It's so perfectly disgusting. Loved it.
Only one rule: don't eat while watching this movie

I´m not much of a horror fan. This is one of the very few exceptions.

The make-up for the Fly looks great even today. Because it´s not CGI, which of course wasn´t available, it´s so much more real and believable.

"The Fly" is a very devastating film. Powerful enough, but not exactly pleasant to look at. Like only the greatest directors can pull this off, Cronenberg overwhelms the audience with a sublime mixture drama, mistery and repulsiveness.

Disgustingly terrifying. Amazing visual effects that stand the test of time they don't make films like this anymore.

**Be afraid. Be very afraid.**

One of the rare remakes that is actually better and more iconic than the original. Croenenberg exploits the Sci Fi concept for all its worth and makes the film into a study of misdirected science and body horror. You will be grossed out and realize you are creeped out by the **PROTAGONIST** of the film. Great acting with Goldblum and Davis in what is practically a three person, one set play. Great fun.

This was very disgusting and grotesque, not to mention devastating. I don't know why it took me so long to watch it, I loved it. It's very well done.

Disgusted me in the same time that made me impressed for build a great tension with such a simple plot. The make up and the practical effects are perfect in this movie. I recommend you don't eat while you are eating!

One of the finer body horror films. Good cast, well acted, interesting idea, and fun practical effects.

The film that most freaked me out as a child

This is the kind of horror movie one should watch as a kid. Traumatizing stuff for young minds.

The practical effects and great acting made this for me.

The gross-out special effects still hold up incredibly well, and stole the show to the point that Chris Walas' name comes first in the closing credits. The beginning and the end of Seth Brundle's gradual metamorphosis are the most disgusting, while I thought he looked kind of cute in the middle.

Cronenberg's direction is controlled and linear, straight to the point while showing a man's rise and fall both in mind and body. The scene in the club and the design of the machines might look a little cartooney today, but other than that, the film still feels incredibly modern and tasteful.

Fascinating how Veronica also transforms from the representation of unethical story-hungry mass media to a heartfelt heroine, as if she was the protagonist of a messed up version of "The Beauty and the Beast". While she still cares for his lover in the middle of his physical decline, she will take distance only after he starts to become a real asshole.

Too disgusting to be enjoyed.

Cronenberg doubles down on the yuk fest in the classic. This was all kinds of wow 30+ years ago and it still has the same effect today. This is an absolute gem.

It all started with a Vice Presidential Debate in Utah.

Classic ’80s gross-out horror with an analytical science fiction twist. I admire the way this skips the typical pleasantries and dives right into the action, omitting any back-story to commence with the freak show everyone in the audience came to see; expertly streamlined, it's non-stop substance without a dull moment.

Despite the occasional campy slip-up, the primary storyline has actually aged surprisingly well and still plays as an eye-widening exhibit of suspense and repulsion. Jeff Goldblum, with his quick lip, piercing eyes and slightly inhuman appearance, may have been born for his role as the brainy, socially awkward science geek-turned guinea pig that sparks the entire affair. Despite a throwaway evil ex-boyfriend angle that lingers around its fringes and a title that shamelessly gives away its biggest moment, this remains an unpredictable thrill ride of an experiment with a one-track mind, a few serious questions about the rate of scientific progress and some great visual effects.

The movie is quite unpleasant, in a good way. I mean, the effects of the mutation are very good. The story is quite different from the Simpsons version (my reference), making it more terrifying. It is one of the few films that has disgusted me and made me feel scared by science.

It is one of the best B movie of Science fiction together with Re-Animator (1985)…

Jeff Goldblum's hair is great at the start of this. Not so much by the end though. Some really great effects. I like Geena Davis a lot.

Good body horror. Basic story paced well. It often takes the grossest or worst case scenarios and slaps you with them. I'd have liked a small taste of fly vision... anywya there is an ongoing love story that does carry more emotion that you'd expect from a horror. The cast were good choices. The sets are good. The puppets and effects are just a big a part of the mogie as anything. It's timeless.

9/10 visual effects best of!
