The Fly (1958) • Discape

The monster created by atoms gone wild!

A scientist experimenting with matter transportation accidentally merges his body with that of a housefly, resulting in a horrifying transformation. As his wife desperately tries to uncover the truth behind his strange behavior, the consequences of tampering with nature become tragically clear. This chilling blend of science fiction and horror explores themes of identity, loss, and the dangers of unchecked ambition.

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)
