THE FLY (1986)

'''THE FLY. David Cronenberg, dir., co-author of script.''' USA: Brooksfilms, 1986. Jeff Goldblum, star. Remake with significant changes of Kurt Neumann's 1958 film (based on the short story by George Langelaan).

A rather touching love story significant here for its funky-looking contemporary laboratory and for the fusion in the final sequence of man, fly, and machine. Briefly handled Bruce Kirkland, "THE FLY," Cinefantastique 16 (July 1986): 15 f. See this Category, VIDEODROME. (Caution: Cronenberg's THE FLY can be rough going for people figuratively weak of stomach or literally strong of gag mechanism.)
