A disturbing big movie.

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2020)

The fly is an incredible film that represent horror movies inherited from the style of B-class movies and that has John Carpenter, David Lynch and David Cronenberg himself as his greatest filmmakers.
The film combines a terror and suspense generated from the story and communicated by the characters. A theme that is touched with seriousness and that condemns the characters to go through monstrous and disgusting moments. The direction, the photography, the performances and, above all, the makeup make us experience the same as spectators.
In the movie there are two currents, the positivist or the scientist expressed by the character of Jeff Goldblum, and on the other hand we have the liberal current expressed by the character of Geena Davis. Goldblum on the one hand seeks to enclose all his discoveries and even when he suffers from them we do not see him very worried. Davis on the other hand seeks to bring to light everything and worries even before knowing what happens to him.
These two currents are exemplified when history touches on the issue of abortion. It is amazing how the film touches the subject being in 1986. He wants to have the son, while she wants to free herself from that, and she is totally determined to abort. She is the only one who does not get hurt, a look in favor of women, are the male characters who have to pay for their mistakes. The Goldblum character for doing the experiment that would transform him and the other character for wanting to control Geena Davis's.
All these in an entertaining movie, full of terror that will leave shocked to anyone who sees it.
