Chreepy crawly horror movie about a mad scientist who uses a weird machine that accidentally grafts his body with a fly. Cult classic.

Vincent Price is a God.I loved this movie, even when I was a child, there's alittle bit of sci-fi nerd in all of us, and this film is the perfect vent for it.
-
MCT:April 17, 2008A classic drive-in movie that isn't great and relies on that one great scene to keep its mystique alive. The Fly is no exception and the scene at hand is brilliant and horrifing. The spider devouring it's pray before being smashed by the rock is simply one of the most disturbing scenes ever recored (at least if you hate spiders as much as I do).
-
MCT:April 12, 2008A great 1950s sci-fi/horror movie about a scientist's experiments with the transfer of solid matter from one place to another that go horribly wrong when he tries to transport himself and an unexpected passenger goes along for the ride. Horror legend Vincent Price plays a good guy in this one for a change and the excellent colour cinemascope photography makes this a visually rewarding viewing experience.
-
MCT:March 6, 2008This film is a lot better than the '80s version. It focused more on the story between the husband and wife, and how scientists shouldn't meddle with nature, which is the real point of the story.
-
MCT:February 27, 2008Goldblum may have grossed us out in his version, but I was spooked more by the fly screaming for help caught in a web. Ew!

La forma de narrarla y las actuaciones hacen que se le pueden perdonar por mucho la falta de efectos de la epoca.
-
MCT:November 29, 2007Cheesier than Wisconsin. I've never thought Vincent Price was scary. He's the Liberace of horror movies.

A classic horror creature feature that has so much heart...but too little bringing it out. Too long and too litle of the problem is mangled with the already dominant insanity gig. but when the creature is on screen, the film takes to flight.

Como as máquinas podem transformar o homem?
Quando elas se agigantam diante de nós não é verdade que parecemos insetos?
Eu só fui entender isso após os diálogos do original.
Se bem que David Cronemberg nunca alcançaria Neumaan trabalhando para a tirania dos efeitos. -

I recommend watching both versions of "The Fly": ths original and the remake with Jeff Goldblum. Both have their qualities, but comparing the two will give you some appreciation for time periods in which each was filmed. The original was no doubt terrifying in its day, but watching it now it seems almost cute. It's still a great movie and worth watching.

From what I remember about this movie, I really liked it. I wasn't crazy about the remake though. That man looking like a fly and puking on his donut just didn't do much for me.
-

The best version of this story one of my favourites, very tragic and brilliantly original for its time
-

Although this may have been incredibly realistic in it's day the costumes department would win a golden raspberry if this film was re-realised currently. As the sceintist transforms he hust wears a mask and a claw. The only reason to watch this film in my opinion is to see how far we have come. If you are a die Hard B-Movieist you may disagree.

Not as good as the original story, and not as good as the re-make. Still a very enjoyable film though.
-
MCT:May 28, 2007
i will always love the older movies..thisis good example of an original that was re done..that can never be outdone.
-
MCT:April 6, 2007
Its worth a watch, the remake did it more than justice but this still has one of the best horror endings i can remember
-

Fantastic first telling of the story of a scientist who begins turning into a fly. Classic and original story (in its time) with an as usual great performance by Vincent Price, this is one of te few slow and subtle movies that enthralled me even as a child. The now classic "help me" scene is still enough to send chills up the spine. Classic horror in every sense, and worthy of all the buzz. Yes I went there.

Classic hokey horror from the Hammer school with some hilariously bad effects and a classically silly ending! Daft fun.
-
MCT:February 27, 2007
Another Vincent Price classic. It's creepy and relies on the "less is more" technique...which puts it leaps and bounds beyond it's remake.
-
MCT:February 6, 2007Old movie. The special effects are laughable by today's standards. I remember being grossed out by this when I was younger.
-
MCT:January 7, 2007
To see it now, it looks abit cheesy but when i saw it in my younger days, it sure worked well for me.

Another one that deftly straddles the line between horror and sci-fi. Either way you look at it, though, that scene where Helene first sees what's become of Andre is horrifying.
