The Fly | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The Fly is a mass-market, horror film masterpeice that is also a work of art.

“Romance” isn’t alway the first word that comes to mind when describing David Cronenberg’s nasty body horror nightmares, but The Fly is nothing if not a deeply loving film.

Cronenberg has layered the story with so many possible interpretations and resonances that one's head swims.

This movie is convincing, it’s emotionally raw (and it’s a horror film about people in a situation, rather than a horror film where the situation is really a metaphor for grief or whatever), and it’s so much harder to watch than I expected.
