There are actually very few horror films that are terrifying as opposed to just grotesque. This is one of them. You'll FEEL the pain of these characters. Seth Brundle is a mild-mannered scientist in Cronenberg’s (remake of) The Fly and his obsession with perfecting some transportation technology.
After a heated dispute with a lover, Seth accidentally mutates himself into a fly-man. Things actually seem pretty good at first as he gains spectacular new abilities. But soon his body begins to degenerate and the film goes into a wrenching descent. NOT RECOMMENDED for the squeamish as Cronenberg pulls absolutely no punches in this sick but philosophically-powerful dissection on the body.
