Please don't give this a pass simply because it's director is legendary William Friedkin of The Exorcist (1973) and The French Connection (1971).

This insane pile of puke, blood, crap, and tin-foilery stars Oscar nominated actor, Michael Shannon and Golden Globe nominated, Ashley Judd.

This alleged thriller about mental illness is pretentious and cancerously earnest. The acting and the dialogue is stiff and painfully funny (but unintentionally so).

The characters would make real life conspiracy theorists step back and ask the filmmakers if they're okay and need any social work help as the story involves dangerous delusions, collective psychosis, and possible government surveillance through an army of allegedly harmless aphids.

The dialogue is preposterously bad.

Agnes White: I am the super mother bug!

Jerry Goss: You look good, baby. Mm. Mustache tickles a little bit.

R.C.: That's okay.

Jerry Goss: Not mine, yours.

Peter Evans: They turned us into zombies! Remote control assassins!

Peter Evans: I am the drone.

Agnes White: I am the mother queen.
