31 Days of Horror 2: The Fly (1986)

October 19, 2009: The Fly (1986)

You think Jeff Goldblum is strange? Well he's really strange when he takes on the role of "The Fly".

David Cronenberg's remake of the 1958 classic becomes a moving portrait of a man and his lover attempting to come to terms with his physical disintegration. "The Fly" stars Jeff Goldblum as a spaced-out scientist who invents a genetic teleportation machine and accidentally transforms himself into a fly. In the horrifyingly graphic detail that is his trademark, Cronenberg depicts the scientist's painful mutation from human into insect. What gives the film its tragic dimension is the emotional depth of the relationship between the scientist and his journalist girlfriend (Geena Davis) as she witnesses his slow, painful metamorphosis.

Everyone must of seen this movie already, because it's just a genuinely creepy movie and it's awesome. This film sees the original and raises it one hell of a remake and it does it with such style and love.
