Art Review: The Fly (1958)

Its hard for movies to age, this is ecspecially true for horror movies. What was once horrifying back in yester-year, can become cheesy and comedic now. Fortunately, this is not the case. The Fly is a classic retelling of the famous "scientist with a transporter accidentally switches arm and head with a common house fly". It's all from the point view from the scientist's wife as she is discussing the tale to her husbands friend (played by good old Vincent Price) as she explains what happened. Theres a good deal of suspence in the film too, and the growing suspense of wondering what the scientist's actions will be and how deformed he has become keeps almost anyone glued to the screen.
