David Cronenberg’s The fly in strong contention for the best horror film of the ’80s. It’s a cool stone masterpiece that hasn’t lost an ounce of its power. It continues to hold influence over pop culture sufficiently, if I made a telepod joke, you would know exactly what I was referring to.
I love Cronenberg’s The fly And it would be easy to put in a list of my favorite movies. But also on that list would be the original adaptation of George Langelaan’s short story that gave the world famous line, “Help me!”
The fly Originally, theater screens struck in 1958 directed by Kurt Neumann. The story is similar to the Cronenberg version in its most basic default: a bright eye scientist creates teleporting devices that he hopes to revolutionize the world. Unfortunately, he gets a little too eager to try his experiment on himself. Because there is an insect in the Chamber, there is a horrific fusion that leaves the scientist malformed.
Sounds pretty in line with Cronenberg version. But the story focuses more on the scientist’s wife, Helene, as she tries to help her husband and figure out exactly what has gone wrong. Not to mention that Vincent Price was hoping around as the scientist’s brother. It’s more of a family story in the original film and one I would recommend to any family with a good film flavor.
Much like Cronenberg’s The fly It is arguably the best sci-fi/horror movie from his decade, Neumann’s The fly Definitely able to try a claim to be the best Sci-Fi/Horror film from the 1950s. The lovely color production on its own is a standout for the decade, but it is also a fact that 20th Century Fox has really put their confidence behind the film as more than Quickie B.
There is no more evident place than the historical disclosure of scientist Andre Delambre with his shocking fly head. It is still a daunting and specialized piece of monster horror. When people talk about the greatest terror in the history of horror movie, The fly He needs to be in that conversation.
But the most famous moment of The fly is when the flight from the telepod is found trapped on a spider web. He is shown to have Andre’s human head and hand as he screams for help. It is one of the most iconic moments in movies regardless of genre.
As films continue to get older, their audience continues to decrease. Cronenberg’s The fly manages to find new viewers but Neumann’s The fly Loses potential fans with every passing year.
And that’s sucking. The fly is an amazing film that only seems dated through the eyes of Bores. The fact that he is almost seventy -year -old does not mean that he should be fully reduced. It’s a fast little story that sets a standard for the genre.
I want to believe The fly still find fans in the coming years. I really hope that only one person watches The fly Because of this article. If you do that, let me know if you liked it!
