Dan O'Neill85 - The Fly is a little too over-the-top at points, but David Cronenberg perfectly mashes all of these different elements of romance, drama, and horror as well as a great leading role from Jeff Goldblum to give is a disgusting but emotionally well-told film.

Bryan Lienesch75 - It's more a sci-fi misadventure then it is a horror. It's An American Werewolf in London meets Back To The Future
