someone decide to remake a camp horror movie . one thing for sure and that it get to be good than than the original where a man who swap head with a fly walk about a house with head gear that look like michael jackson blanket baby costume hey i enjoy this remake a lot and be certainly david cronenberg most mainstream movie . like most successful horror movie ( hellraiser for example ) it confine itself to human element like desire and hubris along with a love triangle and use a limited number of location in this case most of the action take place in seth brundle apartment . there something present here that be totally lack in nearly every horror movie of the 1970s and 80 and that pathos and we feel sorry for brundle a he have his gene splice and start to mutate into brundlefly and in many way the movie feel more like an update of james whale frankenstien or a remake of the wolf man feature an insect mutation instead of lycanthropy . this type of poignancy be absent from the 1980s where horror hero be freddy kruegar who be an ethereal child molester kill by vigilante parent . that alone make the fly unique . the final scene be brundlefly emerges from the teleport after merge with metal and want veronica to end his suffering be a truly touching scene almost unheard of in the genre be an 1980s movie mean be devoid of cgi and count your blessing for that because the make up here deserve throughly deserve the oscar it win . true maybe some of the gore be excessive but the final transformation of brundlefly be very impressive . jaw drop in fact . we also get to see undoubtedly jeff goldblum best performance play seth brundle in not a too dissimilar way that tom baker play the doctor in doctor who though it fairly obvious that when brundle do gymnastics it a body double since the camera never focus on brundle face . the support cast also play their part a if theyre in a serious film and especially geena davis which make the fly an even more involve experience . if the actor believe in the story so will the audience an outstanding horror movie from a decade that feature nothing but teenager get slice and dice by serial killer that couldn not be kill and and a horror movie that shouldn not be remake under any circumstance . what that . hollywood have just start on a remake . no doubt doubt we will see leonardo dicario or johhny depp star in a movie bulge with cgi . i will be go out of my way not to watch it .
