Return of the Fly Movie Reviews

A quickie capitalizes on the popularity of the original…

BRETT HALSEY is one of those handsome young actors from the ’50s who never quite made it to stardom, and following the trend of other such actors, he fled to Europe where he found a niche for a decade or so in adventure films. He was certainly a competent enough actor and it’s a shame Fox never groomed him for major stardom.

Nor did Fox have enough faith in this one to use technicolor (as they did for the original). As sequels go, it’s just a fair job on an obviously shoestring budget–and basically, without giving any of the storyline away, it’s a story of revenge.

It’s all suitably photographed in low key B&W lighting that gives it the proper atmosphere. The performers are capable enough–including Halsey, Vincent Price, John Sutton and Dan Seymour–but their material is scarcely worthy of their combined talents. Fans of this sort of science fiction will no doubt find it has a certain amount of interest.

Anyone who enjoyed “The Fly” will want to see this and probably not be too critical of the shortcomings–although the special effects are not quite as harrowing as they could be.

Summing up: Okay for a viewing, but not likely to be the kind of horror flick anyone will want to revisit.

A worthy follow-up.

“The Return of the Fly” takes place many years after “The Fly”. The dead scientist from the original film had a son, Philippe, and this young man has grown up and has a fixation of finishing his father’s experiments…the same one that turned him into two fly/human hybrids. However, what he doesn’t know is that his friend and lab assistant, Alan, is evil and plans on stealing the project. Ultimately, Alan deliberately turns Philippe into the hybrids and shoots Philippe’s uncle (Vincent Price) as well!! What a jerk-face! Can they manage to find both fly-brids and reintegrate them back to the creatures they once were? And, can Alan be punished for his infamy?

Rarely would I say this, but this sequel is about equal in quality to the original film. Considering it came out only a year later, this isn’t such a huge surprise. It also managed to be creative and original as well as entertaining. Well worth seeing…just like the prior film.

Return of the classic buzz!

Nice black & white follow-up to the colorful 1958’s original. Philippe Delambre decides to continue his father’s work, at the disapproval of his uncle François (an ever so great Vincent Price, reprising his role from the first film, this time having a lot more screen time). Inevitably, things go wrong again, but not the way one might expect they would. Actually, the subplot about betrayal and revenge is the one that drives this film and keeps it all interesting. And if you want to know what comes out of the second tele-pod when you throw a human and a hamster together in the first, then all you have to do is watch this sequel to know the answer. Decent classic horror entertainment. And a damn decent sequel to boot.
