THE FLY (1958) and THE FLY (1986)

"The film [1958] is both fun and frightening, and can also be viewed (however modest its intentions) as a commercialized techno-version of Franz Kafka's allegory Metamorphosis." TV Guide Magazine

"Believe it or not, The Fly happens to be one of the better, more restrained entries of the "shock" school. As produced and directed by the late Kurt Neumann, with an earnest little cast headed by Al Hedison, Patricia Owens and Vincent Price, this is a quiet, uncluttered and even unpretentious picture, building up almost unbearable tension by simple suggestion." Howard Thompson (The New York Times)

"This picture is disgusting." Mick LaSalle (San Fransico Chronicle)

"What makes The Fly such a stunning piece of obsessive filmmaking is the way Cronenberg deftly allows us to identify with his monstrous creation." Patrick Goldstein (Los Angeles Times)
