  Cursed Films 2020

  ★★★½ Watched by Jason Alley🏳️‍🌈🐻 22 May 2022

  It's been a Cronenberg family kind of day, what can I say?

  How can a movie simultaneously be one of the most viscerally disturbing monster movies ever AND one of the most heartbreaking, tragic love stories of the 1980s? It's a rarity to find a movie that hits so squarely on all intended marks (scares, suspense, gross-out moments, special effects, emotional intensity...), but David Cronenberg's still-stunning remake of THE FLY (oh yeah, it's also one of the greatest remakes of…
