The remake opts for a slow metamorphosis from man to fly that develops as a disease might. This gives Cronenberg time to examine the implications of such a process, meditating upon our fear of disease, death and change.

Cronenberg's The Fly makes for a good change of pace in the world of horror flicks.

One of the standout horror films of the 1980s.

Cronenberg at the top of his form.

Instead of being a pretty good cautionary fable about the limits of technology, it's a show-and-tell in fifth grade biology.
