Excellent, a Must See

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is a classic movie!!! Who comes up with this kind of stuff?!! Wish Hollywood would be as creative.

This is a great horror movie but it's probably not for the faint of heart. The real scene stealer here is probably the practical effects. As insane as this movie gets, I really do feel for the characters involved. I had sadly already seen the ending so I knew how it ended, but I watched it again because it's the best part of the movie. This is probably Jeff Goldblum's best film. I like it even more than "Jurassic Park".My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. I feel like they could have shown us more of Goldblum going insane. The music is great and it's full of moments to make you jump out of your seat. I think most people probably already know the plot. It's about a scientist who uses a teleportation device not knowing a fly was with him, causing his DNA to merge and turn into a giant fly. They say the original film from the 1950's was scary for its time and those who were frightened by that certainly don't want to watch this. ***1/2

In the 21st Century when us horror fans hear the word "remake" it usually comes with a sigh, but there was a time when remakes were actually as good, if not better, than the original. The Fly is a perfect example, quite possibly one of the best remakes ever. Bit of a slow star (if you're lacking patience) but well worth sticking with. Superb direction by Cronenberg, two great leads in Goldblum & Davis plus some terrific transformation effects make this an 80's classic.

I remember clearly seeing The Fly on it's original release,I was a lot younger then,and love had not played it's part in my life at that point,I had seen it a few times since and liked it,I love horror Sci/fi, but after seeing it again recently,I realized just what a masterpiece it was. Goldblum and Davis are very likable believable people,excellent performances from both,and this just adds to the devastating heartbreak and horror of the films second half,the movie really packs an emotional punch,combined with the brilliant makeup design and a genuinely creepy performance from Goldblum,it leaves me drained and shocked by the events on screen. This is very much a Cronenberg film,and along with The Dead Zone,is the most accessible of his earlier films,which basically means you are in for something thought provoking and original. The Fly is amazing,give it a second look,it deserves to be watched over and over.
