If you loved McQ, try The Satan Bug
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Sturges, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to McQ, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Satan Bug is
Snow lies heavy on the high desert plain. A single glove, frozen to the ground, fingers curled as if still clutching something gone. Inside the silent lab, coffee steams beside three bodies slumped over a terminal. A clean-room fortress breached, a vial missing, and four thousand gallons of distilled water running through the filtration system too fast. Like Don Siegel meets DuPont at midnight—cold, precise, and wired to a Geiger counter.
