The Fly (1986)

The Fly (1986): A big screen love story unlike anything you’ve ever seen, David Cronenberg’s ‘80s update of The Fly is as terrifyingly tragic as its ultra-gooey Oscar-winning special effects are jaw-droppingly grotesque. When an eccentric scientist (Jeff Goldblum) uses himself as a test subject, he soon discovers himself devolving into something not quite human, with disastrous consequences to the relationship with his reporter girlfriend (Geena Davis). Bringing his body horror fascination to the mainstream, Cronenberg crafts a gross-out masterpiece that targets the heart as well as the stomach.
