There is a reason people don't believe in evolution and think stem cell research will send you to hell. Is it because of the bible? No, it's because of movies like this scare the pants off of them. Science gone terribly wrong isn't a new fear by any stretch of the imagination (ask Dr. Frankenstein) but nowadays there are breakthroughs like cloning in the news making the stuff of horror legends seem possible.
This is a remake but a very well done remake. Jeff Goldblum plays a scientist (big surprise) whom through all sorts of sciencey stuff ends up turning himself into a fly. Does it sound really corny? Yes, but believe me it works. The special effects in this movie are really good and have that feel that only an 80's horror/sci-fi flick has. None of that CGI crap here, just a dude in a costume wearing lots of makeup and it really works. If you're looking for a good movie to watch during Halloween week I recommend checking out this one.
