The film was
gruesomely entertaining with its twisted plot and dark horror. Its sound effects and music background were
remarkable engaging, making me cringe in anticipation and suspense. Even though
I had a hint of what was coming (I saw the 1986 remake of the The Fly back when
I was just a kid) surprisingly, I could not take my eyes off the screen.
Revolving
around a creepy madness of a scientist playing God, it shows how innate human’s curiosity and hunger for knowledge are. It reflects how even way back in the
1950s,we intensely crave for explanations and how we strongly desire for more
scientific discoveries. It could be considered as a dangerous morality play. It treads the
thin gray line between right and wrong, between advancing science and
technology and playing God. The film
ends with the investigator smashing the man-fly with a rock. Then, the
scientist’s brother-in-law told the investigator that the wife was no more of a murderer than
he was. This last scene was appallingly confusing and thought-provoking. Who’s
to say what is and isn't considered murder – killing a man-fly or a fly-man or
both?
