Blood-curdling giant fly-creature runs amuck!
-
Return of the Fly was the polar opposite of the film that had sired it: cheap, careless and crass. From its Universal-inspired opening of a doomy visit to a cobweb-encrusted ‘mad lab’ in the middle of a thunderstorm to its monster-rally finale, it is pure drive-in drivel.
