5/10
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. Go to Full Review

Dallas H Oct 26 This sequel movie is not as much fun as its predecessor. But it does have Vincent Price appearing as the Uncle in both films, so that counts as a freebie on my shlockstick cinema Bingo card. See more Justin T 10/23/2024 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. See more Georgan G 06/29/2024 3.25 stars. If you enjoyed the original "Fly," this is worth watching. New subplot here with a suprise ending. See more Deke P 10/14/2023 Still a classic concept. Tho not as good as the original, still interesting. & VINCENT PRICE in it. Giving it at least 3.5 RT stars. Saw it on the tv set 10.13.23. Note to sef, pay close attention to 1st haf. See more Steve D 07/13/2023 It looks ridiculous but the story is fine. See more Chris M 03/08/2023 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.
