On the flip-side, while the original was a mystery and a bit more subtle. David Cronenberg's version takes a new view on the story, turning it into a tragedy and more of a monster flick, which is a good take on the story, rather than just doing a shot by shot remake or just recycling the same story. There are some simularities, the same setup of "scientist mutates with fly" is still there. But instead of a sudden and dramatic change right away, were given a slower but still horrific metamorphasis as we see the main character Seth Brundle ( played by Jeff Goldblum) slowly loses his humanity and changes into something new.
The Fly 4/5
