Considered fairly gruesome in its day, the original 1958
The Fly looks like
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood compared to this 1986 remake.
Jeff Goldblum and
Geena Davis star as
Seth Brundle, a self-involved research scientist, and
Veronica Quaife, a science-magazine reporter. Inviting
Veronica to his lab,
Seth prepares to demonstrate his "telepod," which can theoretically transfer matter through space. As they grow closer over the next few weeks, she inadvertently goads
Seth into experimenting with human beings rather than inanimate objects.
Seth himself enters the telepod, preparing to transmit himself through the ether -- but he doesn't know that he is sharing the telepod with a tiny housefly.
