Freaky film for the time, re-made pretty well with Goldblum starring.

“Help me!” indeed. The viewer is left wondering which is worse, the fly with the human head and vocal chords, or the six-foot half-n-half monster.

Very cool concepts in horror sci-fi, but wouldn’t have thought there’d be enough material for a book on the subject.

The authors purported to have spent years working on it, but as far as I could tell it contained nothing you or I couldn’t have come up with just using the IMDb as our only reference. It didn’t help that literally half of the book’s word count was taken up by the detailed credit listings of each and every film, which left room for–and this may be an overstatement–a paragraph’s worth of commentary (which I disagreed with). I started writing a ranty review of it for this site, but halfway through I realized it wasn’t worth the effort.

Still, it really does suck when writers are given an opportunity to publish a work that is likely never going to be attempted again and screw it up so royally.
