Technically this film is body horror, but I though I'd add it to science fiction, mostly because the plot highly refers to a mad scientist who conducts and experiment gone wrong. From one of my top favorite directors, David Cronenberg, comes The Fly, a remake of the original movie from the 1950s, which I have not seen yet. His known knack for horror weirdness blended with a science fiction twist always gets me going. The movie also features on of my favorite actors, Jeff Goldblum, who plays the main character. He absolutely delivers as a mad scientist who transforms into a fly, which by the way gets absolutely gruesome to watch towards the end when his nails begin to fall off. I have a huge nail phobia so this part gets me every time. UGH. I only gave it a 4/5 stars because I typically don't care for Geena Davis as a actor and it does take a while to get going. But, nonetheless, this film is an absolute watch from the 80s!
