The Fly (1958) Review:
The Fly is an early classic of horror/sci-fi and the original story that inspired David Cronenberg’s cult film of the same name 28 years later.
In my humble opinion, this 1958 film has it all: a wonderful and original science-fiction plot, a set of great actors, perfect acting as well as some fascinating special effects for the time.
The film can be seen in two different parts. In the first one, the scientist’s wife Helene admits that she just killed her husband. As the police investigator and the victim’s brother (Vincent Price) try to understand why, the mystery thickens quickly and at this point, if you do not know the story in advance, what is to follow would be like a punch in the face. Unfortunately, we all know the story in advance (the title saying it all anyway) and so the surprise is only in how it does happen. When Helene finally decides to tell her story, the film goes into a flashback retracing the horrific story of a man and a fly that entered the teleportation machine together.
