Critics Consensus: Deliciouly funny to some and eerily presicient to others, The Fly walks a fine line between shlocky fun and unnerving nature parable.

Kristin Battestella

Catching a little fly makes for some interesting suspense as the distorted bug views build toward an intense insect reveal and wonderful, albeit tiny, shockers.

Mark Leeper's Reviews

Mark R. Leeper

THE FLY (1958) is a film that surprised even its producers. I would contend that the reason this film had the impact that it did is that it really is very much an archetypal story, an "Oedipus Rex" for the scientific age.

Background music is used effectively and the camera's shots of the man-fly are startling. For true horror, catch The Fly.

Like the very best monster movies, the creature itself isn't revealed until very late into the picture.

The climax ("Help me!") has given many viewers chills while providing others with chuckles -- I'm in the former camp; the primal terror of that situation never fails to move me -- and the rest is efficient in its solemnity.
