Emotional and horrific.

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2016)

I remember clearly seeing The Fly on it's original release,I was a lot younger then,and love had not played it's part in my life at that point,I had seen it a few times since and liked it,I love horror Sci/fi, but after seeing it again recently,I realized just what a masterpiece it was. Goldblum and Davis are very likable believable people,excellent performances from both,and this just adds to the devastating heartbreak and horror of the films second half,the movie really packs an emotional punch,combined with the brilliant makeup design and a genuinely creepy performance from Goldblum,it leaves me drained and shocked by the events on screen. This is very much a Cronenberg film,and along with The Dead Zone,is the most accessible of his earlier films,which basically means you are in for something thought provoking and original. The Fly is amazing,give it a second look,it deserves to be watched over and over.
