The Fly
Industrialist François Delambre is called late at night by his sister-in-law, Helene, who tells him that she has just killed her husband. Reluctant at first, she eventually explains to the police that he invented a matter transportation apparatus and, while experimenting on himself, a fly entered the chamber.
The Fly (1958) centers on a grotesque metamorphosis and the dread it provokes; horror and body-horror are essential to the film’s identity, making it a science fiction horror where removing horror would significantly undermine the core experience, despite its sci-fi framing and romantic subplots.
Best for viewers looking for a scary horror movie.
