Philippe Delambre (Brett Halsey) has been wrestling with his family legacy for years, knowing that his father perished as a result of his experiments in teleportation. Though warned by his uncle Francois (Vincent Price), Philippe insists on refurbishing his father's laboratory and continuing his investigations. The idea would be bad enough on its own, but Philippe hires an assistant who calls himself Alan Hinds (David Frankham) but is actually a wanted criminal.

Gone With The Twins

Violence is similarly more frequent and graphic, but it's the anticipated and appropriately ghastly climactic reveal - all too familiar in design yet tremendously satisfying - that proves to be a genuine crowd-pleaser.

Rated: 5/10

This is an old film but it actually looked quite good. The monster fly outfit was a little goofy but actually pretty cool. Certainly not comparable to The Fly II (1989) but still a fun monster costume. The sound was nothing amazing, the dialogue was a little tough to understand at times. This did make it harder to watch. The story is definitely weaker than the original and even the sequel to the remake. It is a very weak story. It basically is just the son continuing the father’s research but with a different (weaker) ending and framing story. This is one film that can be forgotten by time.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

3.25 stars. If you enjoyed the original "Fly," this is worth watching. New subplot here with a suprise ending.

This is what happens when you rush a sequel, especially with a smaller budget. I don't know for certain, but with the black and white film and bigger fly head, I'm guessing. But there is a bright side to the slightly and goofier head. There were more animatronics in the head, more movement. In a lot of ways it's a step down but there is still plenty to like about it. As rushed sequels go, it could have been worse.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A cheaper and cheesier sequel to the original but genre legend Vincent Price (Laura, Dragonwyck) once again gives a good performance
