Yaspan's Movie Reviews - The Fly 2!

The Fly 2! I watched this movie today with Eric Stoltz as the genetically afflicted insect-man-boy and Daphne Zuniga (from Spaceballs) as his love interest. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad until the trite ending. However it did have its share of cool bad-horror-movie staples... the woman alone in the lab with the thing, lots of screaming, an evil corporation, and some obligatory gross fly vomit scenes. Best was the guy who gets his fingers ripped off and then shows it to the camera, screaming. Pretty cool though. There were about 10 screenwriters, but one of them was Frank Darabont, who later went on to do The Shawshank Redemption.

Of course it's going to be compared to the 1986 remake of The Fly starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, and in terms of the prior movie, this one isn't too good. Not too good at all. But if you are hankering to watch a movie with fly vomit, you really don't have much of a choice now do you?
