The Fly / Canada, USA/ 1986/ Dir: David Cronenberg/ 106 Min
When scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but the fly's cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle's girlfriend (Geena Davis) is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.
“The Exorcist aside, I can’t think of another horror film as intense as The Fly. They are both almost unbearable to watch and certain sections of the latter have the upper-hand when it comes to inciting a sense of disgust, and that’s saying something.” – Roger Ebert
“What makes The Fly such a stunning piece of obsessive film making is the way Cronenberg deftly allows us to identify with his monstrous creation.” -Patrick Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
“A gross-your-eyes-out horror movie that is also the year’s most poignant romance.” – Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
