You can’t talk about 1986 horror cinema without mentioning David Cronenberg’s gooey masterpiece, THE FLY, featuring Geena Davis vacillating between romance and a can of Mortein when lover Jeff Goldblum’s teleportation experiment goes grotesquely wrong.

When brilliant scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) attempts to make teleportation a reality, a tiny accident fuses his DNA with a common house fly. As his body grotesquely mutates, his mind begins to unravel, leaving love-struck journalist Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) torn between saving him and saving herself. Netting an Academy Award for Best Make-Up, Cronenberg’s visceral metaphor on disease would become his biggest mainstream triumph — the movie that fused his body‑horror obsession with commercial success, shocking audiences and critics alike in one unforgettable, unhinged, bug‑infested ride.
