การให้คะแนนและรีวิว

This 80s sci fi horror flick is quite dated and slow paced, but it makes up for that with a top notch performance from Jeff Golbum, a great orchestral score, and some amazing makeup that still holds up today. Required viewing for any horror fan.

I was never a fan of the original Fly. I always thought it was campy and cheesy. But the David Cronenberg remake is a spectacular masterpiece. The film is a twisted marriage of science and flesh that Cronenberg embodies similar to the way he did with Videodrome. The Fly is great old school classic Cronenberg. And Jeff Goldblums darkly humored visceral performance really complements the tragic character he's playing. A disgusting dark cerebral blast. A great intelligent horror movie.

This film is usually billed as sci-fi, horror, or sci-fi horror, and it is these things; however, I have always been of the opinion that it is, in spirit, a tragedy. One of my favorite movies--not just in Cronenberg's catalog, but of all time--as sad as it is, the real tragedy would be for you not to watch it. 5 stars.
