Review of The Fly. Be afraid, be very afraid.
The Fly is the horror film about a scientist who creates a teleportation device and when he teleports himself, a fly sneaks in and his DNA combines with the fly's. He then slowly and disgustingly morphs into a 185 lb. fly. Yes, it's a gross as it sounds. This movie is so graphic and ugly, my stomach literally flipped. If you love guts and gore in your films, this is exactly what you're looking for. For a film made in 1980 I'm surprised how well they create the nasty visuals. Really, I can NOT stress enough how gross this movie is. But beside that, Jeff Goldblum provides an eerily fantastic preformance as Seth Brundle, or "Brundlefly." Geena Davis plays a decent role as Ronnie, the romantic flame in the film. Yes, I said romantic flame and trust me, it's recognized. There's also a supenseful score and that does improve the credits significantly.The Verdict:The Fly is not for the weak of heart. It is nasty. But if you can dig deep enough, you can find great acting, a great script, and a frieghtened feeling that won't leave you for a long time. I give it five telepod-flies out of five. 5/5.
