The fly: 5 stars, Great film, lets not say what it's about lets talk about it, the film is just brilliant it was my favourite film for quite a while but other films came to my attention. The dvd has a trailer, cast interviews and a behind the scenes feature. The cast interviews are just like the behind the scenes and the trailer is really good.
See this film, very touching and romantic but also very scary.

The fly 2: 3 stars, wouldn't say it was great its reasonably good, but it doesn't top the first at all. Has the same features as the first dvd, trailer, bla, bla... This is probobly the tiniest bit more gruesome. Jeff goldblum is missing which is a shame and Geena davis is also missed out. The first film's the best but watch the second to see what concludes after the first.

A Gruesome - Twosome!!

To start with, the release of these two films in a readily affordable 2 in 1 package was much welcomed by my wallet! 'The Fly' holds its own against its predecessor in many ways - its combines a simple and chilling story with all out gore and superb special effects. Jeff Goldblum is excellent as the doomed scientist Seth Brundle, who creates the teleporter and when experimenting on himself, unknowingly enters it with a housefly. His transformation from man to insect is intense as it is stomach churning. Geena Davis is more than adequate as the tormented girlfriend.

'The Fly 2' doesn't quite pull of in scary terms what the first one achieved, perhaps due to a lack of atmosphere that was so clearly present in 'The Fly', but is an excellent 100 minutes of added entertainment. Continuing from the first, Eric Stoltz is the spawn of Seth Brundle, born human but with an accelerated growth 'disease', which in turn means that he grows far quicker than average and also has remarkable intelligence. He eventually starts to realise that he will, like his father, become mutated and fights a race against time to save himself, but standing in his way is his guardian from birth, Mr Bartok, who wants his 'project' to develop so that he can attempt some form of personal legacy.

All in all, this DVD set is great value for money and great for that night in when a scare and some gore would go down a treat...'be afraid, be very afraid'!!!
