Scientist Seth Brundle invents a teleportation device that almost works. After a number of unsuccessful trials, he decides to experiment on himself - but he's unaware that a fly is in the teleporter pod with him and when he comes out, he begins a bizarre and horrifying transformation as his DNA begins to combine with that of the fly...

Cronenberg's most commercial successful film found the Canadian auteur commendably refusing to give up his old ways and crafting the most challenging and offbeat horror hit for many years. The crowd-pleasing gore effects are suitably gross (the Brundle Museum of Natural History in the bathroom cabinet is particularly nasty), but as ever Cronenberg pursues esoteric philosophical questions that give the film its edge. With a superb performance from Jeff Goldblum as the tragic "Brundlefly", a powerful script and another fine score from Howard Shore, The Fly was a triumph that bought Cronenberg some long-overdue mainstream critical adulation.
