The Fly ¹⁹⁸⁶

An experiment involving matter displacement takes a nightmarish turn when a fly takes a seat inside the equipment. Director David Cronenberg transforms a wacky B-movie plot into a heartbreaking portrait of physical deformation. *The Fly* is not only an unprecedented feat of heart-wrenching body horror but also a masterful love tragedy that sucks us into the nightmare of a brilliant scientist (Jeff Guldblum) who genetically fuses with a fly during an experiment and gradually decomposes. Geena Davis plays the journalist who falls in love with the languishing scientist.
