David Cronenberg does a great job in remaking the old "The Fly" movie. The story is different from the original but is unique and different. It is tagged among other things as a horror movie, however personally thought it was a lot more about romance and love than horror. That being said it has it's moments of horror with some strong scenes with a lot of gore. They did an excellent job with the special effects and the human/fly transformation is fantastic. It is a typical 80's movie and this shows well in the dialog and acting. Both main actors do great performances. Jeff Goldblum is terrifying as he changes and Geena Davis is the love interest.
I personally liked the plot change from the original. It combines romance and horror in a unique way. Mixing in enough sci-fi for all kinds of fans to be happy. The end is the best part of the whole movie and will shock you yet leave you feeling content. My personal opinion rates this movie 8/10
