Parece que me estoy aficionando a hacer pequeñas reseñas. Se vienen cositas gente. En fin, The Fly. Habíendola terminado hace segundos hay que decir que esta es la mejor película que he visto de David Cronenberg. Y me parece que lo es no sólo por cómo la disfruté sino porque agarra todo los elementos que los caracteriza y los ejecuta muy bien. Tienes un tema principal expuesto a través de ... read more

I had already seen this one but it was really ages ago so I thought it was time for a re-watch. Eventually, this time again, I wasn't disappointed by the damned thing.

"The Fly" stars Jeff Goldblum as a spaced-out scientist who invents a genetic teleportation machine and accidentally transforms himself into a fly. In the horrifyingly graphic detail that is his trademark, Cronenberg depicts the scientist's painful mutation from human into insect. What gives the film its tragic dimension is the emotional depth of the relationship between the scientist and his journalist girlfriend (Geena Davis) as she witness ... (more)

"Pros: Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. The gooey effects work One of David Cronenberg’s best movies. Music score by Howard Shore 80’s Toronto as it’s setting. Con: The film’s body horror, might be a turn off for some. "

Terror Blurbs! Part II (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)

"Plot: Caught in emotional turmoil, Seth Brundle -a brilliant scientist- uses himself as a test subject to catastrophic results. A shining example of a remake that improves over the original film and source material exponentially. The Fly is a both a cautionary tale of science gone awry and a twisted, tragic love story. Director David Cronenberg's brand of visceral body horror blends well with elements of a classic horror piece, bridging a gap between his more cerebral works and more mainstream"
