The Fly II (1989)

My Rating

Movie Info

Chris Walas, the makeup and animatronics director on David Cronenberg's remake of The Fly, takes a stab at directorial duties in this sequel. Before Seth Brundle morphed into scrap metal in the original The Fly, he managed to leave behind the seed of his legacy, and at the start of The Fly 2 his son, Martin (Eric Stoltz), has suffered an accelerated growth, thanks to his fly genes.

Audience Reviews for The Fly II

Quite the pleasant surprise for me to discover that 'The Fly II' isn't a disgrace from the rarefied heights of Cronenberg's masterpiece.

In this same way that the original Fly movie did not need a sequel, but got one anyway, the remake gets an unneeded sequel as well. Don't waste time watching this movie, it's not bad, just annoying.
