10 Disgusting Sci-Fi Movies You Watch And Then Never Forget
You only need to watch these disgusting scenes once and they'll stay with you the rest of your life.
Typically, when people think of science fiction in film, their mind goes to aliens and starships battling it out among the stars. To be fair, Sci-Fi has a ton of subgenres, but in addition to those, it has a talent for combining other genres within its narrative.
The best marriage of genres has got to be horror and sci-fi. Combining the horrific and disgusting aspects of a horror film with the futuristic allure of sci-fi has resulted in some memorable and highly profitable movies over the years.
Of course, there are plenty that don't do well, but the ones that manage to court both genres perfectly, make up some of the best, albeit disgusting, films ever made. This is usually due to a scene or aspect of a movie that is completely unforgettable, and the very best ones feature parts that are outright disgusting!
Even if a movie isn't all that great, a truly disgusting scene finds a way to stick with you for years and years. Often, there's a single scene from a movie that does this like some kind of video eyeworm that gets into your brain and makes you paranoid around dark corners of the house.
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.
