A nightmare. The "help me, help meeeee" scene revolted and scared me so much as a young child that it was years before I could see this movie again. Even now I cringe when I witness that nightmarish scene. As good as Cronenberg's movie is and it is very good , there is nothing that surpasses the delirious horror of the man-fly in the spider's grasp.
Elsewhere, the movie is rather subdued. In some spots, almost too much so. Although the first revelation of The Fly's appearance is another classic spot Like all great monsters, the Fly has a very sympathetic edge to it. We are revolted by the horror of this monster but we feel overwhelming pity for him as well. Usually he adds a special touch to a film, but really, any number of actors could have played his part here.

These unfortunate creatures are locked in stables on the estate and taken care of by Wan, who feels a strong connection to Judith. After Patricia enters the scene, Wan takes every opportunity to get rid of her including driving her mad and letting Judith out of her cage to attack her. Eventually, a nosy police inspector Jeremy Wilkins enters the mix and Henri decides to eliminate all evidence by transporting the mutants to London.
At this point, the young scientist realizes that they the Delambres are the real monsters and refuses to have anything more to do with the experiments. This leads to the very effective climax in which Henri and Martin attempt to make their escape.
The opening is pure film noir as Patricia runs through the forest in slow motion over the opening credits with the London Symphony Orchestra led by Bert Shefter who did the music for the previous films playing a piano concerto in the background.
This is an effective way of introducing the concert pianist motif which symbolizes Patricia who is a concert pianist. The stark black and white photography by Basil Emmott is the total opposite of the somewhat gaudy DeLuxe color of the first film and helps to emphasize the eerie mood.
Carole Gray as Patricia is very beautiful and very effective. The audience journeys with her through her descent from the madhouse of Madame Fournier to her even worse fate in the house of Delambre. The real news here is that it can finally be seen in a widescreen 2. Finally, the audience can see lots of picture information that was lost on full screen television broadcasts.
The audio is great and is in English stereo and mono as well as Spanish mono. The subtitles are available in English, Spanish, and French. Also included is a short entitled "Fly Trap: Catching a Classic," as well as loads of stills from each film and trailers for each as well as pressbook photos, poster art and trailers for other Fox horror films.
Fox has really pulled out all the stops with this great boxed set which should be on the shelves of every genre fan. Keep up the great work Fox!!! Joe Cascio.
