The Fly (1986)

[FreddysFingers]

So this is probably one of the better remakes of a 1950s classic. It tells the story of Seth Brundle and his new invention of a teleporter. However, after some newly founded girlfriend issues he decides to test the machine on himself but a fly gets caught in the machine... resulting in this:



I LOVED this movie. It's haunting, it's frightening, its operatic, it's funny and it's heartbreaking. Never before in a horror movie have I ever felt like crying at the end than in this movie. This movie is flawless. Hell, if you look real deep into this movie... it's a Shakespearean tragedy. It's almost an homage to Frankenstein!

Be it the remake or the original... you must leave now. Run. Rent it. Buy it. See it.

Good movie... You should watch it!

Classic Cronenberg right here. Look into Videodrome and Naked Lunch, too. Good shit all around.

While it's undeniable that Goldblum was fantastic, I think the movie still would have been great Cronenberg turned the movie into a tragic stage-play that had character and outstanding special effects. It's really Cronenberg's direction that made the film so good.
