The Fly – body horror, Cronenberg style

The Fly is true blue SciFi with teleportation machines, socially inept brilliant scientists, and talk of DNA fusion, made exciting and hair-raising by the excellent turn by Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Seth Brundle. Brundle is trying to develop a teleportation machine that works well on inanimate objects but fails to work on living things. He meets a reporter, Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), falls for her and convinces her to see him at work.

Director David Cronenberg’s first serious feature film has James Woods playing Max Renn, a sleazy small time TV channel owner, and Deborah Harry as the SM addicted woman he is attracted to. Renn is constantly looking for questionable content beyond the usual soft-core porn that will take his channel to a new viewership.
