The original version ofThe Flystarred Vincent Price.
In addition to its commentary on diseases,The Flyis also a warning about scientific hubris gone too far.
In the film, Seth Brundle designs a teleportation system, similar toStar Trekstransporters.
Unlike those technological marvels, Brundles transporter was deeply flawed.
After several failed attempts, Brundle tried the system himself.
As he was entering the transporter pod, a fly flew in, and was transported with him.
The system failed to distinguish their DNA makeups, and merged them into one.
What followed was one mans horrifying metamorphosis into something more than human.
At the end ofThe Fly,fans learn that Brundles lover, Veronica, was pregnant with his child.
The film continues to find new generations of fans, but its sequel does not enjoy such a reputation.
WhenOutbreakopens, Martin is now trying to cure Bartok, to no avail.
Martin also lives in fear of transforming back into a monster, which puts distance between himself and Beth.
Bartoks scheming causes trouble all around: he turns Martin into a monster.
The Flyfilm franchise makes good use of the mad scientist trope as well.
InOutbreak, Martin now seeks to cure himself of his curse permanently.
ByOutbreaksend, they have completely mutated, shedding their humanity as they become something else.
Finally,The Fly: Outbreakdoes not forget the emotional core that made the first two films so good.
Finally,The Fly: Outbreakdoes not forget the emotional core that made the first two films so good.
Part of the horror ofThe Flywas watching nice guy Seth slowly lose control, becoming a mindless killing machine.
Good and innocent people meet horrifying ends, and there is no sense of victory atOutbreaksending.
Should Jusus movie never make screens,The Fly: Outbreakis perfect for fans of the franchise.
