The Fly (1986)
... for the
first time...
And wow. WOW. They just don't make movies like that anymore. They truly don't. I can absolutely see why this movie is an iconic classic - Great sci-fi plot, fantastic acting, and a great monster that is both horrifying and sympathetic, the best kind of monster.
It's interesting... After seeing the pointless abomination that was
The Wolfman remake, I completely appreciate this film even more. Instead of simply copying source material, it took the original concept and
expanded it... Almost more like a sequel than a remake.
I loved how I felt simultaneous pathos and repulsion for Seth Brundle, who was masterfully played by Jeff Goldbloom. And, even better, the awesome
24-year-old special effects made me cringe and my jaw drop more than once.
Awesome scifi horror that absolutely stands the test of time.
4.5/5.
