Where to Watch The Fly
- 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.
