The original movie. Brilliant for its time. A classic tom watch before watching the Jeff Goldblum version (which is even better).

If Vincent Price is in a movie you should be entertained, and this movie is no exception. Rather gruesome scene at the beginning of the movie that I imagine would have pushed the limits of censorship at the time. The human sized fly costume is less scary than the scene that shows the fly sized version. I liked the movie, and it was on my list of movies I have to see, but it’s not one I feel like I would enjoy a second time. Seems like they could have done more with this story and its ideas to make it scary and more memorable, but they just barely touched on them. One thing I can say is this family was lazy, they didn’t seem to want to help each other as much as they should have.

"The Fly" is a lot of fun with plenty of creeps shocks and even a bit of gore. Right from the start "The Fly" shows us a rather gory scene of a man who's head has been crushed by his wife using an industrial press. You don't normally see gore like this in any 50's sci-fi feature so this brings an More
