BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

kiralariviere I have just finished the movie The Fly from 1958. It's about a scientist who ends up having a horrific accident when and experiment with his new device he invented that can make objects go from one end of the room to next in a matter of seconds goes wrong. A fly gets trapped with him when he tries to use the device on himself. Then the hunt is on for the fly that has a white head and leg....but it's found too late. What a thrilling movie to watch! I recommend it if you like science fiction movies! It gets a high rating from me! I enjoyed watching this movie and I hope that my review gets you to want to watch this classic example of science fiction at it's best! Enjoy!

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.

gavin6942 A scientist (David Hedison) has a horrific accident when he tries to use his newly invented teleportation device.The creators of this film made an interesting decision: casting Vincent Price in a supporting role rather than the lead. Of course, if he was the lead, he would have his face covered and relatively few lines to speak. So maybe that was the clincher.This film really embraces the 1950s science fiction boom, with the giant computer and invention. Is this a "mad scientist"? Not in the least. Although he is not a particularly logical or well-reasoned scientist. Who tests something on the family cat before using something smaller, like a dead fish? And who tests things on themselves before others? Foolish.

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.
