An exterminator becomes an agent in a drug-induced fantasy.

Sinekatalog’s take

David Cronenberg's hallucinatory take on William S. Burroughs turns writing into a paranoid insect fever dream. Strange and clever, it is a fascinating oddity more than a conventional adaptation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
