Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

The Big Picture While filmmakers often benefit from revisiting older material and interpreting it in a different way, remakes are notoriously difficult within the horror genre. A great horror remake must both honor the original film’s signature imagery whilst adapting it for modern audiences; this is particularly challenging when the original work has already become well known in popular culture.

Release Date August 15, 1986 Director David Cronenberg Cast Jeff Goldblum , Geena Davis , John Getz , Joy Boushel , Leslie Carlson , George Chuvalo Runtime 96 minutes Main Genre Horror Studio 20th Century 'The Fly' Generates Empathy for Seth Brundle The Fly centers on the brilliant scientist Seth Brundle, played by Jeff Goldblum in one of his greatest performances.

'The Fly's Deleted Scene Was Too Gruesome While he was not the first choice to direct The Fly, Cronenberg’s approach to the film was instrumental to its success. Cronenberg leaned away from the more sensationalized aspects of monster movies at the time and applied his style of body horror to make the film even more gruesome. A deleted scene involved a desensitized Brundle attempting to merge the DNA of a cat and monkey together.
