ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

filmbaker Now, when it comes to movies, anything that's hokey or flawed in the movie lets me give it an imperfect rating, whether it be 0 or 99. The Fly didn't have that kind of flaw. The acting was completely well done, the creature had an actual background, and there was enough mystery, suspense, and horror to make this romance movie well done. I suppose my favorite thing about the movie was the acting. None of them were bad in any way. Plus, the story had some truly and unforgettably iconic moments. The Fly is definitely a perfect movie. I believe it is best you watch this movie without knowing anything about it. Otherwise, you may have an idea of what's going on. If you know nothing, then you'll expect nothing. If you expect nothing, you will not be subject to any disappointment. The Fly, in my opinion, is a perfect movie. Not even some of the movie world's most memorable films rival this.

SnoopyStyle In a Montreal machine shop, scientist Andre Delambre (Al Hedison) is found crush to death with his wife Helene (Patricia Owens) at the controls. She calls to confess to his brother Francois (Vincent Price). With the head crushed, Francois identifies the body with a long scar on his leg. Helene's confession seems suspicious and Andre's basement lab is trashed. Helene seems obsessed with flies and Francois pretends to have captured a white-headed fly. Helene recounts the story to him and Inspector Charas. Andre had succeeded in making a teleportation device.This is much better than a simple 50's B-movie. The story is actually quite compelling. The acting is relatively good. Vincent Price is playing it straight. The production looks good. The directions are a little stiff which is the style of the day. It is still the story that is so great and the reveal is absolutely iconic.

brian_m_hass Most people who watch "The Fly" for the first time are already well acquainted with the movie's story. A scientist invents a teleporter and becomes involved in an accident. No further details of the story will be revealed here.There are differences between "The Fly" and modern horror films. This film seems quite gentle and old fashioned in its approach. Hardcore sci-fi fans might notice a few logic errors in the story; but, one has to ignore those things in an older film such as this one. "The Fly" doesn't show as much to the audience as modern horror films tend to do; but, there is something to be said about less being more.This was a very well done movie. The scene of the fly crying "Help me!" from the spider web was particularly chilling. It was a well written and well acted story. The film had great characters as well. The fact that Vincent Price was in the movie was a definite plus; because, Price was excellent in every film in which he appeared. "The Fly" is a classic which should not be missed.

Red_Identity I read the sort story and this is a very faithful adaptation. What it lacks is that extra mystery and doom that the short story gives off in tone, but this film manages to be weirdly creepy and also funny. It's a lot of fun and sort of ridiculous, but it never goes overboard in its campiness. I haven't seen the Cronenberg one but this is definitely recommended, the acting from the leads is pretty great and it makes you wonder if they knew they were going for camp or not. If I have a complaint, it's that the short story's ending is much more effective, and things tidy up a little too much here. Still, definitely good to watch, with people.
