For a film about a man's close encounter with a fly, this sure worms its way into the mind.
It's gory, horrifying, and absurd in all the right ways, but surprisingly low-key. Geena Davis does a tremendous job at grounding the action, keeping it locked to a very human bandwidth while Jeff Glodblum, magnificent here, gets to play broad physical and emotional changes.
It's body horror of a top calibre and Cronenberg's visceral sensibilities, dribbling pain and heartbreak all over the screen, force it to squirm into the pores.
