Jeff Goldblum & David Cronenberg's Finest Hour (and a bit)

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2013)

What can be said that hasn't been said about 1986's "The Fly"? Not a lot really but having just seen it again I thought i'd give my thoughts.
I enjoyed the Hokey but fun Fly from 1950's...It must have been a scream back then BUT this is something very different.
An EXTRAORDINARY Film made with expert craft. It is IMHO David Cronenberg's BEST Film by miles & how Jeff Goldblum did not win the Oscar for this performance is beyond me (I will have to look up who won it that year because he must have been exceptional)
These guys had no right to turn such a hokey film into such a HORROR CLASSIC...The Script is great (with many amazing words from Brundle which every fan knows by now...I'm an Insect that dreamt he was a man and loved it AWESOME) the Effects are Mindblowing, the acting & directing amazing with Geena Davis the perfect match for Goldblum.
A TERRIFYING LOVE STORY
One of Cronenberg's Very Best along with "The Dead Zone" , "Videodrome" & "Scanners" how I wish he'd make more like this rather the more recent "Cosmopolis", "A Dangerous Method" & "Eastern Promises" which simply aren't to my taste.
AND THAT ENDING IS JUST A KILLER!!!
