Wildly imaginative, gut-wrenchingly scarifying and profoundly primal (not to mention funny), David Cronenberg's The Fly is a movie that whacks you in the solar plexus and leaves you gasping. August 4, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

What's good about the film are the strong performances and the ingenious, mostly amusing script. What's ugly, of course, is the grossness. And what's bad is the movie's inability to reconcile its good and ugly aspects. August 4, 2013 | Full Review…

As slimy and as grotesque as some of its special effects become, The Fly is a far superior horror film to the top-grossing film in America of late, Aliens. August 4, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

The Fly seizes on our ingrained, instinctive horror of sexuality, the sense of shame that our fundamentally puritanical society can't help but teach us, and by confirming our worst fears, helps us, for a moment, to move beyond them. August 4, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

It's almost as good as Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake and easily David Cronenberg's best film. May 27, 2020 | Full Review…

A splendid direction and a constant sense of tension that Cronenberg prints to the footage and that is masterfully exposed during that climax of hallucination. [Full Review in Spanish] April 18, 2020 | Full Review…

For all its fetishistic attention to gross-out elements, what primarily distinguishes the film is its love story. December 15, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

With a small but top-notch cast, it's not only a credible love story but a morality tale that goes far beyond the familiar '50s bromide that there are some things God didn't intend us to know. November 15, 2019 | Full Review…
