Movie Synopsis

The Fly stands as a landmark in the realm of science fiction horror, thanks to David Cronenberg's masterful direction, a stellar cast led by Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, and groundbreaking makeup effects by Chris Walas and Stephan Dupuis. 

Loosely based on George Langelaan's short story, The Fly explores themes of transformation, identity, and the consequences of scientific experimentation gone awry. Jeff Goldblum delivers a riveting performance as the eccentric scientist Seth Brundle, whose gradual metamorphosis into a fly-human hybrid is both horrifying and tragic.

Geena Davis shines as Veronica Quaife, a journalist who becomes entangled in Brundle's experiment and subsequent descent into madness. Their on-screen chemistry adds depth to the film's emotional core, making the audience empathize with their plight.

Cronenberg's direction keeps the tension high throughout the film, balancing moments of visceral horror with moments of genuine pathos. The makeup effects by Walas and Dupuis are nothing short of groundbreaking, earning them a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Makeup. The gradual deterioration of Brundle's body into a monstrous insect creature is both grotesque and mesmerizing, showcasing the power of practical effects in horror cinema.

The Fly was not only a critical success but also a commercial one, grossing over $60 million at the box office. Its impact on popular culture is undeniable, with its iconic tagline, "Be afraid. Be very afraid.," becoming synonymous with fear itself.

What do your condition ratings mean?

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
