The Fly (1986)
The downside to being a fly on the wall is overhearing everyone talk about what a disgusting freak you've become.
Something the mutating scientist in this horror-fantasy knows all too well about.
While drunk and upset one night over his girlfriend (Geena Davis) seeing her ex, inventor Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) uses himself as a test subject in his telepods.
However, a housefly caught in the experiment causes Brundle to transmute into a hybrid. Initially excited over his newfound strength and wall-crawling abilities, the thrill turns to madness as the insect's brain takes hold.
Director David Cronenberg's subtle simile for sexually transmitted diseases, this visceral and cerebral reimagining of the Vincent Price horror classic features groundbreaking effects and award-winning make-up that detail the stomach-turning progression from man-to-bug that wasn't possible in 1958.
And on the brightside, as a fly you no longer care about the fecal matter content of restaurant food.
