Brian Donlevy, Burt Kwouk, Carole Gray

Remember that scientist that was trying to perfect a matter transportation machine but got fused with a fly when one of the little critters got into the transporter with him? Well, this story is about...( read more  read more... ) three of his descendents (a son, Henri Delambre, played by Brian Donlevy and two grandsons). Seems the son wants to continue and perfect the machine while his two sons want to get out of the scientist business and live "normal" lives. The oldest son, Martin, decides to take a wife (who just happens to have escaped from a mental hospital after her parents died). Martin's father is not happy with this intrusion but finally gives in because he understands his son's needs. They all try to be a happy family until humans used in botched experiments are discovered by the new bride and the police nearly discover the lab while looking for Martin's wife. Everyone tries to get out of there via the transporter but things just don't go according to plan ...

    I wasn't too impressed by "Return of the Fly", but it still fascinated me! When I learnt that there was a third one, I was quite intrigued to see it. I just watched it for the first time on DVD, and I was quite impressed on how smart the story was, and even though there is no Hum...( read more)an-Fly monster in it (which, to be honest, is a smart approach), I thought it was more clever to base the movie around the Delambre legacy, rather than focus on the whole "man gets gene-spliced with a fly" blah blah blah! To be honest, I was expecting something REALLY dreadfully cheesy, but surprisingly, I loved it! The visuals (especially, the opening credit sequence, very well thought up!), and the originality of it is superbly done! It's got the classic horror movie style down perfectly! True its not as frightening as say... Alien, but, for its time (1960s), the mutant make up and story are very well sorted! TOTALLY UNDERRATED!

    Sequel to the old original The Fly. Standard mad scientist B-movie horror pic. The scientist who turned himself into a fly before is older now and has had his mutation under control with some chemical. He has two sons too, one who wants to get away from his father's research, ...( read more)and one who is taking after his father. Old creatures, new mutations, and several dead bodies all appear as the old lab equipment is fired back up. It's just not very good. I don't like these B-horror movies much.

    the final installment in the fly trilogy...
    suspensefull and spooky,it actually made me jump a couple of times.
    pretty much the same plot as return of the fly,which is the delambre family continuing work on perfecting their late grandfathers teleportation device,with severe con...( read more)sequences.
    this movie has cool twists,and *no* fly creature... much worse this time..

    This was kind of an improvement over the other two Fly movies. Even though you see the effects of the fly, the experiment results are more gruesome.

    Cool. I loved the remake of the first one.
