends, get some popcorn and prepare to be entertained by bugs!
Bugged!
