What the audience says
The Fly holds up as a perfectly decent English film, if not a remarkable one. It holds a 7.4/10 on TMDB from 5,171 ratings, well above what most films manage.
Should you spend 96 minutes on it?
96 minutes of English horror with science fiction threaded through, not one for younger kids. That score holds across 5,171 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
- Why
- 7.4/10 over 5,171 ratings — solidly liked rather than loved, and the number isn't going to move.
- Skip if
- dread and jump scares aren't what you want tonight
- Best for
- A weeknight
