cronenberg and insects...

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2004)

I have always been a film lover who feels that if a movie doesn't contain at least three startling images which will live on in my memory forever, it will likely be forgotten. The Fly contains more than any other Cronenberg movie: The vomit, the elbow, each new stage in the metamorphosis as Brundle sees himself change in the mirror. Tragic, beautiful, horrifying, this is superior to the original in that we witness the effect the change has on Brundle's body, mind and on the few people who care for him. Great effects and performances from all.the sequel was average, though has a nice head squash scene. 8 out of 10
