Why the hate here and especially on imdb? I liked that one back in 1997 as I do now. Is it mediocre? Yes, but it's uncomplicated fun.
This follow up to 1959's "The Return of the Fly" seems barely related to the first two movies of the series. There's no new fly-related action in it at all and there's no Vincent Price. But there is the Delambre family and this time they're busy teleporting back and forth between Quebec and London to stay one step ahead of the authorities.
There are some cool directorial touches. The scene that plays during the opening credits is in slow motion and it's again in glorious black and white. It features Carole Gray escaping from a mental institution in nothing but a bra and panties. The laboratory set and transporters are classic Sci-Fi inventions. There's also an amazing shot when Martin enters a "cage" to find a deformed man leaping toward him. The look of this shot is really freaky, the man is filmed with some sort of negative effect that makes him look almost other dimensional. Also shocking is the transportation of two men, one after the other, but before each of them reaches the destination transporter. The result of the reintegration is actually fairly gory.
The ending seems a bit rushed but it's not the typical happy Hollywood ending normally encountered in movies from this time period. "The Curse of the Fly" is a pretty entertaining and stylish finish to the overall satisfying "Fly" trilogy.
Now we know where the Professor gained all his knowledge prior to boarding the S.S. Minnow.
The tingler isn’t really scary but who cared when you watch Vincent
Price! Great movie…. Watch it!
If every filmmaker had the passion of Roger Corman, what a wonderful Hollywood it would be.
a colossal epic that still holds up to this day. Dare one say one of the best movies ever made
She just goes - a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes.
An underated Michael Caine gem; worth it for the line "Don't forget to tell your mum you went to Disney World"
Keeps you on the edge of your seat, cheering for the underdog the entire time. A perfect example of Hitchcock's work.
Animation has to be by far one of the worse. They tried to hard to be original but it just looks horrible. Awkward proportions, Movement terribly unrealistic. Resemblance of badlands. That alone made for a terrible watch.
Voice actors were also terribly casted.
Storyline was not the best.
this movie was just horrible and omg so much screaming! i just wanted him to kill her and end this movie.
Do yourself a favor.... skip this one and just watch Red Dragon.
So Dennis Miller at some point utters the line ...........I feel like I'm in a bad episode of Tales From The Crypt!
My microwave popcorn was better than this.
You can't just do 90 minutes of people's heads exploding and call that a movie.
I stuck it out for Clint but I was not rewarded. meh.
An absolute gem of a sports movie. People may find it corny but for me it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Of course there are "better" movies but for some strange reason this one touches my heart. A man playing against old age one last time to reach the highest peak, to make himself immortal. For a sports fan there is nothing more poetic than that.
Interesting world that is set up. It's slow but not boring.
I can't believe I actually found a Laurel and Hardy movie I didn't know.
Yes, their movies are repetitive. But I have always been a huge fan - shoot me.
The Marines are looking for a few good men, unfortunately you ain't it.
If you like campy, slightly wonky horror movies from yesteryear then The Corpse Vanishes is worth a watch. It bristles along at a good pace and Luana Walters carries the film as the roving reporter who suspects Bela Lugosi's Dr. Lorenz.
Nope, nothing to see here...move along.
Despite the title, not one drop of blood is seen in the entire movie.
Just too stupid for words.
What the hell is this!?? Bullshit?? Full of nonsense
This was a violently disappointing film. After what I considered to be a horror masterpiece in The Witch, I was rather eagerly awaiting this period horror piece starring the unlikely duo of Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson, and a mermaid. Unfortunately, I found it interminable.
It’s a movie too obsessed with its own weirdness to provide any payoff worth the viewer’s time. I found the writing to be overwrought and often incomprehensible. On the positive side, the two lead performances are quite good. Still, this movie pales in comparison to its predecessor.
Some excellent cinematography. Some great monologues by Dafoe. But mostly, I’m left with a feeling of “What did I just watch...? And why...?”
Drew Barrymore held the film together. Really enjoyed it.
This film is just so much fun right? We have Vincent Price avenging his wife by killing the doctors who couldn't save her. And he does with with loads of creativity, basing his kills on Egypt Curses.
I loved that he couldn't speak because of the accident he had while trying to get in time to his wife and Vincent Price sells that very well! I also really love those colorful 70's horror films. I only missed the Hammer red blood.
The opening though, with the concert, you're like wtf? And they suck you right in! We also have a fun detective played by Peter Jeffrey. Who is always one step behind the great Vincent Price!
Anyway, this is a must watch for anyone. It great fun and has a great ending. You won't regret these 90 minutes!
