“Be afraid, be very afraid.”
Fun fact: Producer Mel Brooks came up with that iconic line.
Wish they’d release a 4K bluray
This, The Blob, and The Thing makes a perfect “80s body horror trilogy”
I just realised my lifelong fear of addiction and STDs come from watching the same movie when I was a child.
I remember watching this for the first time as a kid. It taught me not all movies have happy endings.
Always thought brundlefly was kinda hot ngl
Let’s also not forget that this is a 90-minute movie. Three main characters, all fully fleshed out. We see Brundle and Veronica’s relationship develop enough to justify her care for him as he changes. Brundle’s transformation is given the time and subtlety it deserves. And Stathis has one of the best arcs in cinema from a villain to the hero of the story in a way that isn’t forced at all.
This amazing movie must break the brains of modern screenwriters. It’s just magnificent
