The Fly - Movie Review

I recently saw a movie I hadn't seen in years...much to my amazement, it still held up. Here's my review of the 1986 "The Fly"!

You should review older movies more often!!!

[@killercaos123]

especially holiday movies. You know family is gonna be involved, so if you can come up with a good movie people will wanna watch, everyone will be a bit more happier.

[@DarkVeracity]

yeah i think he should too

[@eddiedutra3359]

I would love to see him review more foreign movies. Train to Busan was FANTASTIC!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Mason Young Geoff Goldbloom was pretty fly in this movie.... and there was a lot of buzz about this movie at the time of its release....lol.... come on, have some pun with me.

[@Xanthosis012]

it was meh..not as good as other Asian movie...Try 'The Flu'

[@cryogeneric]

The Fly is a very "draining" movie. You'll be exhausted after watching it and not need to watch again for years. That's not to say it's bad. Just the opposite--it's incredible. It's because it's so good and you're so involved in the story and characters that it has such an impact on you. It does NOT have a happy ending. It's similar to Requiem for a Dream how you feel after watching it. You watch someones life fall apart in a very graphic manner.

[@leohaddad9225]

Yeah, I liked it but it’s not a movie I would watch often

[@jamestkirkcameron9189]

Well said. I just rewatched it after many years and it's definitely draining. The third act truly wrecked me. So much emotional depth in the characters, and everybody involved loses in the end. Combine all that with the body horror and it's a wrap. Very good acting my Geena Davis and Goldblum to suck you into their story. Definitely an experience I wouldn't want to go through again anytime soon.

[@X-EvilAsh]

I've seen The Fly, 3 times 😅

[@owengibby]

Nah it’s not draining it’s great sequencing in scenes

[@viktorlogibernharsson2040]

I get pumped watching this movie! When his head splits open, that's like cocaine right there! All the juices and goops, Fuck yeah this movie rocks and makes me wanna do jumping jacks!!!

[@LuxBellator92]

The Fly still holds up today as a deeply unsettling monster movie. It's brilliant.

[@Advent3546]

You need to review older movies Jeremy.

[@Advent3546]

***** Oh you know what I mean.

[@CrownJules84]

The Thing!

[@that1dude733]

I would like to see him review (The good the bad and the ugly "1966")

[@cheflemin3986]

I guess you could say he looked pretty fly by the end of the movie

[@castertroy6347]

A little too fly for a white guy

Came here for this comment.

I really dislike the fact that we can't like a person's comment anymore cause this sir deserves a like

[@kingofwakanda6899]

Was not expecting Jeremy to do a review on an older movie. I'm glad that he did though.

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

He's done a few on this channel, but they're years old.

Yeah he reviewed Terminator 2:Judgement Day

[@jzsson2283]

District 9 is the best 'The Fly' modern remake.

[@Quijoteb]

T-Flex great reference bunt the fly is deeeep into drama.

[@Alex_Logan22]

He's not really a villain/monster though. Actually, he was more antagonistic in the beginning before he got infected.

[@eddiedutra3359]

i thought the Tyler Perry produced "Precious" was a good remake.

[@LANLAMPAN]

too bad it sucked then.

[@1r0zz]

the fly is a psycological horror, District 9 was a anvilicious political movie

[@HarryThomasPictures]

The only thing that would scare a human sized Fly would be a human sized Spider lol. Great review.

[@Starfire1408]

A kinda B-rated horror movie about that, try Eight Legged Freaks.

Please do more classic movie reviews! so much shit is released these days, it's nice to go back to a better era in movies :)

[@ericafg3746]

[@cinemacola6398]

Couldn't agree more!

[@martinh.5193]

Do you 'member Star Wars?

[@ytsejam58]

Half the movies coming out now are owned by disney... I feel movie culture has reached a stand-still

[@sebgomez2688]

Scott Karrasch 50 movies are coming out in the next 2 months and only 3 of those are Disney movies, so where are the other 22 movies that are owned by Disney that you speak of?

[@RetroSanctuary]

The movie functions as an analogy of sorts to disease in general as well I think. The way that a brain tumour or dementia for example can just take hold of someone you love and very gradually, and irrevocably change them into a shadow of their former selves, while you have to wait for the inevitable.

[@Duxaization]

One of the saddest ending I've ever seen in this film.

[@buranmat]

Check out the Dancer in the dark movie by Lars von Trier

[@there4you19]

Kind of like An American Werewolf in London.

I'm Never Watching This Movie While Eating Dinner AGAIN 😣

[@Connief1990]

I saw The Fly when I around 10... I was pretty horrified.

[@chrisv3338]

Me too. I actually am extremely phobic of flies now because of it. It was too real for me. One day I'll watch it again. One day...

[@cedrickoh3162]

I watched it when i was 9. I felt like puking at some scenes but loved it

[@EthanS1481]

Me too. It killed me. I couldnt sleep at night, but wanted to watch it again....Incredible..

[@Igorcastrochucre]

I also watched The Fly, but I wasn't as terrified by it as when I saw the Mummy when an insect crawled under the skin of a man, that freaked me out.

[@Connief1990]

+Igorcastrochucre I was horrified by The Mummy Returns cause the The Rock looked so bad! It was like Smackdown Just Bring It on ps2😂😂

[@johanbotha7462]

practical effects are 10000 times better than any cgi will ever be in my opinion

[@ianfleischer3532]

Johan Botha compare any of the late 70s and 80s practical effects, it seems like done today.

[@Phantom096]

I totally agree they were masters of their craft. They did not need CGI.

[@robertdelgadocapetillo8684]

Dude definitely.

[@robertmarginean164]

Totally agree, and that's because practical effects, whrn they're done well, always stand the test of time and are way more emersive. With digital, technology always evolves, so moat of what looked great in the 2000s now looks kinda shaky and even the stuff that holds up isn't as captivating or impressive as practical, because you know it's a visual effect

[@armandomederosjr.1247]

I think is very cool that you did a review of a old school movie. you should review American Werewolf in London.

[@jpperron1835]

I DIDNT MEAN TO CALL YOU MEATLOAF, JACK!!!

[@ttv0]

He did this a lot before

[@Outpost31Research]

armando mederos jr That is an...awesometacular idea.

[@SumDumGy]

Definitely. An American Werewolf in London was played last week at one of my local theaters as a double feature with King Kong (1933). Great nostalgia experience! However, there is much more comedic elements to that movie than I remembered.

[@djhutchison]

"Never remake _The Fly_ or _The Thing_." They're both remakes.

Not really. More like re adaptations.

[@RayAtchley]

The fly is a remake the thing is a re adaption

[@leohaddad9225]

Also Scarface is a remake and they are remaking it lol

[@corneliusquincydavenportic1913]

@@RayAtchley the original fly movie itself was an adaptation of the fly short story. Technically, both fly movies are adaptations. It’s just the Jeff goldbloom fly is a less faithful adaptation.

Huh, this is not something I expected to see today.

[@ShellDogFTW]

Jeremy you should review *Ghost Rider (2007)* and the *Blade trilogy* in the spirit of Halloween and for Dr Strange which is coming out in a few weeks.

[@cbolles3388]

Ghost rider is truly one of the scariest movies ever made

[@tritonewt3344]

Yeah it gives me nightmare, cause of how disappointing it was. At least Blade had 2 good films before it died.

[@metallicnole4514]

I actually enjoyed the 2007 ghost rider movie when it came out. I haven't seen it in a while so I dunno how well it stands up today.

[@toniquix]

Those movies aren't classics like this one.

[@LeighMet]

You know the Fly 1986 is a remake itself.

[@deg1studios]

more lika an adaptation. the older one from the 50s was a short film and they are not at all similar movies. also, it doesn't really matter, the 1986 one is the definitive version anyway.

[@Jamesleeperkins]

deg1studios the 1954 Fly is not a short film

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

I'm trying to sleep Jeremy, thank you for keeping me awake for five extra minutes. I like your videos so I won't rek you this time.

[@Hneszm]

Jeremy, you should do a list of your top 10 best movies of all time!

[@willemverheij3412]

Nice to see you review a classic again, please do that more often! Sadly many people these days have forgotten about cinematic gems like the fly, to kill a mockingbird, barry lyndon, 2001: a space odyssey, 12 angry men, duck soup, city lights, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, rope, lifeboat, vertigo, the last of the mohicans, invasion of the body snatchers, etc.

[@isillor529]

most of these are great!!! and then there's space odyssey.....

[@zinhoferraz13]

jim gordon yeah 2001 it's not great, its a master piece

[@isillor529]

Zinh0 maybe at 2x speed its a masterpiece....

[@killboggins]

Yeah, and they should add more explosions, swearing, nude scenes, obnoxiously loud comedy and butt rock music. THEN it'll be a masterpiece right?

[@rozza1903]

People have not forgotten about half of the movies on this list

So, um, No Stranger Things comments?

[@deusredeemer]

THE SOUNDTRACK IS TOP NOTCH STUFF ;)

[@EthanS1481]

One of the best soundtracks!

[@RyansChannel0203]

The soundtrack is amazing.

[@maxdresser2526]

Ryan R. That's Howard Shore on a Tuesday. Keep in mind that he made the scores of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Silence of the Lambs, among many others.

[@doughbafett]

Yeah, Shore did a great job. I like how the first act is almost scored like a romantic comedy. Then after the first Brundle teleportation, it shifts toward a darker, creepier tone.

[@RubenDR281]

Howard Shore presents an spectacular score for this one. One of my favourites soundtracks of all time!

[@AubreyTheKing]

The Fly is one of the BEST remakes next to John Carpenter's The Thing!

[@MrDapperton]

The Fly is the perfect monster movie, it's basically the story of Frankensteins monster done the best it's ever been done.

[@ThePopcornFairy]

YESSSSS. Thank you, Jeremy! This is absolutely my favorite horror movie, hands down. The practical effects are phenomenal, the psychology is gripping and disturbing, and indeed the descent of Seth's character is terrifying yet heartbreaking. Surprised you didn't talk about Veronica's dream sequence, though; no spoilers here, but that's the only scene that I have to look away from because it freaks me out so much. ono Overall, though, The Fly is most definitely one of the greatest, and Brundlefly will forever be the best movie monster. Well gee, now I have no excuse not to bust it out again for Halloween!

[@BRi180000]

you should do more of these throwback movies. Its nice to look back on them again.

[@T2266]

But "The Thing" and "The Fly" of the 80s are also remakes themselves...

[@gunsmithbasic]

they are both good lessons for remakes. The originals are great, but the new ones are totally unique and imo better.

+T2266 Yes. And I'm genuinely curious if he knows that.

[@T2266]

Michael Hayden Me too, that's why I mentioned it.

[@tylerjacobson8012]

T2266 by title only. They are completely different films from the original.

[@T2266]

Tyler Jacobson Completely different? Nope. They are very different yea. But both of the 80s adaptations still kept the basic premise of the originals.

[@Nguyen1014]

The Fly (1986) and The Thing (1982) are 2 of the best remakes ever

[@Joseph66678]

I love The Fly. One of my favorite movies.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

Absolutely love this movie, a favourite of mine and even though it's emotionally draining and sad, I've watched the fly many times and I always get emotionally involved in the love story and brundle's transformation is so well done, so many layers to it and the allegories it has a horror masterpiece in my opinion!

[@King_Arthur_]

Jeremy maybe you should make this a "thing". Make nostalgic reviews. That would be great!

[@spapbp]

King Arthur nostalgic critic is a thing on KZbin

[@chrismhp]

This is one of the few shining examples of a remake that not only does it right, but does it better than the original ever could. This is probably the single greatest character tragedy wrapped in a horror-transformation film ever put on screen. The direction, acting, music, visual style, atmosphere, and practical effects coalesce to make a memorable classic. It's the kind of deep-seated fear of grotesque inevitability, and the tragedy of that, which sticks with you long after the film is over. Masterful; without a dbout one of Cronenberg's masterpieces.

[@Brandonlyfxxx]

Dude it would be sick if you did more old school movies/classics like this!

[@cnash9744]

Like if Jeremy should do more reviews of old movies!

To this day, he remembers that I was terrified and I had nightmares after watching this, and I'm like "yeah, I was 8 years old, what did you expect?!?". I remember covering my face in fear in that dark cinema by the end. ...and it was exhilarating! Best damn horror movie, I've watched it several times since back in the day and still gives me the creeps! The performance, the effects, the soundtrack, the direction...

[@obiwancc]

I watched The Fly when I was like 13, and that scene when Veronica was getting the abortion and Seth crashed through the window and stopped it scared the shit out of me. There were other scenes that were terrifying, but something about that abortion scene scared me more than anything else in that movie.

[@javierrios9934]

that movie still freaks me out...the fly stands on its own

[@cheemo48]

So awesome to see you did this! I'm always happy when you do classic horror flicks.

[@CrystalHickerson]

OMG Jeremy you're doing throwbacks!! I'm Busting Over Here - BUSTING!! Ok. I loved The Fly. I even loved the original Fly movie done in 1958 with Vincent Price...Vincent - amazing. But Jeff Goldblum is great in this movie. I loved the way they made him nerdy yet HOT. Which was Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park but in reverse - HOT yet nerdy. The Fly is almost like a creepy Limitless where the character goes from pathetic to incredibly great, but The Fly goes beyond that and takes it into totally gross!! One of my favorite scenes is when he is doing the documentary of how a fly eats. If they had of thought about a sequel, they could have done where scientists were trying to perfect his mistake to create the perfect soldier or something because before he morphed into an actual fly man he was strong, fast, agile, and ready to kill anything at anytime. But I'm glad you did this. Please do more classic reviews! In essence I loved what I've seen here and I'd love to see more! :)

[@Wis_Dom]

Yes people. The Fly, The Thing and Scarface are all 80's remakes. But noticed how great they were. Most remakes back then were not done for money but a guarantee that you could make a better or equally impressive movie. They were a lot fewer remakes back then and most were great!

[@anepicjourney]

I guess the only way of having more awesometaculars this year is to review old movies lol

[@1027corbie]

I saw this movie for the first time a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Jeff goldblum is an amazing actor.

[@22Sangre]

1986 Fly is already a remake of "The Fly" of 1958

[@KittyBoom360]

And, The Thing (1982) is already a remake of The Thing (1951)

[@eventyraren]

The Thing from Another World (1959) to be exact

[@KittyBoom360]

eventyraren from wiki: "Contemporary reviews and commentary generally referred to the film as simply The Thing. The longer title only resurfaced later to distinguish the earlier film from another adaptation of the Campbell story, The Thing (1982 film)."

[@auritone]

Yup, but Carpenter's version is closer to the source material (a short story called Who Goes There) than the '58 version and is a very different movie.

[@knightu2b]

"The Fly" of 1958 is a remake of "The Fly" 1903

[@BlackOcelot0095]

51 dislikes? 51 Twilight fans! 😯

[@CmdrSloanne]

You know the (1986) The Fly is a perfect remake of the Vincent Price (1958) original & John Carpenter's The Thing is also a well done remake of the (1951) The Thing from Another World. another good review as always Jeremy have a great week. I think they should do remakes every 30 years after the original by a good director that loves the original and would work it's hardest not to ruin what the original created but to top it. P.S next do a review of the (1973) Soylent Green with Charlton Heston.

[@swamidan277]

[@PatrickHogue]

Been missing one of these classic reviews, definitely glad it's for a movie I love.

[@nugking2021]

Is this the episode of Simpsons where Bart and the fly switch bodies?

[@Igorcastrochucre]

Actually no, this movie is a re-imagining of the original The Fly (1958), in that one the man and the fly instantly switch heads (like in the Simpsons) and they must recover the fly to switch them back, in this one they don't know about the transformation as it slowly happens and they only take notice halfway, honestly this is the superior version in script, effects and tone, but the 1958 one has the better characters and cinematography.

nice review. 5/7

[@csseyhubbard123]

I remember watching this movie with my mom and the older 1958 version and the second one....eghh. But I love this movie and I didn't actually think anybody else liked it cause nobody ever talks about it. Glad to know someone appreciates it!

I'd love to see your review of The Fly 2. I saw that one first, not knowing anything about the first one, and I've always had great memories of it.

[@col-gz5tk]

this movie gave me nightmares

[@calhooey3062]

Love these retro-reviews. Keep 'em coming please.

[@jackdraper8558]

The fly is fantastic, but the thing is better. No context.

[@KittyBoom360]

did you know both were remakes of the 50's versions?

[@isaakix12]

Jack Draper can you give a little context?

[@jackdraper8558]

Mirror's Light yes, crazy right?! You know if they hold up?

[@jackdraper8558]

Isaakix455 as to why the thing is better than the fly? It subjective. But I like the story better and the effects hold up more. I think that Kurt Russell gave a better performance rather than Jeff goldblum.

[@Afrocypher9590]

Nothing beats the 2 though because if Hollywood even so much as try to remake them they will fuck it up with all the bullshit CGI enhanced effect that don't even look practically real.

I just saw it recently *ahem* more like last night when it was aired on the sci-fi channel and I have to say, it's still an incredibly GROSS and freaky movie. Saw the movie "The Thing" and "Aliens" before that and although "The Thing" seemed more gory, there was something much more terrifying about "The Fly" because of the hero slowly deteriorating until the end. It's like nothing I've seen before in other movies. Like ok the character, Seth Brundle, is not like some typical handsome guy (some might say that about Jeff Goldblum though haha sorry not for me) but a dorky but charming one yet him turning monstrous till the end is what makes this purely a classic horror. Great review!! 👍

[@antimatta8714]

Have you seen the shitty sequel with lance out of pulp fiction playing the fly's son.

[@isaacargesmith8217]

Oh god there's a sequel?

[@razielduckett3168]

yep it's shitty to the point alot of people don't even know it exists

[@angeltread]

its not that shitty. its B for sure but it had some interesting ideas and was a proper and mostly competent sequel. and the dog scene is heartchurning.

[@razielduckett3168]

nah nah I'm talking from the general public opinion.... everybody who watched it in general .... I thought it was okay but every time I said people look at me like I'm from another world

[@rissarae3]

Matthew Flanagan I saw that movie when I was 12 and I still don't get wtf the plot was about? the whole time I was confused on how it relates to the first movie

[@SCharlesDennicon]

I know that one of your trademarks are the nicely short length of your reviews, Jahns, but The Fly deserved better than five minutes. I concurr, it is horror perfection. It is, because it combines the two major elements that have to be combined : a) spectacular practical visual effects, and b) psychological terror... because the movie plays with one of human's deepest fears : losing control of our bodies, of ourselves. Brundle turning into a fly isn't very far from dying of a horrific cancer that turns our body into a mortal enemy. You can't do scarier than that. And since the directing, photography, acting and dialogues are masterful, well... there you have. A timeless masterpiece. My favorite horror movie along with The Shining and Hereditary. So I disagree when you suggest your viewers to choose it as their next Halloween movies : it's too good for that ! ^^
