The bonfire is calling YOU.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
When scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but the fly's cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle's girlfriend (Geena Davis) is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.

Certified Fresh – Rotten Tomatoes
“The Fly is a mass-market, horror film masterpiece that is also a work of art.” – Globe and Mail
“What makes The Fly such a stunning piece of obsessive film making is the way Cronenberg deftly allows us to identify with his monstrous creation.” – Los Angeles Times
“Wildly imaginative, gut-wrenchingly scarifying and profoundly primal (not to mention funny), David Cronenberg's The Fly is a movie that whacks you in the solar plexus and leaves you gasping.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
“As slimy and as grotesque as some of its special effects become, The Fly is a far superior horror film to the top-grossing film in America of late…” – Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
