Where to Watch The Fly
- Nicholas Jensen de MattosJune 8, 2026Disturbing, gross, and tragic. But also interesting.
- Paul BufanoOctober 28, 2025A touching tale of a man connecting with nature.
- xxRedCobraxxApril 30, 2025An absolute belter of a movie. Sad, but disgustingly vile.
- brycowardOctober 3, 2025A small movie with a fun premise and capable small cast. Goldblum is entertaining and excellent in the main role, and tying the overall story to a simple tale of love works great. The makeup is top tier, and really makes the movie. Because of the way the transformation occurs, there's some moral ground left unexplored.
- LuciferMorningstar00June 29, 2025I enjoyed this movie. I usually don't like monster films, but this one had a scientific and suspense type of vibe. The plot kept me watching.
- sierragioFebruary 22, 2025Classic sci-fi and very depressing
