It's so perfectly disgusting. Loved it. Only one rule: don't eat while watching this movie

I´m not much of a horror fan. This is one of the very few exceptions. The make-up for the Fly looks great even today. Because it´s not CGI, which of course wasn´t available, it´s so much more real and believable.

"The Fly" is a very devastating film. Powerful enough, but not exactly pleasant to look at. Like only the greatest directors can pull this off, Cronenberg overwhelms the audience with a sublime mixture drama, mistery and repulsiveness.

Artistically, the film excels in its practical effects, showcasing the transformation of the protagonist, Seth Brundle, into a horrifying human-insect hybrid. The visua More

Nobody could ever call Jeff Goldbum a versatile actor, but here he is very much in his element as "Brundle". A madcap scientist, he dreams of being able to teleport things just like Willy Wonka does in 1971. He is almost as keen on journalist "Veronica" (Geena Davis) and so offers her exclusive acce More
