David Cronenberg's The Fly is that absolute rarity of the '80s: a film that is at once a pure, personal expression and a superbly successful commercial enterprise. David Cronenberg directs this meditation on obsession and power, creating a pitch perfect mad scientist story.

When an experiment goes horrifically wrong, scientist Seth Brundle begins to experience a metamorphosis that threatens to overtake his humanity.

Cronenberg handles Brundle's transformation into a giant fly masterfully, utilizing creature effects that still make audiences sick to their stomachs thirty something years later. Truly one of the better examples of the modern monster movie. As a remake, The Fly transcends the original, taking it in new directions and exploring its underutilized potential.
