Synopsis:
"The boundaries of science are pushed
to their eery limits in this sequel to the classic, ever-popular
The Fly. Here, Philippe, the son of the ill-fated scientist,
naively continues his father's misguided experiments. The
victim of his traitorous assistant's greedy ambitions, Philippe
finds himself in a terrifying limbo -- he's grown the head
and limbs of a fly! Taking spectacular revenge on his betrayers,
Philippe must also race against time and find a way to reverse
the horrifying mutation." -

My oppinion:
I must admit, I was a bit surprised to
see that it was in B/W. I don't mind movies being in B/W,
but when it's a sequel to a movie that was in colour, I get
a bit suspicious. It just doesn't seem like a very good sign..
Return of the Fly is by no means as good as "The
Fly", but it was a lot better then I expected.
We get to see a bit more of the fly man in this one, and that
can be seen upon as both a good thing and a bad thing. Bad
because the fly suit still doesn't look very impressing, though,
it's a little bit better then the first one. Also think I
need to point out the scene where the bad guy steps on a "guinea-pig",
that just cracked me up! I don't think the story in this one
was as good as the original, I feel I've seen this kind of
story many times before. That being said, I think this story
is the only way they could have managed to get away with this
sequel. Vincent
Price does a nice performance once again, but I
wasn't too impressed with the bad guy's acting.
Return of the Fly is a pretty decent and enjoyable horror
movie that doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor. Though,
it's definantly worth checking out if you liked the first
one!
