PT50: [Slasher Summer] The Fly (1986)

from Pop That! · host Pop That! Podcast

For our third Slasher Summer episode this season, Viddy Well Film Blog's Aaron Haughton returns to break down our next "Remake That Rocks": David Cronenberg's mental- and physical-disintegration masterpiece The Fly. Cronenberg's mid-80s remake of 1958's "The Fly" is part gothic horror romance, part ethical sci-fi allegory, and features the body horror that is a trademark of the maestro director. Outdoing the original film by leaps and bounds, Cronenberg dares us to care about the main characters before showing us how vanity to be superhuman turns deadly - and stomach churning. It's time to Pop That on 1986's The Fly.
