David Cronenberg Series: The Fly at The Trylon
David Cronenberg’s masterful 1986 remake of The Fly ranks among the most disgusting films ever made by a major studio, packed with stomach-churning images of a scientist’s slow, excruciating metamorphosis into an insect. But the true horror comes from the man slowly receding from himself and the woman he loves. Brilliantly played by Jeff Goldblum, who adds great emotional depth to his usual spaced-out otherworldliness, the character breaks from the protagonist of the 1958 version in that he can articulate the changes in his body right to the very end. Take away the big shocks and special effects, and The Fly is about nothing more or less sensational than death itself.
