The Fly

more human than i am alone every time i think i can't be hand-over-mouth gutterally and intestinally affected by a movie's disgusting visuals, cronenberg proves me wrong. long live the new flesh, but also long live practical effects! what's most insane to me about this movie (and most of ol dave's filmography thus far) is how, yes obviously the body horror is second to none, but the characters feel so incredibly real. the chemistry between geena and jeff is so holy shit what the hell and everything is so deeply tragic and also i feel deeply uncomfortable in my own skin. there is something inside me that i want out. hate to be that guy but given recent political events, a portion of act 3 hits so entirely terrifyingly and AAAA!!!! god. body horror. Yes.
