Summary: Thrilling sci-fi classic with plenty of shocks and scares !!
Review: Two spine tingling horror thrillers from the late 50's starring the American prince of horror, Vincent Price, on one DVD !!Fans of the original (and less bloody) "THE FLY" will be wrapped to see this classic film presented in glorious crystal clear color and dolby digital sound that really gets the hairs up on the back of your neck. For those who don't know the story...scientist Andre Delambre (David Hedison....later to star in "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea") develops a matter transfer device. However, on trialling the machine himself, a fly is caught inside, and Hedison emerges with fly's head and arm...and the fly now posesses Hedison's head and arm !! Film boasts plenty of classic shock moments...including the first time we see the fly in full view !! "Return of the Fly" isn't quite up to the original, but still has plenty of enjoyable moments that make it a nice companion to the original....and it still has Vincent Price on board ! Interesting anecdote from "THE FLY"...according to Vincent Price in his book "I Like what I Know", in the final sequence of "THE FLY" where Price and fellow actor Herbert Marshall are peering into a spiders web containing the fly (with human head and arm)..the two actors could not complete the supposedly sombre scene without bursting into fits of paralysing laughter. The only way they could finish the scene was by ensuring no eye contact was made with each other....otherwise the laughter just continued !! For any cult sci-fi fan....a great addition to your DVD collection !!

Summary: Help yourself to these two gems
Review: Vincent Price gets top billing, but it's Al (David) Hedison who is the careless scientist who invents matter transmission and lives to regret it in The Fly. In the sequel, Brett Halsey gets the treatment. The scientific premise behind both movies is sound as a dollar: Anyone transmitting himself along with a fly will come out with the head and insectoid malevolence of a fly. Of course! Okay, one might wonder about all the parasitic organisms living like squatters on every human body, like the dust mites on your eyelashes, for example, and question why a person doesn't come out part human, part fly and part dust mite, but those questions are reserved for people with nothing better to think about, like me. For the rest of humanity, both The Fly and Return of the Fly deliver the goods. This double feature DVD is a gem, highly recommended.
