Classic horror

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2003)

This is one of those really gory horror films you watch when you're ten years old and are never the same again.
The original movie was a bit of camp fun (Scientist gets head turned into a crap plastic fly mask) whereas Cronenberg chooses to take things seriously and give us gore and suspense. Goldblum has never been better (notice he nearly always plays scientists or teachers) and the special FX still stand up nearly 20 years later.
Shame about the nasty sequel.
