"The White-Headed Fly" of 1959 wins a remake at the hands of the great and stylish David cronenberg, long that had everything to be more a movie trash movie, or worse, to be a total joke, but the excellent direction of Croneberg removes all The risks of the film being bad, despite an absurd script, we have a movie style, transgressor and that goes from this comedy to suspense going through a good dose of science fiction. It tells the story of Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a scientist who can find a way to teleport, and in the middle of his experiments he ends up merging his DNA with a fly, and ends up transmuting itself in the insect during the film. This is the script that Croneberg takes in his hand and the ciarra, and makes the trash, a cult. The rhythm of the film is completely linear, although the film is extremely short, it is well solved in what it claims to have, but it has a problem, it was not enough to develop the characters, numerous subplots are created, and none of them is solved. The film pincel deal with a moral about the human ego and the pursuit of professional accomplishment but ends up dealing with love, which is the same regardless of physical appearance, but it is nothing that we have not seen in 500 other films, which we We have not seen in 500 other films is his art direction, which is wonderful, with great and salve highlight the fly that is terrifyingly realistic in all its phases, spectacular work, all hi tech side of the film, which although it is cliché to Season, is very well worked out, and his gray photography does not let us lie that we are seeing a movie from the 80s. Just as jack nicholson already seemed crazy about this first scene of "The Enlightened One", Jeff Goldblum already seems a strange being from this The first scene of the film, this is not bad, its performance is good, and the same fulfills its role, the dramatic charge is more for Geena Davis, and she can handle and develop this load, not brilliantly, but Competently. "The Fly" will not be on the list of best movies, but its boldness and transgression are notorious, and the work of David Croneberg will always be remembered.

David Cronenberg's The Fly is one of my favourite horror films. It tells a multi-layered human story with believable well-motivated characters. It is set before the introduction of CGI and utilises prosthetic makeup for the creature effects. There is no better effect than that of Jeff Goldblum's acting though. His fast speaking and twitching become utterly convincing as he gets more and more fly-like in his journey. I watched this film again recently and was happily appreciative of how well it holds up today. It has hardly dated at all.

To me, The Fly is the crowning jewel of 80s Sci-Fi horror. The animatronics, the special effects make-up, the acting, the story... It all makes for a great movie. From start to finish, this movie is a masterpiece.What I loved about the movie right off the bat was that it did not mess around. The movie starts in the middle of a conversation between the 2 main characters, and Brundle is explaining exactly what the movie is about. From then on the story just flows brilliantly, with no dilly-dallying. There's no mystery, there's no ambiguity, its just a story about an inventor and his machine.The artistry that went into the make-up, and the Brundle-Fly possibly make this movie stand out as the most realistic looking 80s horror. The Fly didn't need to be shadowed, or ambiguously shot, to hide any flaws.Jeff Goldblum's acting is creepy, and suits the character so well. You really got a feeling of discomfort for Gina Davis's character.One scene that really caught me by surprise was the baboon and the fly. It really baffles me how they were able to film a fly and a baboon together in the same shot, and seem as though they could direct them both with ease.

The fly is about a Scientist. His new invention is about teleportation. He is successful in his experiment. But he was not happy that he was not able to teleport living thing or flesh. With the help of his new girl friend, he experiments with flesh. Finally, succeeds by cheating and confusing the computer. When he was alone, drunk and angry, he tries to teleport himself. It seems to be successful. But, his girl friend notices the changes. He believed that he was just filtered, like a filter coffee, all the bad things were taken out from him. But, the worst was yet to come. There wan an expected partner to his teleportation, a fly.Deserved winning for the Best Make up at the Oscars.
