Our take

You could draw a line from this disquieting miniature all the way back to Six Men Getting Sick, and forward to Twin Peaks: The Return. Typically attentive to its sound design, Bug Crawls takes a simple visual idea and imbues it with Lynch’s peerless knack for delivering uncanny, hair-raising vibes.
