The Fly (1958) • Discape

The monster created by atoms gone wild!

The film’s climactic reveal of André’s transmogrified appearance – the hirsute fly face, the pulsating proboscis, the white lab coat from which a shaggy fly’s claw protrudes – achieves a rare blend of the ludicrous and the genuinely horrific.

Jonathan Rigby, American Gothic: Six Decades of Classic Horror Cinema (Signum Books, 2017)
The revelation, when it comes, is nonetheless one of the screen’s greatest moments of shock … an unmasking scene to rank alongside those of The Phantom of the Opera and Mystery of the Wax Museum.

Denis Meikle, Vincent Price: The Art of Fear (Reynolds & Hearn, 2003)
