Superior to the original.

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2006)

The Fly tells the story of an eccentric scientist named Seth Brundle that has invented a device that teleports inanimate objects but has a problem with transporting live things. He meets Veronica Quaife, an eager journalist that hopes to document Seth's work. They end up falling in love, and in the heat of a moment, Seth goes through the telepod. Unfortunately, a fly gets into the machine with him, and their genes splice together, slowly mutating Seth into a half fly half human hybrid.
This remake of the 50's sci fi film is a better film all around with a better plot, better dialogue, better acting and it's creepier. David Cronenberg injects his bizarre style into the film making it a unique horror film. The special effects and make-up were so amazing that they earned the film an Oscar. It's really cool to watch as Seth gets more powerful, but then begins to deteriorate into a disgusting mutation. The film is also filled with raw emotion due to the beauty and the beast love story.
Even though there's really only 3 people in this movie, it's not boring at all, and the 3 stars play their roles to perfection. The Fly is a masterpiece, chilling in its delivery with an ending that could cause sensitive people to tear up.
8/10
