Description:
Seth Brundle, a brilliant but eccentric scientist attempts to woo investigative journalist Veronica Quaife by offering her a scoop on his latest research in the field of matter transportation, which against all the expectations of the scientific establishment have proved successful. Up to a point. Brundle thinks he has ironed out the last problem when he successfully transports a living creature, but when he attempts to teleport himself a fly enters one of the transmission booths, and Brundle finds he is a changed man.
Amazon.com essential video:
David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the science fiction classic about a scientist who accidentally swaps body parts with a fly is both smart and terrifying: an allegory for the awful processes of slow death and a monster movie with a tragic spin. Jeff Goldblum gives a masterful performance as a sweet, nerdy scientist whose romance with a writer (Geena Davis) makes him more fully alive. Next thing you know, a tiny oversight in an experiment causes him to transmogrify, gradually, into something more like an insect than a human. This is Cronenberg (Scanners, Videodrome) country, so expect The Fly to be a gross-out, but in the way that disease corrupts the body and can make a loved one unrecognizable on every level. This is one of Cronenberg's best films, and certainly one of the important movies of the 1980s. --Tom Keogh

I wasn't expecting much from `The Fly'. I actually thought that it looked rather corny, and I loathe the actor that is Jeff Goldblum almost all of the time so it was really a stroke I luck that I decided to even give this movie a try. My friends were all talking about it one day and I felt left out, beings that I was the only one of us who had yet to see it and so I rented it and watched it and, get this, loved it.
The film centers around brilliant scientist Seth Brundle, a man on ... Read More

The remake of The Fly is in my opinion a true classic, I first saw it many years ago and the memory still lingers, I love the acting, Geoff Goldblum and Geena Davis have never been better. Everything about this film is brilliant, the direction by Cronenberg, the score and the make up effects, no CGI back then just proper physical effects which movies so need to return to. 10 out of 10.

As far as horror and science fiction movies go, Cronenberg's 1986 version of The Fly is hands down one of the best ever made. The blending of a great storyline, great acting, and mind blowing special effects rarely ties in as seamlessly as it does here. Not to mention the film manages to be equally funny, sad, and disgusting all in the course of 90 minutes.
The movie wastes no time as we are quickly introduced to Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) pitching his latest invention to journalist Veronica ... Read More

A scientist on the verge of a technical breakthrough, is stymied by his failure to understand the body in other than intellectual terms. His affair with the reporter who enters his life to document his discoveries awakens him to the power of the flesh -- but the flesh is nothing if not unpredictable and irrational and a "fly in the ointment" changes the outcome of a pivotal experiment, leading to disastrous concequences. The Fly represents a perfect blend of Cronenberg's b-horror sensibility and his obsession ... Read More
