have been OBSESSED with "Bugcrush" since i read it in "Queer Fear II" an anthology of gay themed Horror stories...I know I know...usually those things are HORRIBLE but this collection was different........VERY different......and to start it off was a story by Scott Trelevan...THIS story....and I fell in love with his imagery and narritive......his portayal of angsty and dissaffected teens...it was creepy cool without being gothic and scholcky...Somehow the horrors of teen life in a small town are made even worse by not only exploring the feelings of being different and of growing sexual curiosity....but by deving into the OTHER kinds of horrors that are out there...the unspeakable kind...the OTHER monsters in the closet....
I soon heard a rumour that there was a short film made of this story and I waited..and searched.....and waited...and searched...and finally I found it ...and was NOT dissapointed!!!!!! The film is very simple in its approach and uses ambinent noise and overdubbed coversations to created hauntingly unnerving results.....staying true to the original story it brought this truly original and somewhat sexual story to life.....
SO please take some time and watch this three part suite of BUGCRUSH Written by Scott Trelevan...directed by Catrer Smith.SO turn out the lights...pull up close...and enjoy.....
XOXO
