Summary: Understanding a Fly
Review: This shocking chiller is a legend in it's own right providing thrills and jumps second to none for its time.The story of a determined inventor who creates a means of transporting humans from one area to another.In finally transporting himself a fly enters the pod with him (mixing DNA's) and what follows is thrilling, terrifying and horrific with a no holes barred approach to shocking the core of your being. Incredibily directed and carefully acted this gem provides gripping images and plots from start to a sad but brutal finish,or begining. Enjoy and be afraid!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved Eric Stoltz and this sequel was true to form!
Review: This was a great sequel. The story did in fact follow the first story and picked right up with his birth. Most sequels make no sense. I thought the story line with the dog was great and the end was pure poetic justice. A job well done!

Summary: BLECK
Review: THIS WAS SORT OF AN INSULT TO THE FIRST ONE. GET THE FIRST ONE INSTEAD. DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Average remake, Above average sequel, like the originals
Review: While I was growing up, I heard, in other movies I watched, references to the first movie. When I was old enough to watch horror movies, I decided to give these movies a try. It took me a while to get used to them, but now I'm addicted to them as, sort of, a fan of horror. I rented these all the time until my father got me them for Christmas. Some Christmas present, huh ? But I have made two important rules:

1. ) Don't watch these movies unless you really, really want to, because they're scary and kinda gross, especially with their amount of blood and gore, especially the second one.

2. ) Don't eat when you watch them.

For the first one, I will give 3 stars. For the second one, I will give 4 stars. And for this double-feature DVD, I will give 4 stars. This double-feature DVD works beautifully, although it doesn't have a behind-the-scenes or a commentary on both movies, which is a real bummer. I don't know what all the fuss is about on most of the other reviews of these movies that I've read saying the second one is no better than the first. I only watch the first one for when he turns into the creature at the end. That's my favorite sequence. The reason I like the second one a lot more is because, as, sort of, an action fan, it has action. The first one doesn't have any action at all. It's just romantic and dramatic. While the second one is not as romantic and dramatic as the first and while it also ups the gore factor quite a bit, it has action, which makes it a little more interesting than the first, even if it's not as imaginative as the first.

Howard Shore's music score in the first one is ingenious, but I like Christopher Young's score in the second one a lot more. The fly creature in the first one is cool, but I think the one in the second one is, like the movie is, an improvement of the first one. And the second one has other cool creatures, like the dog. I think my favorite sequence in the second one is when Martin comes out of his cocoon and goes on a rampage, killing anyone he runs into or who tried to use him and to get his revenge on Bartok, the man who tried to use him for study so he could make more fly creatures.

I think director David Cronenberg ( The director of the first one ) and Chris Walas ( The make-up effects whiz of both movies and director of the second one ) are some of the best of the best. And I think they did their very best with both these movies. If you liked them, I recommend the originals with Vincent Price: THE FLY and RETURN OF THE FLY. Look for them on another double-feature DVD. They're just as much fun as these are. All four of these movies are cool !

Rating: 1 stars
