The Fly - Movie Trailer
1986 | R | 96 min | Sci-Fi, Horror, Drama | DCP
A botched experiment transmutes a man into a monstrous insect.
Featuring an Introduction by Writer and Film Critic Frank Falisi
“In his quest to achieve instant teleportation via his “telepods”, brilliant, eccentric scientist Seth Brundle (brilliant, eccentric Jeff Goldblum) accidentally becomes fused with a housefly,” according to Falisi. “As Brundle adapts to his mutating body and morphed romance with Ronnie (Geena Davis, the best) David Cronenberg remixes Kurt Neumann’s Atomic Age thriller to be as goopily harrowing as it is devastatingly romantic.”
