_**Slowly turning into a monster, aka slowly succumbing to age**_

An eccentric scientist living in a warehouse laboratory in a big city in the Northeast (Jeff Goldblum) discovers how to teleport objects, which draws the attention of a journalist (Geena Davis). Everything is going fine until he foolishly uses his invention on himself and a pesky fly inadvertently teleports with him. John Getz is on hand as the woman’s editor while Joy Boushel has a notable small role as Tawny.

“The Fly” (1986) has a lot of devotees presumably because of director/writer David Cronenberg, but I found it less effective compared to the 1958 version with Vincent Price. Despite the gory state-of-the-art effects, it’s just not as compelling or horrifying (especially that final scene in the original). The one-dimensional locations are also a turn-off: Excluding the great bar scene the whole movie takes place in a grungy lab or a swank office building.

The cast trilogy is exceptionally tall. While Goldblum (6’4½”) is serviceable and gives it his all, he’s not leading man material, although he’s fine in secondary roles. And I was never big on Davis, but she’s a’right I guess. At least the two absolutely look & act like they were meant for each other.

In its favor, the movie is a metaphor for how aging & disease slowly destroys the body. Despite the sickening visuals, it’s heartbreaking and tragic, which you might not expect in a sci-fi flick about a guy who morphs into a fly. It thankfully avoids the rut of camp and melodrama.

The film runs 1 hour, 36 minutes, and was shot in Toronto with studio work done in nearby Kleinburg.

GRADE: B-/C+

Nobody could ever call Jeff Goldbum a versatile actor, but here he is very much in his element as “Brundle”. A madcap scientist, he dreams of being able to teleport things just like Willy Wonka does in 1971. He is almost as keen on journalist “Veronica” (Geena Davis) and so offers her exclusive access to follow and film his research. That all goes remarkably well – first a scarf, then more animated objects before, finally, himself. Snag is – well a fly just happened to sneak into the pod before the transferal and next thing he and his new dipteral cousin start a journey to the symbiotic relationship from Hell. He can crawl on the ceiling; fly and most impressively – dissolve his victims in his own vomit! David Cronenberg is having great fun with this as is Goldblum. The dialogue is entertaining and there is the most bizarre degree of chemistry between him and Davis who turns in one of her career defining performances. The visual and make-up effects – especially towards the end – offer a fitting denouement to this gory and frequently amusing sci-fi horror film that is nearly, but not quite, as good as the version from 1958. Certainly worth watching on a big screen if you can – somehow it just looks so much better there.

“Drink deep and think not of the plasma spring”!
When I was a kid, one of the first horror flicks I ever saw was Vincent Price’s “The Fly” with that creepy ‘Pleeeeese, help me’ ending that I couldn’t shake out of my young head for a long time. This film takes the same basic premise and raises it a considerable notch with some fine moments by Jeff Goldblum in the title role. What I still like about the older sci-fi and horror flicks is the way they use pseudo-scientific explanations for whatever the subject terror might be. This one sounded pretty convincing with that business about the fusion of Brundle and the fly at the molecular-genetic level.

One of the brilliant things about Goldblum’s performance is the way he mimics fly behavior starting with the endless cup of sugar. The early touches with the wiry hair effect and the preliminary disfigurement are nicely juxtaposed with Brundle’s disproportionate new strength and acrobatic ability. I recall when I saw this the first time that I wondered when we would see Brundle walking around on the ceiling and sure enough, they eventually got around to creating a nicely convincing scene of it.

The thing I didn’t find particularly believable though was Ronnie’s (Geena Davis) willingness to stick it out to the very end with fly-man. The clincher for me was when she hugged him right after his ear fell off. I mean, you REALLY had to take it on faith that she was trying to remain true to her feelings for the man she started to fall in love with. But gee, you can only take that idea so far.

Thinking about that pregnancy side story, it seemed pretty obvious that the ending left it open for an eventual sequel that never panned out. On the other hand, I’d hate to put Geena Davis through that again, especially since she would have had to deal with another monster.

But you know, I could go along with all the creepy fly stuff and the grotesque makeup job. However the one thing I really couldn’t figure out in all this – who would ever name their kid Stathis Borans?
