  The Fly 1986

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  enjoyed this a ton. it would be so easy for a movie like this to get lost in the camp or tropes or devote itself solely to the effects but there’s a surprising amount of depth here. I think this script is actually really tight- it shines in the early stages of his transformation.

Some ideas kind of mess with the rest of the movie but nothing egregious. But honestly I can forgive the writing for the most part because it had no right to be this badass lmao. goes pretty hard. I don’t love the art style but they pulled off…
