Review of The Fly (1986) by Inaneswine — 14 Nov 2017
Who knew that the adaptation of a '50s B-movie into such a grotesque-looking film could result in one of the most moving horror stories ever told? Pogue and Cronenberg devise an almost Shakespearian sense of tragedy in their screenplay, with the chemistry between Goldblum and Davis selling the emotion of it perfectly.
And while the special effects are repulsive enough to turn the strongest of stomachs, one has to admire the craftsmanship of it. Simply the best remake ever committed to film.
