| User ReviewElliot Rpeople say its not to good but i was really enjoying this threequel |
| User ReviewRussell Gan okay second sequel to the 1958 original, but not that great. |
| User ReviewMike KI liked this sequel, just a shame Vincent didn't return. I thought the finale was good, especially the revelation of the destruction of the teleportation machine over the phone. Strange there isn't a single fly in the film, but it had it's good creepy moments, despite it's very low budget. |
| User ReviewKen DIt was pretty captivating for an ol' b&w movie, low budget but lots of twists and turns in the plot. Loved it! I think Guy Madden should continue the story...this has a Canadian side to it. |
| User Reviewprkprk pThe Curse of the Fly is dissapointing because the fly doesn't appear, but it has some pretty good drama included. |
| User ReviewRichard DWhen a movie starts with a girl in her underwear busting out of an asylum and tearing ass down a road in the middle of the night, it's a pretty safe bet that the film won't be dull. This second sequel to "The Fly" certainly isn't dull. It may not make a ton of sense, but it's a lot of fun. Said girl runs into Martin Delambre (George Baker) on the road, and he picks her up and takes her to Montreal (after stealing some clothes for her from a clothesline). He's almost inexplicably nice to her, buying her a hotel room, clothes and lending her money, and they end up marrying after two or three days. The problem is that neither of them are being totally honest with each other. She neglects to mention that she was escaping from a loony bin when they met. He doesn't mention that his father (Brian Donlevy) is continuing the teleportation experiments of his father (see "The Fly") and have accidentally made barely human monsters out of two lab assistants and Martin's first wife. Everything hits the fan pretty spectacularly with people getting teleported together into inhuman masses, axe murders, deformed ex-wives and Burt Kwouk! |
| User ReviewAnne PThis film is set a number of years after Return of the Fly and again sees the Delambre family meddling with transportation technology. This film is notable mainly for its range of British actors and its brave attempt to take the series in a new direction. Lacking the cohesiveness of the first two films this entry falls short of their high standard. |
| User ReviewGrisel B"this is one of those - don't ask - don't tell - but somehow i liked the low budget, retro, stupid special effects - quality feel to it" |
| User ReviewChris .While not as awful as Return of the Fly, it's more boring. |
| User ReviewJoshua LWeak script, lethargic acting and cheap makeup. All of the original cast is strongly needed. |
