Be afraid, be very afraid!
This 1980's classic b-movie adaption is one of those few films that takes an established classic and adds it's own cult marker in its re-telling.
A scientist (not mad yet), meets a reporter and convinces her to document his progress in perfecting his teleportation 'pods'. In doing so, Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis become romantically entangled, leading to an odd relationship and a real need for frequent showers.
Cronenberg and Goldblum are an ideal mesh, a disturbed mind and an eccentic performer, that combined to create a guey, gloppy mess...and I love it!
Budget: $15,000,000
Gross: $60,629,159
Fun Fact: The sequel to this remake starred Eric Stoltz and a rather interestingly re-arranged labrador dog...not bad for a sequel, but not in the same category as The Fly.
