The Fly (1986 film)/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The baboon experiment scene.
  • The moment Seth's flesh started to fall off and the Fly-head erupted from his normal head.
  • Seth realizing that Ronnie should stay away from him because he is starting to lose his humanity. Very tense scene.
    • Kind of doubles as a Tear Jerker if you notice the genuine tears Seth and Ronnie were both shedding after.
  • This little gem before the final transformation.

Brundle: Help me. Help me be human.
Veronica: How? (cut to Brundle jumping down into the lab with Veronica)
Brundle: (as he leads Veronica over to the computer) Well...I go there...(referring to one telepod) and, uh, you...go there...(referring to the other telepod) We...come apart...then, and then, we...come together there. (Veronica turns to see the prototype) You, me, and the baby. Together.
Veronica: No...
Brundle: We'll be the ultimate family. A family of three, joined together in one body. More human than I am alone.

  • The maggot baby nightmare. Especially since it's not framed as a dream until she wakes up.
