Audience Reviews

John V I remember watching this when I was like 10 years old while staying at a friend's house. That was many decades ago, but this movie is still seared to my memory. I especially remember Vincent Price. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Michael L This is one of the all time greats Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Lou T Having never heard that Cronenberg's The Fly was a remake, I did not expect the original to come close to the quality of the '86 film. I could not have been more wrong. Stripping the grotesque horror that the remake is known for, the original instead focuses on the family and more psychological aspects. The story takes things in a different direction, while still keeping an uncomfortable layer around it all. The cast do a delightfully decent job, but the stage-play-esque acting of the 50's is ever present. The story is told in mostly flashback form, which at points makes you forget that you're in a flashback, as the main story doesn't have the best elements of the film. The visual effects are stunning for the time and hold up, even today. The original sowed creepy seeds which bloomed way beyond expectations, but the charm of The Fly still stands tall. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Jonathan O The original fly is really shattering nightmare of 50's horror film is really really creepy by the make-up design and the last climax well make your skin crawl.
