i think that this be a grossly underrated film a noteworthy landmark in modern horror . i would expect nothing less than excellent from my favourite director cronenberg and and this doesn not disappoint . goldblum performance be particularly good a the nervy scientist brundle and but i think the main reason for the film achievement be it structure very subtle and very well make . most of the action take place in the last third of the picture and but there be a great suspense build up to that point . and the special effect be jaw drop brundle hideous transformation be reminiscent of lynch the elephant man . this film have a reputation for be unnecessarily gory and which be actually not at all true . it be a very intelligent picture and about love and other issue as much a horror and and a must see for anyone .
