Leave your thoughts about Lightning Bug.
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovEverything's painted in the broadest of strokes and the autobiographical story never takes on a modicum of authenticity. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThough Lightning Bug does feature a number of positive aspects - particularly Harrison's subtle, effective performance - the film never quite achieves lift-off. |
| User ReviewMichael BThis movie is the best horror/thriller out there. |
