The Fly is a 1986 American science fiction horror film directed and co-written by David Cronenberg. Produced by Brooksfilms and distributed by 20th Century Fox, the film stars Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, and John Getz. Loosely based on George Langelaan's 1957 short story of the same name and the 1958 film of the same name, The Fly tells of an eccentric scientist who, after one of his experiments goes wrong, slowly turns into a fly-hybrid creature. The score was composed by Howard Shore and the make-up effects were created by Chris Walas, along with makeup artist Stephan Dupuis.

The Fly might be the best body horror movie of all time
Not even close. But there's an argument to be made for the best remake of all time. This and "The Thing". The disarming thing about the fly is that, just like this reactor, you know what's going to happen after they're finished setting up the plot. What you _don't_ know is that the movie isn't going to be about his transformation. It's going to be about him and ronnie. There are very few character-driven genre movies. The Empire Strikes Back was the character piece that drives that franchise to this day. And people weren't tuning in to the Marvel movies just to see another explosion. They wanted to see what was going to happen to those characters. This where the fly shines, but it doesn't make it the best horror movie of all time.
@@odiumgeneris729 The person you are replying to did not say it is the best horror movie of all time. They said it is the best body horror movie.
@@paulonius42 Well, can't argue with that.
@@paulonius42you are both wrong. He didn't say it is the best body horror either. Keyword "might".
It won the Oscar for Best Make-up and made $60 million dollars against a $14 million dollar budget.
The 60 million part isn't that impressive. 14 mil was a fairly strong budget for a movie in the 80s.
@@shainewhite2781 Jeff should have won an oscar but horror films never get picked his acting was amazing
@@LeviBulgerMaking 4x your budget is impressive however you cut it
@@ZodsSnappedNeck Except you're not taking into account the marketing and studio cut. That 14m figure is just a production budget. Typical films need to make at least 2.5-3x their production budget to be successful in order to pay the studio and marketing costs. So yes, it was definitely successful but nothing like a lot of other horror films of the day that had similar gross numbers but at a fraction of the invested budget.
My father died from cancer 2 years before I saw this.
I saw the movie as an allegory to cancer or some other awful disease.
It certainly stuck with me.
Yup I came to the same conclusion (but experienced the order the other way round).
After you've experienced that, its difficult to unsee it in the movie.
Seth even says it’s presenting as a form of cancer.
I could see that, as a comparison, but I took it more as a lesson of messing with science and tech and not being super cautious.
Yes, it's a horror film. But it's also a love story. Love stories usually have a sad ending. Seth wasn't Seth at the end, but the remaining humanity of his wanted it to end. So sad, but also such an amazing story. The sequel is good. But more a traditional monster movie, not as much pathos that this one has, but Eric Stoltz delivers a great performance. Give it a look!
"How am I getting traumatized? It's not real!"
It's Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum turning in truly power house performances.
David Cronenberg's best movie.
Well written, well cast, and very well acted.
Not to mention the special effects were spectacular.
I wouldn't even call it a Horror movie.
It's more of a tragic/dramatic science fiction type of movie.
Goldblum was so good as the Fly.
Try Scanners, another Cronenberg masterpiece.
No Cami, don't do it! It's absolutely awful and literally disgusting! Save yourself!
I think she may be able to handle this one :) Not sure about The Fly II though lol
Watch The Blob (1988)
"The Fly" is a true tragedy, as Seth Brundle was a good guy who was destroyed by mere happenstance and one bad decision - a moment of drunken impatience. Veronica Quaife was a good woman whose life was destroyed by her chance meeting with Seth. Neither deserved their fates.
This is one of the most gruesome movies ever made. It sends chills down your spine. Jeff Goldblum is the perfect actor for this macabre hit. It has you from the opening scene. The special effects and cinematography is excellent. It is not for everyone, but I liked it. 4 out of 5 stars!
Cami! You were emotional because it was a very real tragedy. So was I when I saw it. By the way, did you know they had to totally reassemble the fly after the first transformation take. There was a piece of flesh that didn't fall off the fly's head, so they had to put it all together and reshoot. Amazing work by the artists who created the fly, huh! :)
David Cronenberg it's not your typical horror director. His movies are not jump scare kind of things... The horror in his movies gets under your skin It stick with you. His movies tend to live where psychological horror meets body horror He's also acted in a few things... He has this smart / cold demeanor that lends itself to horror. He's a villain in Clive Barker's Night Breed (1900)... The director's cut of that is worth seeking out. Chris Walas who did the practical effects on Gremlins did the effects here and I think they won an Academy Award.
This is actually a remake of The Fly (1958). Back in the day remakes had to bring something different (they didn't rely on cheap nostalgia to draw an audience). This is very different from the original film, while still following most of the same plot points. I'd love to see someone react to the original one day... but I know that's unlikely to ever happen. 😒
The short story which inspired both films is also very chilling and very good.
Hey cami, "the last boyscout" (1991) with Bruce Willis is much better than "looper" , directed by Tony Scott. One of the best Willis movies, react please. Thanks 💐
David Cronenberg specifically constructed this film as a metaphor for old age and terminal illness. If you strip out the sci-fi elements, it’s the story of two people who meet and fall in love, with one of them (metaphorically) getting old/suffering from a degenerative terminal illness. He gets worse and worse, and ends up so mentally and physically crippled that he asks his lover for assisted suicide.
That’s what the movie’s actually about. How we we deal with the relentless inevitability of old age and death, and the effect it has on our relationships and loved ones. The script is peppered with references to aging, and Brundle loses hair/nails/teeth and walks on canes, at one point.
The emotional subtext of the film is absolutely real, and absolutely devastating, which is why it remains so powerful and so sad. We all watch ourselves slowly fall apart in the bathroom mirror, just as Brundle does. The movie’s sci-fi candy-coating just takes it a few steps beyond reality to make the story easier to digest.
Cronenberg’s best film, Goldblum’s best film, and the best body horror film ever made, because the effects serve a thematic purpose, rather than being nasty just to be nasty. And it’s also better than THE THING (which I also love, mind you), because it’s more personal, more intimate, and hits closer to home.
I also felt it was a metaphor for the AIDS crisis
Critics at the time read it as an AIDS metaphor (as they also did with THE THING) but that was never the intent. Cronenberg has said it’s specifically about aging, and when you go in know that, all the pieces begin clicking together.
Brundle is reborn when he’s teleported, has his teenage years (weird hair, acne, junk food, sex drive), then begins to deteriorate, slowly being stripped of his mind and body until he just wants to die.
As do we all.
NOT Cronenbergs best film. His most accessible film perhaps, thanks to the love story and highly appealing lead actors. Top 5 tho
@@dahveed72 What would you call his best? With a director like Cronenberg, there are a lot of heavy hitters to choose from.
NOTHING is better than The Thing.
I recommend Jeff Goldblum again in Jurassic Park 👌.
The story DOES continue in the less popular "The Fly II". I hope you decide to do a reaction for it.
I've definitely noticed that you like to laugh alot while reacting to movies.... but, yeah.... Not much to laugh at in this one. It is truly a tragic story; no one deserved any of the horrific outcomes. However, I would definitely recommend the underrated sequel, THE FLY 2. ... the story continues. And it cost an arm and a leg to make. For comedy, watch SPLASH, it was TOM HANKS break out comedy role as a leading man. One of my favorites, in my top 10 comedies. But don't watch the Disney channel version because it is edited.
The 1958 original starred Al (aka David) Hedison, Patricia Owens and VINCENT PRICE. It had two sequels. In the original films, when two organisms go through together, they remain separate organisms but exchange some components. Different kind of body horror.
This remake had one sequel, starring Eric Stoltz and Daphne Zuniga. The ending left the door open for a part 3, but none was made.
I know they are quite different & difficult to really compare, but I like the 1958 original so much better. An excellent 1950s B-movie.
(tiny voice) "Help me! Help me!"
@@ArienRiley Yes. They put that in the soundtrack for one of the Trailers for the 1986 film, even though nothing like it is in the film itself.
Cami, please check out David Cronenberg's A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. And then do NAKED LUNCH.
here it is
Intense is definitely a word to describe this, thanks for watching!
You should check out The Fly 1958 which is what this version was based on.
Think of this as a tragedy because that's what this story is. I'll never forget seeing it in the theater with my older brother.
hmm you might look like her a bit in the mouth region at most. you do sound a bit like her though.
Finding it hard to see why you have the distinction between this channel and Criminal Content. Surely this is just as "genre" as some of the films reacted-to over there.
We are making it up as we go along
@@popcornroulettereactionsYou just described my approach to life.
@@popcornroulettereactionsIt's your show and it's not like I mind, but it seems to me that without a clear distinction between them (in format or audience) all you're doing is diluting your efforts and making it slightly harder for viewers to share your stuff via word of mouth, or find stuff for a re-watch. But that's just unsolicited advice from a random on the Internet.
hope you see the original too
Your reaction after the credits were over was my favorite part, when you had to take a break and come back before you could say you didn't like it. 😂
Goldblum: "I'm saying...I'll hurt you if you stay"
(Howard Shore goes into overdrive)
Me: TIME TO START SOBBING MY GUTS OUT
Time Code: 13:20 - Hi Cammy, I loved your commentary
but eventually Seth did kill the 2nd baboon, later in the film's grotesque deleted scene.
ruclips.net/video/QizX5msl-G0/видео.html
Cami kind of looks like Geena Davis 👍
I like that this film rendered you speechless. That's actually a normal response. "The Fly" really is a film that rests beyond words, and it points to something very primal about human nature.
Not a movie to watch while eating any food that's for sure! Although it's gory and disgusting, because of the great acting, you do feel sad at the end of it - even if it is a Brundle-fly...I know it won't be high on your list, but I would recommend watching the Fly 2 at some point - still as gory in parts, but it's a really good sequel and I guarantee you'll shed another tear at the end of that one...
There are no bland reactions to this , it is a truly intense film 😲 . the effects team behind this won the Oscar for best make-up effects that year .
Acclaimed horror director David Cronenberg really delivers with this one you should check out his other films like The Dead Zone and a History of Violence as well
Behind all the grotesque effects there is a tragic love story that drives it , this is performed very well by the two leads their chemistry works because they were a real life couple .
thanks for the reaction Cami
you were a trooper for sitting through this
Have an awesome weekend ! 🙏
"I'm talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh...a deep, penetrating dive into the plasma pool."
Only Jeff Goldblum could profoundly deliver such a line while getting dressed....😄
Hello dear girl , love your reactions.
You seem like a nice, sweet girl ,not like many girls around today.
I hope you like this movie , it has very gory scenes but in the end it's just a love story
that went wrong .
So , hope to see you again soon in another one.
So, ciao girl , bye !
Brundle Fly for president 🥸
It should be no surprise to you that the baby turns into a sequel.😅
Mel Brooks was a producer on this.
Chris Walas, who did the creature effects, previously had done Gremlins (1984).
And directed The Fly 2.
Fun Fact: the producer on this film was Mel Brooks
Red states would've forced her to have the larvae.
Cami, have you seen Eastern Promises?
After the film the two leads married.
Brave girl. Good for you.
Fear Jeff Goldblum
I hope you check out the original '50s version, as well. A lot of people are so spoiled by the Cronenberg remake that they look at the original and completely dismiss it. That's not to say the remake is bad. Far from it. The sequel to the remake, on the other hand, now THAT'S a bad film (and I mean so bad, it's bad).
Just your typical love story, with a little fly thrown in.
For more Goldbloom sci-fi fun, check out "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Donald Southerland and Leonard Nimoy.
In my head canon Seth survived this ending and recovered but knew he’d be imprisoned if people knew….
So he changed his name to Ian Malcolm and devoted his life to warning others of the dangers of scientific inventions regardless of ethics.
John Hammond: how can we stand in the light of discovery and not act?
Malcolm: what’s so great about discovery? It’s a violent penetrative act that scars would be explorers. What you call discovery, I call ‘the rape of the natural world’
Uh oh! This one is gonna freak out little Cami!
You know it lol
@@Letstunein is it just me, or is that thermos getting bigger every time?
@@matttorrence2900all the time! Lol
There have been some good interesting, Science lab films, subsequent to this-
DEEP BLUE SEA,RISE OF THE APES, and HOLLOW MAN, but THE FLY was the first quality original & David Cronenberg's best film, it was also his first studio film & it shows, you sense the higher budget, which a film of this scope needed, it's also one of the best remakes from the 80s, along with SCARFACE, probably if ALIEN hadnt been made & had the success that it did, this remake wouldnt have been made, or THE THING one.
10:19 I would have started with a plant or bug. not a complex living creature. not even a mouse.
33:55 it's a story about Hubris, And it's destructive effects.
My wife didn't speak to me for a few days after I asked her to watch it with me! LOL! She thought it was mean-spirited and plain disgusting. Anyhow, the 1958 version is very, very good, and it doesn't have any icky effects, thus much better for squeamish people.
32:52 ... And there is the brilliance of this film!
For me this is Jeff Goldblum's best performance- going from a meek, quirky but charismatic man, to this 180 of a mad scientist and finally a literal monster. And Geena Davis knocked it out of the park as well. You can feel every fibre of Ronnie's anguish and pain at the end.
Poor Seth; all he wanted was to create a new form of transportation because he suffered from motion sickness.
Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis were in a relationship at the time. Amazing performance when compared to all the other relationship movies like Jersey Girl and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
"he was actually an OK guy before all this."
You are too cute.
Next up... John Carpenter's The Thing.
This is a very difficult film to like. It is very intense. The director deals with themes of body transformation in many of his films. Both the original 1958 film and this version are intense romantic tragedies combined with horror, although I think this version has superior acting from Goldblum and Davis, compared to the original.
You look nothing like Jenna Davis. You're very pretty, of course, but no resemblance.
I don't think of this as horror but a tragedy. It's a tragic love story to me.
You don't seem to like movies that leave you feeling anything but happy. You want every movie to have a hero. Sometimes life is tragic. Sometimes people don't make it out whole and complete if they make it at all. Movies show all aspects of life and deal with all emotions. If a movie gets you in your feels it's usually a good movie. If you walk away feeling like you've been punched in the gut, then it did its job. Everything ain't going to make you happy and that's ok. Sometimes there's growth from pain.
This movie makes me cry every time. It’s a tragedy
I feel bad for the baboon not Goldblum
It was a sad story. Deep down you know Seth was not a bad person - he was just the victim of a very unfortunate circumstance and no one can help him. Ronnie had to stand back and watch the man she loved deteriorate before her very eyes. No matter how much he struggled, and how much she wanted to help him, she couldn't help him. It was heartbreaking.
Cronenburg is just one of those directors that sees things different! He also had a very creepy small part in the Clive Barker movie, Nightbreed!
obviously this was NEVER going to have a happy ending, not all stories need one.
THE FLY has ben described as a love story at heart, but again even love stories have good endings.
25:50
Fun fact: in the original version of the script (before Cronenberg came onboard to direct and pretty much completely rewrote it), the scientist absorbs the fly, and its cells dominate and multiply faster than his own, so the end result would have been that he would just turn into a giant fly with nothing human left.
“I don’t think the baby is going to turn into a fly.”
And then we watched The Fly 2…
Don't feel bad for crying, The Fly is sad on so many levels him becoming a monster, his romance with Veronica slowly falling apart and him never getting to see his invention become a positive part of transportation for human civilization and awesome reaction for an awesome horror movie.
Welcome to the world of David Cronenberg . A suggestion of another Cronenberg movie is Videodrome , another old one from the early eighties starring James Woods
Another good Jeff Goldblum movie, if you can find it, is "Mr. Frost."
This is a remake of the 1950s movie The Fly staring Vincent Price.
I like the theme music as well, very orchastral and dramatic. and good prop design the "pods"
Wait till you watch the movie Bite! It's a lot like The Fly but with a woman!
Creepy Ex boyfriend doesn't deserve the bad rap. He did show up with the shotty and saved her life when it mattered.
There is a sequel to this one. Directed by the guy who the creature effects for gremlins and i think this one.
Cami, you are far, far more beautiful than Geena Davis. 🥰🥰🤭😘 xxxx
Aw thank you for the sweet compliment!!
@@Letstunein You are very welcome, beautiful woman. Xx
I laughed when you said he's got 'the reflex', like reflexes are a disease!😂
Great remake movie, besides the original Fly movie. The ending still gets me 😢
You say you don’t know what to say, say something, that’s why we are here to hear what you have to say 😂
Do you still have to pay child support if your lady gives birth to a maggot?
there was an odd fella who swallowed a fly
i don't know why he swallowed the fly
i guess he'll die ...
This movie still makes me squeamish. The make up effects are amazing.
The fly 2 might be worth a watch, but not if you’re a dog lover 😢
So I guess you won't be watching The Fly 2.
Want to know what happened to the baby? Watch the sequel.
Jeff Goldblum is flighty in this movie.
I hope you react to The Fly 2. Its really good as well
24:24 eating at a 5 star restaurant is out of the question
Hi Cami!😊 Oh boy, you are watching The Fly!😱 This version is a bit more gruesome than the original 50s version. Chris Walas did the creature effects. He would also return for the sequel. She really had no one else she could tell except Stathis Borans about Seth. It was a sad story, so crying is natural.😢 "The Thing" does have a very strong fan base! Gruesome body horror probably is not your thing. Great reactions to this disturbing horror film, Cami!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
A really tragic love story.
My favorite love story.
The 1958 original is far better, you should check it out. Not a fan of this gory remake.
You do look like Geena a little!
BTW, the doctor delivering the...baby was David Cronenberg!
I like her chair.
I would like to recommend the 1982 movie 'The Entity' almost no reaction channels react to it and yet Martin Scorsese said it was the scariest movie he had seen at the time.
No. Geena Davis doesn’t compare to you
Aw you are so sweet! Thank you!!
@@Letstunein youre so welcome. You are my favorite reactor, but I havent seen You reacting too much recently. I was hoping you would start watching Star Trek the next generation, and then continue on with the movies
I like both the 1958 and 1986 versions for different reasons, but I won't elaborate on them. I suggest, Cami, that you give the 1958 version a chance; you'd probably wind up preferring it over the 1986 version. The original was structured more as a mystery, in the tradition of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." It is told in flashback: an apparent murder is committed at the start of the film and the accused must relate the story of how the victim met his death. It's a science fiction murder mystery and it is very elegant. You'd like it!
OMG !!! NOW REMEMBER CAMI, YOU ASKED FOR THIS !!!! 🪰
The Fly 1986, loved this movie. 🪰
