What a behemoth of a film to end October with. Especially on Halloween night. This, zits and zombies, is how a re-make is done. You take the idea from the original, you twist it into something a little bit different, and amp everything up to eleven. Seth Brundle has been conducting experiments on teleportation. He's so close, he can almost taste it. Seth makes a believer out of Veronica after a science collaboration party when she comes with him to his lab to get her story for The Particle. Trash mag. He teleports her stocking with no glitches, but he needs more. He wants to be able to teleport living organisms-human beings. Animals. They have sex, eat breakfast, and conduct an experiment on a baboon. It gets turned inside out. But Brundle's got it. He knows what to do. After his success, he tries to teleport himself-and a fly gets in the way. If you don't know what happens after that, you really, really need to watch The Fly. It's a roller coaster that you won't be able to get off of until it's over. And it's such a messed up and sad ending that you'll probably want to watch the sequel right afterwards. It's pretty gross that flies puke on their food before they eat it. That will stick with you for awhile.
