10 Disgusting Sci-Fi Movies You Watch And Then Never Forget
10. The Fly (1986)
The 1986 remake of The Fly stars Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in a true David Cronenberg classic. In the movie, Goldblum plays Seth Brundle, a scientist whose terrible vertigo from all modes of transportation pushes him to invent Telepods, which are pods capable of teleporting a person from one place to another.
It takes him a while to get the science to line up perfectly, as anything organic he runs though the Telepods turns inside-out. When he finally perfects the device, he steps in and successfully teleports from one pod to the other, but there was a small bug in the system.
That's not computer slang, there was an insect inside with him, and as you might expect, it was a fly. The Telepod transported Brundle, but it also merged the fly's DNA with his own, and he begins to transform into a man-sized fly with all the disgusting bells and whistles that come with being a fly.
He first gains superstrength, but this leads to vomiting acid so he could digest his food (that's how flys eat), and ultimately, he becomes Brundlefly, an amalgamated creature of mostly fly characteristics in a humanoid-ish body that's hard to forget. Things turn violent, and he's transported again, but emerges as a Brundlefly/Telepod nightmare, asking that Davis' Ronnie kill him to end his suffering.
